It was just one of these mornings...

Hi there,

I woke up to a beautiful morning today. The sun outside my window found its way through the blinds and slowly warmed up the room. Emma slept in for once (she gives mommy a break every once in a while :0), and I was just laying in bed feeling so lucky and blessed. I felt so happy that my husband was home from his trip and that the entire family was back together again. Emma woke up shortly after I woke up, and we all snuggled up in bed and hung out for a bit. In my book, there is just nothing better than family time in the morning because it really sets the mood for the rest of the day. And today the mood is set for great :0).

I tell you, life is pretty exciting over here. We are keeping so busy every day and there is always something fun and exciting going on. For example, Emma and I were filmed for a short commercial yesterday. One of my closest friends here were filming a commercial for her acupuncture practice, and since she helped me get pregnant with Emma, she wanted us to be in the commercial. Emma did great and everyone fell in love with her of course. Come to think of it, this might be a good career for her. She could be America's Next Top Baby Model (lol).

Speaking of baby models, I am currently in the process of starting a new business and I am so excited I am about to burst :0). Before Emma (I like to say I lived one life before her and started another after she was born), I used to be a Life Coach where I helped my clients overcome obstacles and achieve different goals. Since I had Emma, my priorities have changed, and I really want to do something that will allow me to work and stay home with her at the same time. I want Emma to be a part of the new business too, so it will be something we can create together.

A friend of mine opened a Swedish online baby store in Chile and she has done quite well for herself. I was originally planning to open a regular baby store here in the US, but with the economy and people being more busy these days, an online store is an even better idea. Who knows about moms lack of time to shop better than me? I have also been searching high and low for high quality baby products and toys here in the US, and there are simply not that many to choose from. Tittut Baby (Peek-a-boo baby) was born out of the desire to find high quality baby products and not being able to find them here.

So, naturally, opening an European online baby boutique seems to be the obvious choice for me at this time. I will sell Swedish and German wooden baby toys, along with other Swedish baby products, and I just know it is going to be fantastic. Woohoo!! :0).

I will fill you in along the way on everything that is happening with the store as well as when it is ready for take off. Like I said before, life is pretty exciting at my end of the world...:0)
