Origami Owl

No, it isn't folded paper! It is my first attempt at direct sales (home parties.) and so far it is going really well. We all know this is normally not my cup of tea, at all, but something really just felt right about this opportunity.

Origami Owl was founded in 2011 by a 14 year old girl who took $300 she made by babysitting and bought some generic lockets and sold them to make money to buy her first car. They caught on, so it quickly developed into what it is today, which is a social locket jewelry company - and we just had our one millionth order!!

School's Out For the Summer!

I am so excited that it's summer break! The boys were a little crazy that first week, but it's partially my fault (and, lesson learned) because I took vacation from work and planned a Jackson/Delaney birthday party, so it was a lot of routine messing-with-ness.  

We have a lot of excitement planned for the summer so far. We have already gone to the museum and the zoo, Kings Island and Lazer Kraze. We've signed up for the library's summer reading program and are well on our way to 20 books already. (They've gotten the prize for 5 books read. We signed up last week.)  We will be staying on top of our schooling - Jackson is going to be practicing math and reading comprehension, Parker will work on his cutting skills and his letters and writing. We will all be doing science experiments. Want to come over for them?
