In the meantime...

We've had a house full of the sickies for the past week. Bry was first, and a trip to the pediatrician explained his misery with a positive strep test. Alex was next, then Caiden, and although I haven't gotten the full-blown illness, I can tell that my body is doing all it can to fight it. Poor Caiden, he has been sick at the end of every term this school year. Only Brooke has escaped this bug, which is fine, since he's already had enough misery this year.

Rather than dwell on that, I think I will give a shout-out to a couple of Etsy stores that I've purchased from recently. I love quality homemade goods! First, I bought this darling headband from here.



It is so well-made and amazingly comfortable. Plus, she's a fellow BYU alumnus. We've got to support each other, you know!!

I also bought this fabulous bracelet from here.



The picture doesn't do this gorgeous bracelet justice! The details are amazing! I love the toggle clasp, it's so unusual.

I highly recommend either of these sellers and their products. If you haven't shopped at Etsy, check it out. It's so fun to see all the creativity and hard work that goes into each seller's products.
