Caught Ya

Happy Monday to ya!!

Recovering from a nice weekend visit from my parents

Catching up on laundry and vacuuming the fun stuff right

Lots of organizing and redoing on my list this week

Plus my birthday eek...

Let's not even go there I am totally over the counting part

Couple things I wanted to share today

Random stuff

First I want to thank some of readers for visiting my Shop Sew Vintage

and for their kind words & purchases 

I really appreciate all of it., I am passionate about growing shop

and love finding goodies to share

The other thing I want to share

is this lady's blog Kasey Buick

whew.. I found her on instagram

and stalked her blog I am so glad I did

thou, it was just what I needed

I know I sometimes paint a rosie picture of our lives on here

we are truly having a tough time making ends meet

with one small salary but we are fighting to make it work

cutting corners where they need to be cut and seeking help on the other side

to help provide for our kids. I know alot of people are in the same boat

with the economy and yada yada 

Anyway  sorry to ramble but Kasey helped brighten my perception of making it

Her husband lost his job that they moved their family to Chicago for

(family  of 3) mind you

they decided to sell/rent house pack up and move to Kauai

and rent a little place and just simplify everything  

Her husband waits tables, bar-tends and she works part time at a clothing store

So I know your asking what does this have to do with us

well we didn't move to paradise but have moved to our paradise I guess you 

could say, but in all of this she gave me a glimpse of hope

that things will turn around for us

we will make it

everyone hits a hard spot

well thanks for listening to my rambling

And for some cute pictures that have nothing to do with this post :)

caught ya my little explorer 

whew... this boy 

A-ha look what I found
