A little bit about me...I am currently a stay at home mom to two elementary aged boys. I decided back in 2009 that it'd be fun to open up my own little boutique style store and I started selling tutu's! Yeah, I live with a bunch of boys, but make tutu's - kind of ironic, isn't it?! It's definitely been a journey and for those of you who own your own small, online business, you can attest to the fact that it takes a lot of hard work, time and marketing of your product....
Anyway, I am just so happy that you have stopped by my blog! Besides writing about my tutu's, I also talk about food (who doesn't love a peanut butter bon bon?!), books, crafts and other bloggers to keep things interesting! My posts are usually pretty short, as my attention span is not at all long these days. I totally blame that on parenting two rowdy kids! So, in my promise to keep things short, I will sign off for now....thanks for visiting and come back soon!!

TuTu makers, Bon Bon eater and mom to boys....My kind of mama!! =)

I have three little boys, and can relate to the need for something girly :) Your blog looks great - can't wait to look around a bit more... enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteIt's your day! I love that you have little boys, but are a tutu making mama. I am not a mom to anyone yet, but I am one of three girls. We are all abou the flair around here.
ReplyDeleteI love that your posts are usually short...those are the blogs I love to read. :) Have a fabulous SITS day!
P.S. Your design is darling!
Happy SITS day!! I have been here before and I'm delighted your beautiful tutus are going to be viewed by many.

It's easy to lose your feminity when you're surrounded by testosterone! Your tutu's are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour tutus are adorable. I have a one year old who I always dress in tutus and pettiskirts, so I'm definitely going to stay a while and look around. A girl can never have too many tutus!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! Your tutus are adorable and I'm going to check out more posts. I love recipes and sharing them is the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteI love tutus and yours are adorable. I have a tutu wearing princess and I have so much fun dressing her. Big tutus and big bows are her signature. (okay, mine I guess since she is just now learning to say No and Yes.)
Have a great day.
Happy SITS day! Love the tutus. I'm a mom of two boys too, but much older. Mine are 18 and 21.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Day to you!
ReplyDeleteThe tutus are adorable. My daughter loves them.
Such a cute site you have! The link to your site seems to not be working though...you might want to get that working...maybe you could make some sales today! Happy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteYour tutus are just gorgeous! I wish you all the best with your business! And with your house full of boys!
ReplyDeleteCheers to you on your SITS day! I have also been waiting a looooong time to be featured (my day is coming up in a few short weeks, yippie!)
ReplyDeleteI love that you make such sweet and darling creations in the midst of your role as a mama to boys. I've got two boys in my midst as well.
Hope you enjoy your day!

Happy SITS day! I love the tutus. I have boys as well but I don't think it's crazy at all to do with tutus with no girls. Gives you something girly to mess with!

Yay for your SITS day and your lovely blog. Way to go for getting out there with your cute tutus. I have made a cute craft from time to time, but have always shied away from entering the business. It take a lot of guts and a lot of hard work. So good job and keep those adorable tutus comin'. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! these are amazing and the pics of the little girls dancing and twirling takes me back to being a little girl myself! What fun!
ReplyDeleteFrom one small business girl to another, great site, great product!
Have a great day!

Oh, gosh, how cute are your tutus?!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a memorable SITS Day. They are a long time in coming.
I hope you enjoyed your big day! = ) I loved reading all the great comments!
ReplyDeleteI waited for over a year too. It felt like forever. Congrats on making it to the big day. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI was just gushing my love of tutus over at SITS. I used to take ballet, and have worn my fair share of them. Yours are so cute! If I were at all good at DIY projects, I would probably make tutus, myself, but I'm not so you won't get any competition from me! ;) I'm going to go look around at your blog now. Hope you've enjoyed your feature day! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteI love tutus so much! I do have a 2 yo daughter (probably to my 5 yo son's relief!) because I do love a good tutu. I loved seeing your post about your first tu-tu!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Day!
Congratulations on your SITS day. Sorry I was late. I hope it was great.
ReplyDeleteYour tutus are beautiful. I'm off to check out some more.
Happy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute blog and I love the idea of Tutus. Do you have a shop? I can't get any of your links to work - possibly just my computer today!
I hope you found lots of lovely new readers.

The tutus are adorable. It's wonderful that you started your own business. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteSo cute I can hardly stand it!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! I love your products and am following your blog. May need to purchase when my little one gets a bit bigger, only 7 months! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your SITS day!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! I have seen your tutu's before and love them! I hope you are having a great day.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so great that you are selling tutu's with 2 boys. I have 4 boys and my sis has 2 boys!! We also started our own business selling designer hospital gowns (we are both nurses) and know what it is like to run a busines, have a family and still work in the work world!! It does require a lot of energy but so worth it so congrats to you!!! Happy SITS day (a little late:-))
