Hello my name is Desi and I am addicted to Etsy

Thanks to my friend Sam, I have been introduced to this lovely site. I am consumed with the need to buy something all the time. Why you ask? Maybe because I love the fact that things can be custom made for you. Please do not even get me started on all the cute stuff for babies. I tried to explain to Chris that Adam does indeed need 10 onesies with his name on them. I love the idea of something being made especially for you. Plus I love the anticipation of waiting to receive good stuff in the mail.
I am obsessed with jewelry. I have always loved it. So what better than to have your name or your loved one's initials forever branded on it. I am crazy about monograms (among other things). I didn't realize all the different things that can monogramed for you. If I had a baby girl, I believe that all of my paycheck would be spent on etsy. There is way more cute stuff for girls than for boys (a whole another topic for a blog). Alas, I realize that the obsession needs to stop. Should I quit cold turkey or slowing wean myself off? Oh one more purchase won't hurt. Every baby needs a "Future Republican" onesie. I am just doing my patriotic duty. : )

Highlights from our trip to DLand









We took Adam on his first trip to Disneyland a couple of weeks ago. We also got to meet my cousin's baby girl Ella, who is one day younger than Adam. He did really well all day and it was so great getting to spend the day with Rod, Brad & Ella. We are looking forward to going back in November with Jon & Gaby & their boys.
