The Back Page – Little Monkeys

Three out of six of us are sick.  Unfortunately, two of those are me and my husband.    Hopefully this will pass quickly and we’ll be back to normal ASAP.

Big birthday weekend at our house.  Not that anything big is really happening, but it’s a big birthday number for Chris, my husband. The big 4-0!!  His plan to ride 40 miles tomorrow has been dampened (hahaha) by all the rain we’ve had yesterday and today.  He decided this year to celebrate by going for a 40 mile ride and adding another mile each year.  Good way to approach a birthday like this one, I think.  Celebrate all that makes you ‘you’!    Maybe on my birthday, I’ll do scrapbook pages instead.  I’ve still got a few years until I need to start planning something special to celebrate 40, though, so we’ll have to wait and see.  We got to start celebrating last weekend when everyone was together for Easter.  And so far this has been the yellow birthday – all the presents he’s received have had a yellow focus.  New running shoes – yellow soles; new yellow t-shirt; yellow cards in every envelope!  Very odd, but also very yellow.  So, for the big day tomorrow – yellow cake w/chocolate frosting at our house! 

This week/weekend, we’ll keep the focus yellow, but next week, it’s turning to GREEN again!  Earth Day’s coming & we’re definitely all about green at Little Monkeys!  More info to come…

It turns out I didn’t just ‘injure’ my thumb, I actually have a small fracture at the joint.  It took a long time to figure out there was more to the pain than the regular part of life kind of bumps and bruises.  One of those things that, when you finally DO think things through, brings the obvious Homer Simpson “doh!” response.   So, having to take it easy when I can – ha!  Anyway, just a quick update since I’d blogging more frequently and everything.  Still lots to say, just trying to use my mouth a bit more instead of the keyboard.  Don’t worry, I’ll be back for some fun shortly!

Since this is the time of year when thoughts turn to organizing, decluttering & general Spring cleaning, we’re going to help out a little with FREE SHIPPING on ALL orders during the month of April!  It’s all set up on the new Little Monkeys Shop, so no need for you to do anything.  If you haven’t swung by to check out the new shop, be sure to do so.  Lots of improvements and added features, some of which will come in handy to you & me down the road.    Also, with the new shop, the $15 discount off orders totaling $100 or more is applied automatically to your order.  No codes, no rebates – SO COOL!!
