Monkey Toes

Yesterday, I took my 2-year-old twins shoe-shopping WITHOUT the stroller. BIG mistake. At first, they were pretty well-behaved and stayed close to me thanks to the kiddie leashes I had. But the A/C was out in the store, so it was hot. They looked at the really sparkly shoes and those with Dora. But for some reason, my little girl did not want to try on ANY shoes at all, even though she was so excited to go to the shoe store. All she has that fits her are 2 pairs of Crocs. So, she needs shoes! She had a full-blown tantrum and after I paid and wrangled them up to the car, I was exhausted. This morning when she woke up, she wanted to put on her new shoes. You never know what the day will be like for her. Can't wait til she's a teenager!

In my search for shoes for her, I came across this website called Monkey Toes with hand-painted shoes for kids. They are TOO CUTE. I'm impressed at their prices since they are each individually hand-painted like pieces of art! They are so cute that I'm not sure which ones to get. I'm thinking the Little Ladies or Flutterflies. Love those curly shoelaces! Decisions, decisions...

Back with a New Look!

I've been a busy little bee this summer- taking care of my 2-year-old twins is hectic, but I've also given cayennepaper.com a COMPLETE makeover! Gone are the days of my homemade site that I made completely by myself without any training whatsoever. It was difficult to navigate as there really wasn't great navigation or organization to it. Plus I only accepted Paypal, which I know scared off a few customers or so. Well, I now have a new webhosting service (www.merchantmoms.com) which is fantastic and so far, things have been great with them. You can view things much easier, search the entire site more thoroughly and even use your credit card to pay! That's right- I now take Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Discover!

To celebrate my grand re-opening, I'm offering a 10% discount on all orders placed until August 31. Simply enter code blog10 to receive this special offer. Have fun shopping!
