Hello hello

      My name is Callie J. and this will be my very first blog post. That's me below back when I was still cool (at least I think I was).

      
      I started my college journey 12 years ago. After changing majors a number of times and taking a detour to massage school, I began again in 2008. I started with just one class to get my feet wet. Between then and now, I've had to put my college career on the back burner again and again. In 2009 I gave birth to a very unexpected surprise (we'll call her C). Just when I was getting back into my college groove, I found out I was pregnant with surprise number two (this one is Q). Besides my two children, I am working to build a small business called Homespun Lullabies. I currently sell children's blankets, clothes, and accessories on Etsy.com and am working on a new line of bags for a slightly older crowd. I have just been asked to feature my work at a brand new gallery opening! LuckyPie Gallery will be opening right in the middle of Lazy Daze in Cary, NC this Saturday the 25th of August. I am very excited and very scared all at the same time.

         With two little ladies, a part-time job, school, trying to maintain what's left of my social life, and trying to get my small business off the ground, I stay busy, but I wouldn't trade a second of it.
