  • Migrate your Etsy Shop to your own website


    Etsy recently hit sellers with a 30% fee increase on sales, not including the processing fees, listing fees, platform store fee, and marketing fees (opt-in) they charge. They are taking quite a cut from indie sellers! They do provide a nice service and a built-in community. But indie sellers that have their own social following…

    It is warm enough again to take Charlie on daily walks in the woods, which I’m excited about. I’m glad to be able to introduce him to nature early. We saw a couple of robins this week. Apparently not all robins migrate, but I haven’t seen others this winter, so I’m taking this sighting as…

    Thoughts Charlie turned six months this week! He is growing so quickly and gaining a lot of core strength and coordination. I bet he’ll be crawling in the next month. Public education suffers from many things, chief amongst them is the complete lack of autonomy most students face for the majority of their childhood. The…
