Greetings everyone!

I hope all in the northern hemisphere are enjoying "The Dog Days" of summer. (Personally I love dogs, and I love summer! I also love the sound of thunderstorms, but could do without my basement apartment repeatedly flooding).

I feel as though this week I have *finally* got my bearings, juggling the mom stuff, multi-tasking, enforcing routines, working through naps, etc. I have often wondered how some folks can manage 4+ kids when I can barely manage one baby, but then I realized that the steepest transition is from "not parent" to "parent" and you retain that knowledge for subsequent additions (and adapt to less than 5 hours' sleep). Of course, Murphy's Law will ensure that my bub will probably cut a tooth or have a sleep regression or otherwise throw an adorable wrench into the routine within the week (and that's okay).

This week my VA and I are chipping away at updating the Corsetiere Map (we have almost 50 new corset makers to add!) and that will hopefully be ready by next week. 

On social media, the theme for August is "hacks" so join my Facebook if you'd like to get a refresher on different tips and tricks for rethreading your corsets in half the time, lacing up your corset easily, and fitting it flawlessly. 💖
