Mills' version of "rock star"...


Mommy and her pal Jen
have been living a dream~
They decided last spring to
work together to launch
a line of tees for tots
called Oh Fiddlesticks!
(check out their blog...)

It has been a whirlwind adventure
for the dynamic duo until
recently when they were hit with
the news that the government had
passed an act to regulate the amount
of lead and other chemicals in
products intended for children age 12 and under.

At first this seemed like a grand idea~
but wait there is a catch...
Handmade products like mommy's
will have to undergo rigorous testing
to "proove" they are either lead free or
meet the minimum requirements.
Not only will this hurt mommy and Jen's
new business, but countless others like
our friends at Me and My Peeps Books,
Kandle Kidswear, and all the sellers of
children's products on the beloved site Etsy...

Mommy wanted to pass on
this link from Bloesom Kids.
We are both urging you to write your
congress person today regarding this act.
Please help us save handmade!
Merci Beaucoup!!!

Paisley - It was wonderful to see you today! Callen loved playing with you. You'll have to come over and play at our house sometime! And wow, I can't believe you are almost 2!

I also took a few minutes to sign the petition to support your mommy. Have a great day!
