F.A.Q.s: An Update

It has been well over a year since we did our Buttermilk Bake Shop FAQs, and they are begging for an update.  So here it is, with fresh changes.

Q:  What is your packaging like?

A:  Our treats are packaged in cellophane bags, tied with jute baker’s twine and a label.  It is simple, and I am a fan of simple.

 

Q:  Can I include a note with my order?

A:  Please do!  Just let us know what you would like it to say, and we will include a very cute card with your order.

 

Q:  Where can I get your tasty treats?

A:  For now, we only sell them though etsy.  If you live in the Chicago Fairfield County Connecticut area, we offer pick up and delivery.  We also offer a more extensive menu, which changes monthly.  {It has a number of things that do not ship well, like cake & scones.}

 

Q:  I have come to this blog looking to satisfy me sweet tooth, and all I hear about is 'Baby this & Harper that.'  What is up with that?

A:  I like my baby babies.

 

Q:  Why does your baby eat dirt?

A:  (O.k.  So, no one really asks me some of these questions.)  Dirt is good for you.  The New York Times said it, so I believe it.

 

Q:  Why was Harper always eating dirt when she was itty bitty, but Casey is spick and span?

A:  Harper won’t let the baby eat dirt.  Hypocrite, I know.

 

Q:  Are you making pocket and pockets full of money on etsy?

A:  Yes.  But they are Barbie sized pockets.

 

Q:  When are you moving to Connecticut?

A:  The end of June.

 

Q:  How do you find the time?

A:  Harper is on a very strict nap schedule, which we treated with total disregard today due to ANOTHER MOLAR.  She is a very happy toddler when she has predictable naps, and it makes me a very happy mama.  I learned today, again, that this is not to be questioned or toyed with.  Also, Skylar helps out tons, and we are very luck to have close friends who take care of Harper when things get too busy.

 My mom lives close by, Harper is in nursery school two mornings a week, the baby (fingers crossed) takes regular naps, Skylar helps out a ton, we have buddies to trade sitting with, I struggle with insomnia... so basically, there are pockets of time here and there.

 

Q:  How are you going to bake, blog, take care of the baby and pack and move?

A:  (Fingers in ears)  LA LA LALA LA

(This cracks me up, because as soon as we moved I got pregnant!  Then we moved again.  I thought I was busy then, HA-ha.)

 

F.A.Q.s: My Belly

Remember when my belly was so big, the people at Red Robin thought I could not fit in a booth?

Remember when Harper was an itty bitty tinny bit?  And, she couldn't squirm away from me while I posed her for fun pictures?

Well, in case you don't, we have decided to do it again.  That is right, I'm pregnant!  Which brings us to the Q & A portion of this post:

Frequently Asked Questions (about my expanding waistline)

Q:  When are you due?

A:  Mid March.  Considering Harper was two weeks late, I'm not putting much stock in my due date this time around.  As far as I can tell, Doctors just spin a wheal and pick a date, not unlike Wheal of Fortune.  More like, Wheal of When Your Baby Might Or Might Not Come into the World That We Picked So We Can Judge Your Weight Gain and Make You Feel Like a Fatty.

Q:  How are you feeling?

A:  Sleepy and emotional.  Let me clarify the sleepy part, I could sleep for days.  In fact,  it is an injustice that there are waking hours.  I have fallen asleep multiple times while watching Harper.   It is a bad scene.  This will pass very soon, though, and I will be in the crazy optimistic energetic nesting trimester before we know it.  Let's just hope Harper can take care of herself for a little bit longer.  

Q:  So, do you like puke all the time?

A:  No.  Gross.  I am thanking my luck stars that I don't have morning sickness.  Just like with Harper, I have thrown up once this pregnancy.  Occasionally, I get a tummy ache.  (I know the majority of mamas out there reading this now hate me.  Sorry.)

Q:  Are you finding out the gender?

A:  Yes.  ASAP.

Q:  How could you?  Is there no mystery left in this world?

A:  There is no mystery left in this world.  There is only google and wikipedia.

Q:  I bet you really want a boy, right?

A:  Um, well...  We'll be happy with either, but we do already have all the stuff for a girl.  Skylar, yes, is dying for a boy.  If it is a girl, she might end up in drag in Little League.  Watch out Connecticut!

Q:  Were you trying?

A:  I love when people ask this super personal question, for real!  We were not trying, but we were going to start trying the next month.  We were practicing.

Q:  Are you having any food cravings?

A:  HUMMUS, must have hummus.

That is all I can think of for now, but please feel free to add on anything I might have left out.
