In the meantime, there is a change to Mumatopia’s website that I’d like to update you on. I have made the difficult decision to close my online shop.

[...]
We are putting the finishing touches on preparations for tomorrow’s Mumatopia launch and boutique market. I am madly baking away. Nicole just came over and turned my mop into a work of art (my hair that is) and the kids are sneaking treats from the fridge. Hopefully they won’t sneak too many as we’ll need [...]
