on a personal note


It has been a while since I had made a personal post so I thought I might do so now. I am approaching six months of being in business for myself this Friday! I can't even tell you what a ride it's been. So first and foremost I want to thank all my loyal patrons for helping support my little store...you guys are the best!
This past Tuesday we had below 0 temperatures here in Denver and I realized that I can make an executive decision, being the boss and all, and not go into work if the rest of Denver was closing down! It felt good to be the boss that day! So Eva and I stayed home, played in the snow, made hot cocoa, baked pumpkin raisin cookies, and just enjoyed being mommy and child. It was a great day! Now, getting back into the store after being shut down for two days was another thing. It just reminded me how much work I have ahead of me. There are times when I feel like there should be at least 36 hours in a day, there are times when all I can do is visualize this little store in 5 years and me sitting on a beach somewhere tropical... reaping all the benefits, and then there are times that I think "If I have to unpack another Melissa and Doug box I am going to scream!"
