I confess, I've been in a bit of hiding. This summer was just incredibly overwhelming with life and I honestly just couldn't help taking the time to soak in the glory of it with the kids. We had a great summer, and I'm more in love with my munchkins than ever.
Over the summer I had to take a good look at what I want for my family regarding this business. I had so many opportunities thrown at me for wholesale, retail, drop ship.... things started to get away from me as I worried if I would regret missing out on the chance at a 'real' big business. We looked at hiring people, and getting an office space even.
Then suddenly it hit me that I was charging ahead and it wasn't the way I wanted. I don't want to be a boss. I don't want to have an office which requires me to leave my children. The whole POINT of this is to bless other mommas with gorgeous baby wear, and to give me enough of a small income that I can be the mom I chose to be. And that is at home with my kids.
So I put on the brakes. I spent July through September focusing on us. I still took orders as they came and they were completely adequate. Lani, who is still hoping to work with me, is now pregnant and blessed with the lovely joys of morning sickness and fatigue. So she was perfectly happy to have everything on pause.
So, now it's October. I feel rested. I've finalized the changes I want to make to the Sugar Tai (it's going to knock your socks off!) and I've found some peace in where I'm at. I think now we are ready. I've got the horse back in front of the cart and I feel like I'm back in control of where this is going.
I do expect that we will do some wholesale accounts (if you are reading this feel free to email me about that). I have found a few talented seamstresses whou could use some extra income in their families and I am happy to be able to include them in our little crew. I have new designs that I'm holding back because I don't want to get overwhelmed again so keep looking. The adventure has just begun!
