On a mission

I've been put on a mission today by a very smart woman. I've asked her for advice & help to get my butt into gear to help you all have an enjoying shopping experience this year. I hadnt worked out any sales or specials, and way behind in ordering my stock for you all. She's a whip craker this lady, but its exactly what I need right now. Being your own boss sometimes is hard work. Staying motivated and desciplined is even harder (hence why I still havent managed to lose the last 5kgs of baby weight)

I get stuck sometimes, I'm not always sure what you want. Im not sure what you can get elsewhere. I guess I'm a people pleaser sometimes, and I hate getting things wrong.So I've been in a bit of a business rut. Then I see other similar businesses who seem to be going great guns, yep then I'm like oh why do I try and compete? Well I do it cause babies are beautiful, finding new  and helpful prouducts is exciting, and the thrill of achieving something is priceless.

I'm busy busy today sourcing new products, placing some orders and doing my plan for the countdown till Christmas. Yes its only 6 weeks away. I still dont know what I'm doing for xmas, staying local, or travelling to see my family. We tend to alternate from year to year, but last year after having only just given birth to Fox I wasnt keen to travel. I am however looking forward to setting up the tree which we do on December 1st (long running family tradition)

So am I going to be on the mark and order what you all want? You could always email me and tell me what you're after (is that lazy of me? probably:) I must admit I've lost a bit of my ''édge'' and confidence with this Business stuff. Having a shop front is one thing, but online is a whole other kettle of fish. I cant see you to find out your needs, or help you how Id like. But it's not about me so tell me about you!

Oh and hubby is on a mission. He's got some secret squirrel business going on. He's ''making'' stuff for me to sell. Hmnn, interesting..

Id really love for you all to give me some feedback.. What would you like to see more of? more toys, more decor, more gifts for mum ( I know some of you will say I need more clothing, but really, if you saw the tubs upon tubs of kids clothing in my shed you might change your mind. There's ALOT there)

Alrighty, kids are needing an arvo snack, so I better not disappoint them.

Welcome!

Hello There! Yes you!
I am no expert, I'm a mum just like you doing her best to raise 2 active boys while maintaining a home, a part time job and running a business (all with the help of my wonderful & very patient husband)

This blog isn't about trying to sell you stuff
(though at times I just cant help but tell you about goodies I use at home myself) It's about my life, my challenges with both family life and business and how I attempt to make it all work!

I look forward to you sharing the journey- and would love you to share your journey along the way too! I hope to also share with you helpful blogs and businesses that I've found and love!
