I just love this community! I'm new to business ownership and I want to learn from other moms who are working and mothering. So if you have any advice, funny stories, or encouragement on the subjects of motherhood or business ownership would you P...

Is there a room in your house that you keep the cleanest? Looking around my always cluttered house and studio I realized that the only place that was clean and neat was my bathroom! Funny huh!? So I was wondering why, I mean I'm always cleaning! E...

One more thought--She was an only child who "never felt connected and attached". Obviously her mom didn't want a large family or she would have had more than one kid. And having siblings has nothing to do with attachment and connectedness. It has ...

She saved up for the procedures all by herself. From what I have understood she doesn't live with her parents but in a rent house (she pays them rent) that her mom owns. That said my opinion is--She has a very hard but rewarding job ahead of her. ...

Profile Information

About Me:
I thrive on beautiful things. I often tell my best sister "Let's go find something new, creative and beautiful."
From one mom to another, my words of wisdom are:
I'm too new a mom to say much! But what I have to remind myself every day is, "Husband and baby come first."
What makes you hybrid?
A hybrid is the mix of different things to make a new thing, right? I always wanted to be a mom, always wanted to be a wife, always wanted to be a dressmaker, always wanted to own several diverse businesses. I am the wife, to David who I wanted to marry since I was 15. I am the mom, to Colton our 2 month old. I am the dressmaker, and soon I will begin the first of the many businesses I want!

We've talked for years about him quitting and starting his own business in a new career. But the money was good as a plumber and we're a new… Continue

Those Toes!

Oh those toes!
I fell in love with those little toes the first time I saw 'em
Those little and perfect 'four knuckle' toes
I thought they were perfect but they aren't nubs
Those long little toes!

And now you've discovered those toes!
They are so much fun
To think that God said "I'll give them toes"
Those toes are perfect to eat
Those toes will balance their walk
Those toes will make everyone say how cute and perfect
Those tiny little toes

Oh those toes!
Attached to perfect little feet
Those li… Continue

Cold Sales Calls

When you were starting your business did you have to make cold sales calls? How did you handle it? Knowing my strong and weak points has made me stay away from outright 'selling', I'm a behind the scenes kind of person. After all, I know how important it is to have a great professional image everyday because you're always promoting your business which is a type of selling. But now I've decided to learn how to get a product out without passing it off to a salesgirl. I'm scared that when I get on… Continue

There's a reason why they call it the Christmas Spectacular. It truly is spectacular to see the Rockettes perform at Radio City, New York City. My biz partner, Terry, and I were invited with our families to meet and mingle with the Rockettes and S...
