Thanks Purple Tree Photography for a Spooktactular Halloween!


Hopefully you joined the hundreds of families that came downtown to trick-or-treat this past Sunday ~ if not this is a great event to remember for next year! This year we joined up with my favorite children's photographer...once again...Purple Tree Photography to capture the little goblins in their costumes. This was a very successful in-store event ~ take a look at some of the adorable photos ~ thanks Kelli!!

Mom. Business Owner. Maternity leave.

In my world A+B does not equal C. So if you've been in the store recently, you might've seen me back at the store - or even luckier to have met Ruby! The irony of all this is that if you asked me what my inspiration was for opening the store I would tell you its to be able to have more time to be a mom. Being back to work 10 days after giving birth does not sound like it, but in a very strange way it does work out that way! I'm thankful for the help I can get whenever I can get it - there's Dana, who is here a couple days a week, a good friend of ours Candi works Saturdays when she can & then there's my mom who works so her little girl dosen't have to.

Or maybe you have been unlucky and came to the store during normal hours only to find us closed. We're moms juggling our schedules with preschool, daycare, dads working Saturdays & a newborn's feeding times. So yes, some days we may not be opening promptly or closing a bit early & I apologize for that. I promise that things will get back to "normal" in a few months. As moms - or if you're soon to be a mom - I hope you understand & thank you for your patience.
