Productive first days work👍

Not bad for a first day of trading.....more than doubled our likes, received orders, delivered 1st order, had our first review and a bespoke order question. It's tiring being a business woman at age 11😂. Oh and I baked some cakes with my sister which mum said we're scrummy! Lol! Night everyone 💤 🛌

During Lockdown, my daughter has taught herself Crochet (she's 11), I wouldn't even know how to pick up a crochet needle, proud mum🥰.

Now that she has still not returned to school we have decided to turn it into a learning opportunity!! She is trying to sell them, has figured out the cost, time it took to make, how much she needs to make to break even and make a little pocket money and will donate 10% of her profit to a local food Bank. Please like and share her page. Many thanks.

Some cute little Christmas novelties and gifts and profit goes to charity helping to fund so much valuable research.. (Link in comments below)

Abbie's Army merchandise is available to buy from Ebay. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of every item comes back directly to the charity.

The shared post really nails it for me😢.

We are forever telling our children to get off of their technology and then as an adult on them constantly. Please spare a thought for those working really hard to support themselves and their families by running their own business, where there is no cut off time and high expectations. We find it really really hard to get that work/life balance. Please dont judge us if we don't respond within minutes, we will get back to you within a day or 2 max, we promise. We just may be cooking or eating dinner with our family, playing swing ball in the garden, reading a bedtime story to our youngest little one, having a cuppa with our mums or even chatting to our other half!

You are very important to us, but so are our families too, for I just blinked and I have a teenager in the house, thats how quick it all goes!

Thank you for reading and understanding😉

Good morning all ! I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend.

I just wanted to write a polite note to all my customers...

I wanted to share this note I received from my daughter over the weekend. It saddened me and hit me hard. Whilst my working hours are 9am-2:30pm Mon-Fri, my working hours never really stop as I find myself answering enquires, advertising after my little one is in bed etc. After this note I received, I have made a decision to only answer enquiries during working hours only. My staff members are also mummies with families. They will do the same. So if you do send us a message outside of these hours, please be patient. We WILL respond to you within 1-2 working days. But please understand that our families come first.

I am a single mummy with a 7 year old daughter. I run my home, personal life, do the food shop, cook dinner blah blah blah all on my own. My life is hectic. I break down on a regular basis but put on a brace face. This is me being honest. Hats off to all parents to be honest.

I value each and every one of you lovely lot, without you, we wouldn’t have a roof over our heads. This isn’t a ‘feel sorry for me’ post. Far from it. I just wanted to be open and honest that I am only human and there’s only so much I can do in a day. I need my mummy rest too 🙂

Have a lovely day 😘 xx

Its on this bright and breezy Sunday Afternoon and with a heavy heart, I announce that All Star Kids will be closing at the end of March. This is not a negative time, just a time to change direction.

We have had a blast, I have personally cared for some amazing little people that are growing fast, met some amazing practitioners and made some life long friends. All Star Kids has delivered Childminding services, provided Creches supporting some amazing groups and projects, facilitated craft sessions at local attractions and community events we can be proud of. I could not have done it without the most amazing, hard working, committed and funny team around me or the support of my partner and growing family but now, that family need a different me, a me that can committ to them wholly as they grow and businesses change. I am not sad, rather very excited by what could be round the next corner. I am forever thankful for the opportunities afforded to All Star Kids.

So for the last event, my 10 year old daughter is taking hold of the remaining resources and designing her own craft bags to sell in order to earn her own money towards something she is saving for. If, all I have achieved over the last 10 years is to inspire my children in some way, that is job done in my mind! Keep watching this space she is, as we speak, taking notes, making samples and pricing her crafts. We will post pics soon!

Thank you, one and all. Esther, 😘

The CLC centre offer so much to our community perhaps we can now give them a little help in return.

If anyone is able to spare 1/2 hour, an hour or as much time as you can it would be most appreciated. We will be there from 2pm.

Looking forward to this 🤓
