You know that feeling when you realize that growth is inevitable, but you secretly wish it could hold off for just a little while longer? Like, maybe six months? Or a year? Yeah, that's where I'm at.
Who would have guessed that the products I originally created for my own family would become a must-have for others as well? It's crazy to think that the sunscreen I used to hand out in baggies by the pool a decade ago is now in such high demand.
Here I am, surrounded by Bluey characters, art supplies, and laundry that needs to be put away, labeling and packing orders. It's a chaotic scene, but I feel incredibly grateful and a little bit humbled.
Every night, I find myself wondering if I've done enough with my kids. Was that walk we took together enough? Was the story I read to them exciting enough? Will they remember the effort we put into making healthy meals? And let's not forget the days when I had to channel my inner Chilli from Bluey while juggling conversations with my 7 year old and business tasks and filling orders. Or that phone call that my college kid probably needed, or that moment today when I didn’t get time to connect with my teen. It’s HARD, this mama stuff. You know, and I know that babies don’t keep. It's a never-ending balancing act, but it's also a blessing.
As I gaze at the stack of sunscreen, I can't help but hope it lasts the whole week. But let's be real, it probably won't - and that's a good thing.
Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a vital part of our company. We're excited to continue growing with you. 💛
