Some Mondays just suck as a small business owner. But today? Today was filled with gratitude. Gratitude for how far we’ve come, and hope for how far we still plan to go. 💚
Filling orders with my son today I felt gratitude for the journey, for the people using our product, and for the fact that I get to build this alongside the people I love most.
Building a business is full of highs and lows. Yes, my kids have been there to see those rare, exciting days (receiving Walmart’s Golden Ticket 🎫!) where anything feels possible. But they’re also with me on the hard days. The discouraging days. The “I don’t know how we’ll get through this” days. I’ve had my fair share of those both in life and business.
What pleasantly surprises me most is how compassionate they are. They see the sacrifices and the late nights. They notice the stress, even when I try to hide it. And instead of resenting it, they value what we’re building. And hearing our two older kids articulate that is such a joy.
