“I hope there is nothing my children see in me that customers don't see in me because my goal with my shop and my customers is to create an extended family. I want my customers to see my shop as an extension of their home and us as extended family. I want my shop to be a place where they can come to relax and feel calm and come and tell me about their family (the good and the bad), they can come to share their joys and worries, their laughter and tears, we are more than just a retail space; that is my hope. I hope my customers will come to see me as more than just the shop owner and see me as a friend and family because I don't just see them as customers, I worry about them when they have not been in for a while, or if they are not feeling well. I rejoice in their new family members being born, celebrate their graduations, love to see their creations, feel their worries. To me they are family.

My children are grown, but I hope they learn from watching me open this business that it is never too late! You are never too old to make your dream a reality! That even when things feel really heavy and days seem very dark, you have the strength within you to pull yourself up and fulfil your dream NEVER GIVE UP!”

This campaign represents a vibrant group of women and mothers who are part of downtown but does not represent every single business owner. We also understand that the influence of "mom" shows up in many ways-including mentors, role models, extended family and the women who support and inspire these journeys behind the scenes. The stories you'll see over the coming days are from those who were able to participate within our timeframe, and we're so grateful for their willingness to share. We look forward to continuing to highlight more of the incredible women of Main Street in the future!

"For over 25 years, I poured my heart into the florist industry, but my love for cooking was always growing. Eventually, I realized it wasn't just a passion, it was part of who l am.

So, I took a leap of faith and created something that holds both pieces of my heart: Cassie's on Wall Street—a place where flowers and food come together, just like family and community.

Choosing downtown for my business location felt natural. There's something special about downtown—the familiar faces, and the sense of community and that everyone is like family.

More than anything, I hope my children look at this journey and see courage. I hope they see that it's never too late to believe in yourself, to start over, and to take a chance on yourself and what makes you happy. I hope they see that everything I do, I do for them.”

"For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of owning my own store. At first, that dream looked like a women's boutique but motherhood has a way of reshaping everything, and after having children, my passion began to shift. Then, after losing my son Charlie, that shift became a calling. I knew my store had to be more than just a place to shop—it had to be a space that could help educate and support families in choosing safer products for their homes, their babies and their children. That purpose is what brought Charlies to life. Guided by a deep commitment to care, the shop is named in honor of my firstborn, Charlie, carrying forward his memory through every thoughtfully chosen product-each one meeting the highest standards of safety and quality. His legacy lives in this space, creating a place where families can shop with trust, comtort, and connection—knowing that satety and love always come first.

One hard truth about running a business while raising a family that people don't often talk about is the guilt. Some days you have to show up for your business, and you will worry what you are missing at home, other days you are at your child's extracurriculars and worry that you are neglecting your business. Luckily, I have an amazing support system that helps me to manage both."

Introducing Downtown Calhoun's "Mothers of Main Street" campaign🌸

Behind every door on Main Street, there’s a story—of early mornings, long days, and hearts poured into both business and family. So many of these stories belong to incredible women who are not only entrepreneurs, but mothers—raising children, caring for their families, lifting others up, and quietly shaping the spirit of our downtown in ways big and small.

We also recognize that motherhood and maternal influence take many forms. This campaign is meant to celebrate not only biological mothers, but the many women who encourage, guide, and support others while leading in business and in our community.

From now until Mother’s Day, we’ll be spotlighting one to two different women and their businesses each day— celebrating the women behind the businesses you know and love, and the lives they’re nurturing both inside and outside their storefronts.

Each one is a reminder that Main Street is more than a place—it’s a community built on care, resilience, and connection.

We are deeply grateful to Andy Baxter for sharing his incredible talent with this campaign. As a dedicated board member of the DDA, Andy generously carved out time from his busy schedule to volunteer his photography, bringing our vision to life in a truly meaningful way. His creativity and commitment have made a lasting impact, and we sincerely appreciate his support.

Join us as we celebrate these mothers, these business owners, and these everyday builders of something truly special.
