I would like to apologize for being such a horrible blogger. After beginning my journey into blogging I was immediately hit with the Joys (and rush) of the holiday season. I finished all of my Halloween costume orders just in time for my customers to strut their stuff in them while out Trick-or-Treating. What a relief, I honestly didn't think I would make it in time. Next up, Thanksgiving. The hubby was working ALL THE TIME....which left me taking care of the kids, house, school activities, and of course Doodlebug Tutu's. When will I ever get a break. NOT TODAY! LOL Thanksgiving quickly approached us and the weekend following, Robbie's (my hubby) grandmother passed away. With all that was going on I made the decision to temporarily shut down Doodlebug Tutu's....Thinking I would get a break, and be able to spend some quality time with my family. No way was that going to work out. Just days before Christmas the dreaded stomach bug hit me....I know, Merry Christmas, right. Ugh. Needless to say, the bug spread like wild fire and before I knew it my hubby and 2 kids had the mess too. For 2 weeks that horrible bug made it's way through my family, and of course hit me again in the end. Guess it thought I needed extra punishment since I started it and my family suffered because of it. Well, January soon arrived and I was ready to get back in the swing of things with the business. No sooner than I let my customers know, "I'm back"....Robbie's uncle passed away causing me to postpone the reopening. My family needed me, what else could I do. We took some time, and spent it surrounded by family and friends.
Mid-January was the begin of Layla's first adventure in selling Girl Scout Cookies. Every weekend for about 2 months, we worked cookie booths, went door-to-door, and did all we could to sell sell sell. All that hard work paid off...Layla was recently acknowledged for being the top seller of cookies in our County. She sold a grand total of 1,450 boxes of cookies. Way to go baby girl.
Okay, so now you're thinking.....Everything is calmed down and she can get back to work....Not quite. First time I announced my second attempt to reopen....I got hit yet again with the stomach bug. I swear that evil bug is out to kill me. Luckily it wasn't as bad as the first time around. Now that I am feeling better, and although I am still VERY busy with end of the year school events, soccer (2 kids = 2 teams), girl scouts, and of course maintaining a happy home...I am FINALLY back to work on my business. I couldn't be happier with my life. The kids are well, the hubby is great and all in all I am thrilled with what I call...."My Crazy Busy Life"! Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
I am back and hopefully I can keep up this time around. Wish me luck.....And happy reading. :o)
