Cheers to the Fricken Weekend

As if I'm not busy enough starting a business I decided to get a Hobby Jobby I call it. It's a part time job I took at a local grocery store to design handwritten signs and posters to be displayed throughout the store. Sort of like Trader Joe's sign artists, but I do not believe chalk will be my medium, I think it will be oil pastels.  It's an entry level position I was offered to work with the marketing department and I could barely contain my excitement! I happily accepted the position and look forward to orientation Monday then being able to telecommute. Being able to have a creative outlet for my talent and be compensated nicely for it feels rewarding.  That means tomorrow night we are going out to celebrate our business launching to social media sites and celebrate my new Hobby Jobby! Goes to show you if you work hard enough at a dream it can become a reality! Till next time...

From Babies to...Business?!

I'm an  entreprenuer at heart & I always knew I was destined to run my own business someday, but in what I wondered? Well wonder no more! I am proud to announce I am now the Owner/CMO or Chief Marketing Officer of a mobile food truck in Wisconsin! Since marketing, social media, graphic design, and being creative is my cup of tea it was a no brainer what tasks were going to be assigned to me. I'm honestly not sure how I am going to fall asleep with all the excitement and ideas swirling about in my head. We plan to serve fresh, homestyle comfort foods the way Mom makes it because it is Mom making it! It feels great to have something to call my own and know I have the hardest working, most trusthworthy and honest partners by my side through this journey we are embarking on.

We are so excited and busy getting
  our Servsafe certification completed, remodeling the interior to conform to Wisconsin codes & health specifications, purchasing proper licensing & permits, and perfecting our business model. I know this will more than occupy my time indefinitely and I am so ready to make some cha-ching & meet some amazing people!
DH & I have not sworn off a little one joining our family this year even with starting a new business. Life is what you make of it and I'm ready to take control no matter what I have going on. God will never give you more than you cannot handle so no matter what obstacles come our way I know we will overcome. I am still keeping an eye out for amazing deals on baby stuff and we actually have a pretty good start on our nursery. Anyways wish us luck , not that luck has anything to do with putting in hard work, but it doesnt hurt to have some more positive chain of events in the near future. Hehehe :) THANK YOU!

Big Fat Negative

Still negative. I think I am concentrating too much on wanting this to happen that I'm not following my own advice of just letting things happen. I was a little sad, but realize it doesn't always happen on the first try. Next time I comment on the topic I hope it is to share my "BFP" or Big Fat Positive with you.
