This school year is the start of a new adventure for me.
You see, BOTH my children will be in school all-day-long! Sniff! Sniff!
I have mixed feelings about this. Part of me is excited for this very new phase in life. I can remember when both of my kids were babies (pretty much at the same time) and thinking to myself on those "hard" days.....boy, what will life be like when they are off to school. Just having a moment to myself back then was such a rare thing....that, at times, I looked forward to.
But just like that, in a blink of an eye....here we are!
And I want to go back!
I have enjoyed being home with my kids....and I'm so grateful that we made the decision to and were financially able to do that. It's really been a true blessing to have that time with my kiddos!
But....as they go off to a new all-day adventure......I was a little worried about what I was going to do with all my time. Sure, I'll be volunteering at their school, attending bible study, hitting the gym, & keeping up with the house....but a girl can only "clean" so much, right?!
So I'm going back to work part-time! Yeah me!
I was approached back in April from a friend at church. She was super excited to tell me about a business she was thinking about opening. Her passion for the business just beamed out of her....and totally got me excited for her! But honestly, even with all her excitement, in the back of my head I thought...."This isn't going to happen overnight.....this is going to take awhile for this to all come together." That's where I was wrong.
Everything has fallen into place for Janice. She is opening up her new bridal business in just a few weeks. Her vision is coming together and
Adore Bridal & Specialty is opening the beginning of September!
Janice asked if I would want to be her organizational guru. The person who handles all the shipping/receiving, bills, appointment, all the stuff she doesn't like to do, but knew I did! (Can you just see all the labels I could make for this place!) And the best part is is that she is totally working around me and my number one priority...Maggie & Max. I will be only working 15 hours a week and only while my kiddos are in school. That way I can be there with them in the morning and most importantly...I will still be able to pick them up after school. It's really a win-win for everyone.
I get to find out who "Traci" is again...instead of just being Maggie & Max's mom. I get to get out a little and be with adults....most should be happy (brides are happy people, right?!), working in a faith-based business. Oh, and a little extra cash won't hurt either!
Let the adventure begin!
