This made me smile.

I found this information flipping through the Costco Connection Magazine for small business owners. It kind of made my day.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for having a lack of imagination and good ideas.

Thomas Edison's teachers said that he was too stupid to learn anything.

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4 or read until he was 7 and was eventually expelled from school.

Notes from Fred Astaire's first screen test read, "Can't act. Can't sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little."

Surprise!

So much has happened in the last few months. immediately following my last blog Sophie started a new preschool, we had three sets of family visit, we moved and then we found out we were pregnant (surprise!). We of course told all of our family and friends through a series of phone calls, text messages and then followed up with a personal Facebook post just to cover our bases. But when it came time to tell my customers I was a little stumped. I feel like so many of you are my friends and I want to share this news with you. But announcing something like that on my website/fb page just feels weird. Just like it feels weird posting photos of Sophie which is why I rarely do. I don't really know the protocol here. So instead I'm going the round about way and blogging it. This is my safe place and I know only the customers I'm closest with will actually read it.

I'll admit that we were a bit shocked. Greg and I have known for awhile that no time was going to be the perfect time for us to grow our family. So instead of trying to plan it we gave it to God at the beginning of the year. And with each month since our life has gotten more chaotic. So imagine my surprise when God chose now to multiply us, right when I already felt like I was drowning. But isn't that when God works the best? Just when your convinced you can't possibly take on any more he asks you to let go and surrender. I realize now that this is probably the best thing that can happen to me. The business has gotten to the point that I can no longer do it all. It's time to hire help and start delegating. Something that has always been hard for me. But now I have to, especially if I want to keep growing and not drive my family insane. I'm so blessed to have my husband and my Mom to help me do this. It's absolutely a family business now and I can't wait to see where the next year leads us. Baby is due in March, so it's time to get to work!
