7 Years of Our Little Makery: Our Little Family Business
It's called Our Little Makery because it's our little family business!
This month OLM turns 7 years old and it feels like yesterday when I started but it also feels like it's been 20 years.
My family is at the heart of everything I do and my 3 children are my everything.
This time of year means long days, late nights and early mornings! It means 7 days a week for weeks on end. And yet they always smile, offer to help and are so incredibly proud to be at holiday markets.
My son is the shy one who knows every single design my heart and where its spot is. My girls are the bosses of the booth and what to fully run it on their own. They take over and talk to customers all the time.
I think they just love being able to go behind the scenes with their vendor badges lol.
They never complain about our business and they love being a huge part of it.
I love raising my kids this way. It has its ups and downs and it's not for everyone, but my kids seem to flourish within it.
Thank you for supporting OLM for 7 years and for embracing my whole Family!
