Book Review
Motivating Mum
Just found the book review I did for Motivating Mum. I was trying to decide if it was worth it turning my hobby into a business.
Now that I think about it more with a 3 yr old at kinder and a two week old that needs me 24/7 I am glad I didn't turn my hobby into a business. If I accepted an order at the moment there is no guarantee that I'd be able to complete it by the deadline required or to the standard the customer would expect. It would not feel right to send off someone's order that wasn't to the same standard as items I've made previously.
At the moment I am taking a break from my hobby and enjoying cuddles with my two week old daughter while trying to spend as much time as possible with the three year old as well. All she seems to see at the moment is Mummy feeding her sister and I can't wait to be able to do more things with both of them, take them to the Zoo etc and watch Miss M teach her little sister about all the animals that she loves.
I'll still be monitoring the blog and the Facebook page but won't be updating either of them as much for a few weeks until I adjust to the new phase of my life being a Mum to TWO gorgeous princesses who inspire me every day.
Thanks for reading.
