While in college, I spent four years meeting deadlines, doing projects, and studying at all hours of the night in hopes that I would fulfill my goal of becoming an executive in corporate America. It was exhausting but at the end of the day, I felt it was worth it and what I was meant to do. Graduation came and so did an entry level job that seemed promising. I got married to the love of my life John and shortly after we found out that we were expecting our daughter Logan. Life seemed to be working out just as planned.
I worked the entire nine months and at the time had not one thought of staying at home with Logan for fear that it may hinder my ability to advance. I would return six weeks after she was born and my Mother would be her caretaker while I worked. The moment that Logan came into this world, my priorities changed. In that moment, when I went from being Adrian to being a Mother, I knew that my life was meant to be spent with my little girl. I realized that my heart was not in the corporate world. My heart was with this precious little girl and being with her. I became a stay at home Mom in August 2010.
Dreams are different than goals; they don't have deadlines. I had always had a dream of starting my own business. It was one of those things that you think about and then you say maybe when I retire or maybe later in life and kind of throw to the back of your mind because it doesn't seem feasible at the time. The dream resurfaced while at home with Logan. I realized that I could do this business from home which would allow me to still be with my sweet Logan. With the support of my family and my wonderful husband who stands behind me 110% I started my business in October 2010.
"Above all be true to yourself, and if you can not put your heart in it, take yourself out of it."
-Hardy D, Jackson
I love it when you find a quote that you can relate to. It seems to put a form of tangibility to your emotions. It is unbelievable to watch your dream become a reality. I couldn't put my heart into the corporate world, so I took myself out of it. I was true to myself and admitted that it just wasn't for me. My business is my passion and I am putting my heart into it's success. I want to provide beautiful attire and accessories for little blessings like my Logan.
My blog will consists of tidbits from my life, happenings at my business, and I will also insert tutorials for crafts, articles of interest, and websites that might interest you along the way. I hope you enjoy my collection, blog, and my adventures of becoming a new business owner and a Mom. God Bless You!
