Currently trying to deep breathe my way out of climate anxiety as I catch up on global weather events - how do you raise climate resistant children? Why did I do this to them? Why is the day to day so normal?

Brick and Mortar is my friend because I forget to order things online and it’s Christmas Eve and I need to print signage for Boxing Day and my toner is dead.

But also my credit card is maxed out so online shopping isn’t an option. We have money but moving it from the bank to the card will take time.

Cheers to those of us who don’t have our s**t together to order online.

Officially just waiting to go home 😴
Destination shopping vibes sometimes drag on…
The season has been okay. Could be better.

Sometimes customers ask me why aren’t you busier? These prices are amazing. and all I got is your guess is as good as mine 🤷‍♀️

I’m gonna say it - I don’t think City heard the community.

They consulted us - but they didn’t really hear what was said. They asked us what we wanted - and low key ignored it. I’m so glad we spent all that money to just keep it the same.

There’s no way the anti worker sentiment is anything other than internet bots - that’s my Monday morning conclusion because what the actually f**k.

Someone told me people don’t need more than 3 weeks vacation; and others don’t believe wages should increase with inflation; and some insist that benefits should somehow mean people don’t need a liveable take home wage

These cannot be real people.
That is my conclusion.

Real people have compassion. Real people want other people to succeed.

Tbh. The fight against stains in your kids clothing has now become a side hobby of things I do in my downtime - I’m not very good at downtime.

This week is tackling yellow stains in baby onesies. And I ordered more things for a few other stains I know I can defeat.

It should be noted that I do not and have not ever stain treated my own clothing because it’s not fun when it’s your chore for existing. It’s only fun when it’s someone else’s

Ordering Winter 2025 - people want choices so it’s trying to find that nice little balance of ordering everything but also not everything because you can’t afford everything you can’t sell everything.

It’s also thinking about whether or not you want to order those products you didn’t have this year or if you just wanna leave those for the Internet .

and it’s trying to guess how fast people’s kids are gonna grow and if they need snow suits or not this year and I think that’s one thing this year you know people tend to buy a snow jacket every other year so I should look at the data from two years ago and had two years of growth

But for serious, probably overthinking this and just need to hit submit one actually three orders in for next year couple more to go

Current mantra.

This is the next five year goal - to figure out how to grow the business enough to double our space and thus our rent.

Sometimes I wonder if that’s even possible to regularly gurn $50k a month as a small shop in children’s in a rather isolated community of 80,000.

For serious - I look at some of the big shops in town and I just go, hot dang - how do they make rent and payroll each month 🤣

Weather makes for sleepy quiet days in the shop; all things considered, we are going to be okay 👌

Small shop owners who want you to make sustainable shopping choices but it’s also Black Friday and they have too much inventory and need it to find homes so they can have money to pay the people we need to pay 😖
