    New Year's Resolutions: Tea Solutions

    First of all, Happy New Year! This first week of our 2020 has been fabulous: simple but meaningful.  We took a much-needed break as a family and stayed close to home enjoying each other's company and presence.  It was low-key and heavenly.  Lots of crafts, books, and about a million cups of tea kept us close and cozy.   I soaked up every minute I had with my children, and I'm so grateful for practicing unplugged, mindful time with them.And now, we begin our New Year.  Because if you're anything like me, the newness of life doesn't really kick in until the kiddos go...

    Confessions of a Momtreprenuer

    Motherhood is everything.  Difficult but fulfilling.  And owning/running a business is equally challenging yet rewarding.  Both require and insane amount work and energy.  Whether you are are career parent or stay-at-home, we all battle the juggle between accomplishing something and giving attention to our children.
