Sunday, December 18This day drug on. I tried organizing the collabs that I want to work with in January, but I am relying on posting in my "close friends" stories on IG and it seems some of these ladies have a life and don't log on IG every single day. MUST BE NICE! So I'm going to have to post a second time and hope I catch more flies with... more IG stories. I'm doing a lot of research on moving Baby Bird and BHUB blogs onto a self hosted platform so I can monetize. I'm gaining a strategy on what to blog about for Baby Bird and featuring moms. I hope all these small ideas turn into more steady income for...
This week was on cruise control and I just tried my best. I spent most of this week producing NYE and prepping for my big surgery next week. Sunday, December 11I'm doing my best to find downtime but between actually selling stuff for once, prepping for a huge surgery and holiday and school junk, I'm lucky that I am getting to shower quickly each night around 1am. I got a few reels and tiktok videos drafted up and half of the NYE orders cut for tomorrow. Gonna call that a win and finish editing pics. 3.5hrs$0.00Monday, December 12Mondays just suck right now. I have physical therapy every single Monday at 8am. How could that be fun?! I have my pre-op appointment...
The next few weeks are going to be boring because I really don't have much planned besides prepping for semi-annual sale and strategizing for next year + pre-orders possibly. Sunday, December 4I'm just resending marketing stuff today and spending time sewing up the last few holiday orders. Trying to take my time and take many breaks. Walking around the house, going into Kaleb's room and hanging out with him. Usually, I'd rush and sew for hours and hours without stopping to eat, drink or move my body at all. Slow, slow progress. I am so thankful Friday's drop has brought me the tiniest sense of relief that's allowing me to be gentle with myself.4hrs$50.89Monday, December 5This week is going to be...
Sunday, November 27This just won't end. Each day I wake up this weekend and think, "okay, they'll like this sale more" Sundays are my good days on Instagram. During the week, my story views are in the teens now, but on Sundays, they hit triple digits easily. Also, that makes no fucking sense, Instagram. WTF?!Anyways, back to sewing and prepping for my last drop. I'm sending out 'welcome packs' to a few new moms I want to collaborate with. At this point it's merely obligatory- because goodness knows I can't even afford the shipping label for a "welcome pack". Also, welcome where? The ship that's sinking!? Anyways... 9hrs$53.45Monday, November 28 This morning, I changed my theme and made sure all my marketing was ready to go....
I am promising myself to be nicer. I have written stuff on my mirror (in the top right corner so when I need a reminder, I don't actually have to look at myself) "Value" "1LWater""Walk/Cycle""Bath""One Chapter"I know you're here for the business details, but mental health has a bold tone in all of this, so I didn't want to not address the elephant sitting on my chest. These little mirror reminders are (hopefully) going to allow me to be kind to myself and be obvious reminders of what my body has to have to keep carrying on. I've been forcing myself to take a bath every single night. Warm water helps my joints and the sound of the water is a calm transition...
