Well kids, mommy has been a business owner for the past 3 1/2 years. I have made a wonderful friend/business partner, learned some business sense, and dressed you guys pretty darn cute, but the time has come for me to say goodbye. Tinytales has become part of our lives. Lane spent half of his first year coming to work with me. Olivia, when you would come to the store after school and turned into a little salesperson. You tried to help people find the perfect toy or outfit for their little one. Hallie Beth, you just liked to shop! If you weren't shopping then you turned into my own little personal model! I really had dreams of one day dressing my grandbabies in fancy smocked clothes or Vineyard Vines finest. They would have been the best source of advertisement! Girls, I would've loved for you to have an after-school or summertime job at my little store. I did have dreams, but the Lord had other plans. Right now I'm not sure what those plans are. I'm trying to get back into the world of teaching! It's fall. It's not exactly hiring season, but who knows.
Below are some pictures of the store when we first opened. We were so excited and ambitious! The economy quickly took a turn for the worse. The United States hasn't had a recession like this since the 1930's. Almost 4 years later the world is still feeling the crunch.
Just another life lesson, God always has greater plans than your own. Sometimes you may not understand or agree with how your life is going, but His relevance will reveal itself in due time.
XOXO, Mama
