If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quieter lately, you’re not wrong.
Like many mompreneurs, I found myself a little overcommitted this season. Between running Honey Willow, Modern Maven, volunteering, and supporting my kids through some really important stages of their lives, something had to give; and for a while, it has been my presence in the business.
Today, as I watched my youngest receive Best Junior Cadet of the Year at his squadron’s annual awards ceremony, I was reminded that I’ve been exactly where I needed to be.
One of the hardest parts of entrepreneurship is accepting that sometimes success doesn’t look like crossing every task off the list. Sometimes it looks like showing up for school events, cadet nights, family dinners, and the moments that won’t come around again.
Honey Willow and Modern Maven aren’t going anywhere. In fact, we have some exciting new arrivals hitting the websites this week and a healthy backlog of treasures waiting to be listed. We’re still here, still growing, and still incredibly grateful for your support and patience.
We’re so proud of our kiddo, excited for his future, and excited for ours too.
Thank you for sharing in our growing moments, just as you allow us to share in yours. 💕
