I’ve been deep in the numbers tonight… and this was my pause moment. 🍷
A second to breathe, reflect, and realise what’s actually been built here.
I’ve grown my business in a way I didn’t think was possible — as a solo Mum with 2 young kids, and maybe 3 child-free hours a week. And still… I did that.
One day I want to look back and tell my kids -
No matter how hard life feels, if you keep showing up and back yourself, things can change. Magic can happen 💫 🙏
And if I open that laptop and really look at rent, commissions, costs and inventory… it’s a whole different (and slightly terrifying) story.
But right now, I’m choosing this moment.
I’m proud.
The demands of both have reshaped my life — but in that, I’ve found a community of incredible small business owners who I so adore — their support, even on the harder days, will not be forgotten.
I’m also incredibly grateful — thank you to everyone who has supported my small, humble Hills business, shared my work, purchased from me, or simply cheered me on. It truly means more than you know 💕
And yes… the chaos in this photo is very real 😮💨 This is what it can look like behind the scenes.
In between kids, in between everything, in the small pockets of time I can find.
It’s not polished. It’s not quiet.
But it’s mine — and it’s working, even in the chaos
