Dear friends, the time has come for an announcement. I am closing NLN π
You all have given me a wonderful 3.5 years and I can not even begin to express the gratuitude I have towards all of my support network π You've pushed me to learn and grow so much over these years, and it will not go wasted.
This is not 'goodbye', more of a 'see ya later'. There will be another storefront when the time is right.
I'm battling a lot of mixed emotions about the decision. Everything from sad, ashamed, to excited/relieved. So much work has gone into formulation and design.. I'm a pro at it now! When the time comes, it'll be like riding a bike..
With that being said-
Being a mother & business owner is like working double OT with half the pay and the boss is a real as***le sometimes π€£ Granted motherhood in itself is rewarding but entrepreneurship is not made for the faint of heart.
I have worked 7 days a week between the shop and my day job on top of being a mother of 3. I attend sporting events/ practices upwards of 4-5 days a week from May- December on top of normal parenting responsibilities. I've made it look easy to some people but lets be real-- it's exhausting. Having one less responsibility on my plate (aka the shop) will let me breathe again.
I love you all, thank you for the support during this time π See you soon π
Sincerely,
Nettie
π§ PS- I will not be at the shop regular hours. Today I'm taking children to a kite festival. Next Sunday plan on coming in and taking advantage of some great deals for Mother's Day and stocking up on your favorite items. YES I HAVE TONS OF BATH BOMBS and am making more to clear out supplies!
