Transitions

Closed is such a funny word. Closed. Closing. closed. If I type it enough it starts to look incorrect, like maybe it should be “clozed” or “cloased.” Today is the last day of ghia, my store. I’m going to concentrate on being a full-time mom for awhile. Actually, I already was a de facto full-time […]

Kroger Care

It’s been a rough day. Nothing terribly bad happened, I’m just very tired and a little lonely. Little guy seems to have his first cold, and I’m afraid I might be in for a rough night. Our family was going to check out a new church community group tonight, but we decided to stay home

Expectations

Hemp, Hemp, Hurray!

So, I ordered some new products for ghia. I’ve found a couple of fair trade companies that provide awesome products at very affordable prices. That’s a hard thing to do when avoiding unethical manufacturing processes (sweatshops, child labor, etc.). I’ve been trying to expand my inventory of items appropriate for guys. While ghia carries tons

Shoulds

Some days I wonder if I should be blogging more about my experience as an entrepreneur. A couple of people suggested that when I first started this endeavor. Honestly, though, by the time I have solved a problem, I really don’t feel like blogging about it. I’m just glad it’s over. My Twitter feed might
