When my lawyer said it would take a year to officially get registered, I sorta believed him. But sheesh, it really did. But it's official! Nothing's gonna stop us now! Cue the track and go ahead and have a cocktail for us. We won't stop ya either!
For new moms, the struggle is real. I mean, what just happened? Oh yeah, a human grew inside them, came out in one of two ways—both rude for their own reasons—and now it's completely dependent on them for the next, um remainder of it's life. It's a lot of work. Physically and mentally. Thankfully, The Struggle is Real Baby Shower Gift Set has all the goods that will help make their lives a little easier.
In the spirit of experiences vs stuff, my family planned an outing see the David Bowie Is exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum for Mother's Day. It's created a big buzz around town and we thought it'd be more fun than fighting for a brunch table.
All day today, November 28th, 100% of profits from the store will go directly to the For a Day Foundation. Started 17 years ago by a dear friend Jenna Edwards, For a Day a non-profit helping kids with cancer through Queen for a Day & Hero for a Day programs. A whole day these kids and their families don't have to think about anything else but being a fabulous kid.
I wanted my daughter to learn to appreciate who she was, all her unique strengths and accept others for who they are and their unique strengths. Inner and outer. I mean, as a parent, don't we all? As a human, don't we all? If we were all the same, we'd have some pretty tough blind spots. Being different helps us see things from different angles and allows us to solve problems and create for the community as a whole.
Short answer, a weirdo.
Long answer, a few key facts:
1. Since I was a kid, I've been doodling, writing age-expected poetry, hearing melodies in my head with random lyrics and a teller of silly stories in random rhymes.
2. In my mid-20s, I moved to New York City and became an art director at one of the biggest advertising agencies in the world. It was from there I learned how to pitch ideas to giant global companies and the importance of branding, design and marketing. More importantly, I found myself in hours and hours of meetings where my meeting notes turned into a whole cast of character doodles.
3. Since I accidentally created the characters, I became obsessed with giving them a life and reason for being. So I dove backwards into it and The MoMeMans were born.
4. Now I spend my time juggling orders for customers and with vendors, website management, product inventory, social media, newsletters, taxes, writing, singing, animating, hustling markets on the weekends, freelancing (this is still a side hustle), being a wife, a friend, a mom, giving lots of hugs and kisses, learning a ton and having fun!
