A Mother Passionate About Natural Birth, Health, and Living
On To New/Old Things
So, the business thing didn’t happen. I almost posted this extensive thing about how we were trying to buy a business with tons of juicy details. I had visions for this place. We were trying to purchase a local re-sale children’s clothing store. I had ideas to give this little shop an entire makeover. I wanted to paint. I wanted to knock down walls.
