RRNB 2013 – Fashion Evolution

Happy New Year Blog Beauties!

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Christmas holiday & had a blast entering 2013.

So much has happened & there is so much that I’d like to share with you, my kindred fashion spirits!

First off, I’d like to thank all of the fans, followers, customers and models who have made Ruffles Ribbons N’ Bows what is has become: my dream come true. You guys not only ROCK, but you’ve helped to prove that when you have a dream or vision, no matter how difficult a task it seems to bring it into fruition, you CAN do it, especially with God’s help. If not for Him, I don’t know how I would have made it through some of those all-nighters during busy season. Coffee alone just did not cut it. J

That brings me to my second topic: A New Year. With every New Year comes a New Vision – Re-invention – Re-evaluation. Ruffles Ribbons N’ Bows is falling into step with 2013 and offering customers a few FAB things:

Blog Remodel – including a Look Book, A Celebrity Trend page, a newsletter, and more!

I’ve also decided to be more open about my homeschooling experience, since it’s still a bit taboo to some.

The Revealing of my Spring 2013 Collection!!! And guess what? I’d like to know what you guys would like to see in the store, so please leave comments on what things you’d like to see Ruffles Ribbons N’ Bows Boutique offer in the New Year.

There lots of things in the works that I won’t reveal just now, but I thought I’d give everyone a heads up. J

Don’t forget: Feb is the month of LOVE as February 14 is ValentinesDay. So mommies, if you’d like to make sure your little one is the cutest V-Day Fashionista, make sure you order your boutique treats A.SAP. as I tend to get super-booked during the holiday. And don’t forget I love custom orders for the ladies as well. J

Happy Shopping Blog Beauties & remember to Keep it Wicked MEAN in 2013 with RRNB!

Thanks & God Bless!

XOXO

What's New With Me, What's New With RRNB?

OMGosh! Has it been that long since I've written a blog post??? My life hasn't been that busy...has it?

*sigh*

Being Supermommy is a Blessing more often than not, but it's the 'not' times that make us question what the heck we are thinking half of the time. For instance, my hubby and I made the decision a long time ago to homeschool, which is awesome. We feel that God has led us to follow through on this course of Christ-centered education, so I'm happy I have a hubby who is on the same page as I am with that. Of course, since I'm the SAHM, I will primarily (and most certainly) be the one teaching our son & any children to come. But I don't really STAY home. As a matter of fact, having this Etsy business keeps me pretty busy during the day and most of the night, working often into the wee hours of the morning. And burning the candle at both ends doesn't prevent me from awaking at 8 a.m. and dragging through my home making breakfast, feeding our cats, feeding the neighborhood cat colonies (yes I DO help to trap/spay/neuter too), preparing our lesson for the day, checking emails, fiddling with social networks, writing my play & my christian childrens book series, dishes, housework, laundry, shopping/ to-do lists, phone calls, meet-ups/ playdates and spending quality time with my son...while petting the cats. Makes me want to just run off screaming down the street, like in a Looney Toons episode. Why CAN"T we just go Daffy Duck on our responsibilities? Moms deserve to have a mini breakdown and well as a mini vacation too!

Unfortunately, we don't get to do either. I always tell my mom, if I could go back into time & stop Eve from eating the forbidden fruit, I'd slap her one good for her part in the plight of women. However, on days like today, when the weather is above 80 degrees and I'm in my backyard taking photos of my little one riding his bike with the new helmet grandma sent him (adorable!), I'm reminded of my Blessings.

I get to stay home and raise my son. How awesome is that? I get to nap once in a blue moon too. I also have some great pets and a hubby who works hard so that I can stay home & raise our kiddo. I'm in a new playgroup which seems absolutely awesome and we're about to join a christian homeschooling network of folks who can actually help me get the hang of this home educator thing. Whew! That is a lot! And I didn't even get to the part of my sweet extended family, my best friends back home, my growing boutique business, going back to college in the fall and shedding 70 pounds. Sure I'd like more sleep and my house looks like we just got out of the Wizard of Oz tornado, but I'm getting there. With God's help ALL THINGS are possible, so I'm going to keep moving forward and being the best "me" possible.

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Ruffles Ribbons N' Bows Boutique will be moving in a different direction. I've decided to focus primarily on tutus and tutu dresses. Oh sure, I'll still offer crib shoes, hairbows, bow holders, legwarmers, flower clips and more, but I'm figuring out more effective and unique ways to do so. Be on the lookout for our new look as well. We'll have a different logo and boutique look as well, so check back in with us in a week or two.

SIDE NOTE!

We'll be offering Couture Easter tutu dresses, M2M Gymboree hairbows & tutu sets, and Unique themed tutu sets & tutu dresses. I'm looking forward to going on this fashion journey with you gals! :-)

Have a Blessed Day! XOXO
