Thank you for stopping by and joining our blog. Now I wonder, why are you here?  Are you an entrepreneur?  Are you interested in starting your own gift basket business? Are you looking for a reputable company to provide your gift baskets?  Do you just enjoy reading blogs? There are so many reasons to visit blogs.  They are becoming more and more popular.  Well, first off, where are my manners?  WELCOME! I hope you enjoy your reading.  I started this blog to tell people about my company and my philosophies about the gift basket industry, but the funny thing is, along the way, I remembered how I love to write!  I have always loved reading and I’ve always loved writing.  Even in school, essays and reports did not bother me (I know weird huh, my nerdliness is showing :)) , but somewhere along the lines of having children and starting my own company many years ago, I slowly wrote less and less.  It’s funny how things work.  I truly believe things happen for a reason, and starting this blog, although I thought it would be so others could get to know my company, has turned, selfishly, into a way for me to pick up where I left off with one of my favorite things, the lost love of writing.  Instead of being something “I have to” do, it has become something I look forward to doing.  I’m not writing novels, or pages and pages, I don’t have that kind of time available to me at this time in my life, but I am enjoying every minute I do have!  My wish for you is that you take some time to find your lost passions and start today to once again enjoy them, even if it is only for a short time each day!

When my children were very young, I had the luxury of being a full-time, stay at home mom and I relished every minute of it.  I know this is not possible for many mothers.  (I also know that there are some, who enjoy working outside of the home, and I respect them for their decision).  My heart bled, however, for the moms who truly would have liked to be at home, but could not afford to do this.  When I began my business, centered around my family, I was determined to help those mothers if I could.  When I first started the business, I purposely kept it small, allowing it to grow, as my children did, so that it would not take over my life.  When I began hiring staff, I tried to hire stay at home moms. Moms who need to bring in an income, but still want to be there for their children.  I do this by offering flexible scheduling.  The moms that work for me, come in after their children are off to school and they leave in plenty of time to be home when their children arrive, if need be.  School field trips or important events in their lives are scheduled in, so that our working moms can attend.

After being in business several years, I thought of another way to help stay at home moms.  I created a drop ship program that would allow moms to inexpensively start a business from home, without any overhead, work short hours, that can be scheduled around their children, and bring in an income.  Although it may not seem like much to others, I am very proud to be able to help other moms who are looking to spend as much time as possible with their children.
