… The holidays had our house looking very different … here’s a pic of Nancy with her feet up, TopoChico at the ready, Christmas living room chilling in the background, while Ivanna and I played with some bag patterns on our extended kitchen table:
Tonight’s pace was totally different than the holidays… tonight was hustle hustle hustle, scurry scurry scurry … a lot to prepare and think about with the kiddos launching back into the school routine starting tomorrow morning and Nancy and I back into our routines as well. I mentioned previously that I’m excited about the #altMBA — that will get kicked off on Jan 11. So I have one week of time to shake the dust off, get back into a routine, and then be ready to rock and roll for the start of the altMBA. That means we have one Tuesday left for our traditional Tuesday night BFD session. Eric and Rusty: y’all should be warned that I’m very much looking forward to it. 🙂
Quick bag update: One by one, we’re beginning to sell our bags!
While we’re not quite ready to start taking online orders at large — we have started selling a few backpacks one at a time. I just sold one this weekend! Packing up these initial bags and getting them ready to ship is nothing but pure adrenaline for me. It’s a lot of fun to polish the buckles, attach the tags, tuck the tissue paper, and seal the box… I will be very eager to start openly selling as soon as we can. But until then I continue to celebrate each of these initial sales, one by one. Drip by drip, he we go shipping… Packing up this box tonight felt like the absolutely most perfect way to officially wrap up the holidays:
