π Today, we truly experienced what it means to have a family business.
π© I did all the baking, decorating, packaging, and labeling this morning to get ready for the West Liberty sidewalk sales.
π© π¦ π§ Noah and Ellie helped me get everything loaded in the van, unload in West Liberty, and set up our table/display
π¨ π¦ π§ Noah and Ellie stayed in West Liberty to help Patrick with sales while I went to pick Jase up from school.
π΅ My mom stopped by the sale to pick Noah up and drop him off at football practice on her way home from work.
π© π¨ π§ Ellie helped Patrick and I with the sale until I had to take her to cheer practice and pick Noah up from football practice.
π¨ π¦ Jase helped Patrick at the sidewalk sale while I was on the run with the other kiddos.
π¨ π© π¦ π¦ Noah and I came back to the sale to finish the last hour or so with Patrick and Jase and then we all packed everything up to go pick Ellie up and head home.
Whew! Lots of switching roles, lots of moving pieces, but we did it and couldnβt have done it without any one of us! We had a great time in downtown West Liberty today!
As I sit here tonight thinking about this day (and catching a breath π), I am reminded again just how blessed I truly am. Iβm so thankful to have a supportive husband who goes along with anything and everything I dream up or sign us up for. Iβm proud to have kiddos that help us out with our business and grateful for the time it allows us to spend working together. And I am incredibly appreciative to have the best friends, family, customers, and community ever to support us in this family bakery adventure! π Thank you so much!
Up next for PS: Eat Sweets is the Labor Day Festival at Lions Club Park in West Liberty! See you there π π
