Featured Friday 15.09.17

I've decided every Friday I will talk about some of my favourite small businesses which I have been enjoying that week.
As this is the first week it will be slightly larger and will include a few of my favourite businesses.

Scarborough Scribbles etc
Scarborough Scribbles is the creation of the amazing Jenny. Everything is designed from her own imagination and is the put onto a hand drawing, digital design, cross stitch, clay model or more. Jenny is incredibly talented and incredibly humble. In the last 6 months I've had several items from her including a hand painted card, a digital design for a get well card and I'm getting a keyring soon which I will share a picture when I receive it.
Scribbles is still a fairly new business so stop by, check it out and maybe have a little shop. If you don't see what you want drop her a message, tell her Mummy&Roo sent you.

Loonicorn
Loonicorn is the brilliant shop run by the even more brilliant Looni. Anything you might need to advertise your own small business then Looni can probably help. She does incredible business cards, order books, stickers, vinyls and lots more. Although most of what Loonicorn does matches what I do I don't see her as competition, I see her as a best friend. She has a major unicorn obsession and her customers love her so much they're forever sending her treats! Now that's some serious customer love. She also does some sewn goods and as soon as Roo starts getting wobbly teeth I will definitely be ordering a tooth fairy pillow.
Stop by and check her out, don't forget to tell her I sent you.

Hug Hampers
Hug Hampers is a business I haven't personally ordered from however it is a business I feel very passionate about supporting. They make speciality hampers to allow you to send a hug to someone when they need it most. Their current range includes "IVF Hamper" "Loss Hamper" and "Rainbow Hamper". As you can possibly guess they make gifts you can give when there's no words which can help. Having gone through losing a baby, having IVF and then getting my rainbow baby in Roo I honestly think this a fantastic business model. Having spoken to Lisa, the owner, I know she runs this business for love not money and that makes me love it even more. My own business supplies some items for the IVF hamper which is how I found her. Give her a look, maybe a like, and bear her in mind if someone you know is going through some challenges on their journey to parenthood.

I'll also pop a link down here for my own business, just in case you would like to visit. I make business stationery, stickers, planner stickers, clothing, bags, etched glassware and more.

My truths about Self Employment

These days it seems self employment is becoming more and more common with the rise of online selling abilities, rep businesses and the 'Boss Babe' movement. I'm all for anything which makes people feel more empowered and able to handle their own business, no matter what size. I've been in this game for 6.5 years now, although much more so in the last 2 or 3 and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and experiences on self employment. These are personal to me, relate to my business (small printing & craft business) and life, and are unfiltered, you may not agree with them but that's okay you don't need to. Do not expect help and advice; but don't assume people won't offer There is no sick pay or sick leave, if you aren't working, you aren't earning Not all businesses are the same, don't tell people how to run theirs It's okay to be jealous, just don't let it effect how you work 2 similar businesses do not have to b

Sober October

Now that October is over I can declare I didn't have any alcohol. I'm a pint of lager kind of girl rather than spirits most of the time and I don't go out very often so I wasn't drinking insane and unsafe amounts, I very rarely get more than a little tipsy. But throughout August and September I was having a couple of cans of lager every evening, it was basically "Roo's in bed, grab a drink and relax at last. Normally a crate of beer would last me month but instead it was lasting a week, it had become part of my routine and an essential part of winding down. Then we went on holiday and the fridge was kept well stocked, I ended up having a lot more to drink. I still wasn't getting drunk but I was drinking a lot more than is recommended albeit slowly throughout the day. So when I got home I decided my body needed a break! It was the 1st October and there were things on TV and social media suggesting Go Sober for October so I decided I'd do it. I also de

Fat to... Fit? Less fat?

So I've joined the gym, again! I'm not on some insane health binge, it's not a resolution, it's not a sudden change. There's 2 reasons I've joined: 1) I am fat and unhealthy 2) I need something for me! Without a child in tow Mostly it's number 2, it's certainly the reason why now! I've been fat and unhealthy for years. I am not a gym bunny, I will not become a gym bunny. But I do sometimes enjoy the gym, it's a good way to work out the stress of life and it gives me some time alone. I'll be blogging here about my progress and any effects it's having. I am going to weigh myself but this isn't an attempt at weight loss, I don't care what the scales say I care about how I feel. I've taken before photos which there's no way I'm sharing now but maybe later. I'm going to post day 1 as a separate blog though so you can appreciate my first time back in a gym since 2013 in all its glory.
