Hey! 🌟

I hope you had a supercalifragilisticexpealadocious week!

This week, on the family side of things...\xa0

Something interesting happened today...

\xa0

I noticed one of the area rugs in our living room was folded up so I asked the kids to unfold it so no one would trip.

\xa0

A few moments later I realized they were huddled together near the rug instead of fixing it.

\xa0

I asked again, "Please fix the rug kid."

\xa0

Emma: "But mom, why does the rug say Santa on the bottom?"

\xa0

Me: "What?"

\xa0

I notice 2-year-old Emmett running towards the rug, the kids are making noice, the baby is calling from me, and lunch is on the stove - I don't want to burn the grilled cheese!

\xa0

In frustration at this point I say, "Please fix the rug now. I don't want anyone hurt."

\xa0

Emma: Santa is spelled S-A-N-T-A right mom?

\xa0

Me: "Yes! It's probably a city name you are reading like Santa Monica, Santa Ana, or Santa Barbara. Now, can you please fix the rug?"

\xa0

Emma slowly walks back to the rug and I hear her say under her breath to herself (in COMPLETE seriousness), "Ahh..Santa probably lives there."

\xa0

Funniest. Moment. Ever!

\xa0

I just love her!

\xa0

Aside from today's Santa festivities, Emerson hit a few balls at his first-ever baseball practice around the same time that Emma got her first two hits in a softball game a few cities away. I'm sorry I missed it Emma, but so glad your dad got a video!

\xa0

Aside from that, my sister brought home peanut butter cookies which Emmett found and "disposed" of (thanks buddy!), and Luke was introduced to solids for the first time!

\xa0

This week, on the business side of things...\xa0

I've been taking some AI training for messaging and it's really interesting all of the ways that AI can be used to inspire ideas.

\xa0

Also this week, I attended some live trainings with two people who spend multiple MILLIONS of dollars PER MONTH on Facebook ads... profitably! I'm just soaking up all they have to share. So grateful for their time and excited to test what I'm learning for my small business!

\xa0

Also, first the first time EVER, new customers joining my small business, mintMONGOOSE Monthly Jewelry Club, can pick their first set!

This is super special, and not something we have done before - the first set has always been a surprise before now.

There he is! My Emerson after his first baseball practice. In true Emerson fashion he had to pee shortly after arriving, and he filled his baseball glove with dirt... multiple times, but he had fun and hit the ball quite a few times for it being his first time. It was a good first practice with a kind team and helpful and patient coach. I'm excited to watch Emerson's growth on the team and see him build friendships with other little ones his age.

Fun Fact:\xa0This is a small mama-ran business - thank you for the opportunity to serve you - it means so much to my kiddos and I!
