Happy Friday friends!

I'm sorry for the radio silence last week! I blinked and it was Tuesday and Friday was 4 days behind me!

\xa0

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

The kids are in full baseball/softball swing.
They are loving it and thriving. I love watching them in the thick of what I loved growing up, and I love being so close to the sport even through motherhood.

There's nothing quite like playing catch with your kid when you yourself lived and breathed softball for 13 years straight when you yourself were a kid.

Any mama musician, artist, athlete, or anyone with a particular interest whose kids share that interest can probably relate. It's a special kind of special. Almost feels like you're in a time machine, in a kinda-sorta way!

As I'm writing this I'm sitting in the car at karate class, and after this, we speed over to our 6-year-old Emerson's baseball game. It's a wild ride, but I'm lovin' it.

Aside from that, our neighbors who live quite far from us who used to live in a small building somehow managed to boom - build an entire house overnight. They still have a ways to go but man, it's crazy how quickly they got the frame and exterior OSB up!

\xa0

Teams can do amazing things when they work together. They had a good, focused crew on the job. Now if only I could get the young couple who own the place to wave back to me. It's still a work in progress! LOL

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

I'm going through this program at the moment, learning from someone MUCH more advanced in business than I am, and I've been running a healthy business for over 7 years which has supported my family for the bulk of that time so, I'm no spring chicken, however this guy is at an entirely different level.

\xa0

He spends over \\$500,000 (not a typo) in Facebook ads profitably every day, which means the profit he is making each day is greater than \\$500,000/day. Insane.

\xa0

I'm very grateful to learn from him and loving the journey. It's a lot of leaning into messaging and learning the best way, psychologically, to communicate what you're trying to in a way that people can hear it how you want them to.

\xa0

Sounds kinda wild when I say it like that, but trust me, it's GOOD knowledge and I'm having a blast.

\xa0

There's also alot of learning how Facebook thinks and processes things. His background as a software engineer helps him understand the algorithm and platform a little more than the average person.

\xa0

I tested 150 different messages to see which resonated most with people and these were the top 5 winners:

\xa0

1. Here's how fully grown children can show their appreciation for every little thing it took to raise them (it took alot).
2. Here's how to wow your husband on the rare kid-free date night life allows.
3. Discover the accessory every mom's outfit is getting teary-eyed over.
4. Not just jewelry - a wild narrative of your crazy life raising little humans.
5. Ditch the department store same-old-same-old and fill your jewelry collection with pieces that tug at your heartstrings.

\xa0

I'd love for you to hit reply and let me know which ones was more impactful for you!

\xa0

Aside from that, the kids have been extra rambunctious during my live training calls, so that's been fun to navigate! 😂

\xa0

Nevertheless, I'm grateful to be where I am bother mama-wise and business-wise.

\xa0

Thanks for sticking with me throughout this bumpy adventure that is my life!

In gratitude,

\u200a

There they are. Well, 3 of the 4. Emmett (2), was probably doing his favorite thing.. diggin in the fridge. That on the left is Emerson. He is 6, loves too play catcher on his baseball team, is addicted to karate, and loves giving hugs. Emma in the middle is 8. She was the driving force in why I started my small biz, mintMONGOOSE Monthly Jewelry Club. She loves her softball team, has the nickname "GP" for "Gun Powder" at karate class, and loves to draw. She's most definitely a reflection of her grandma (my mom) whom she never got to meet. I love her to bits and am so grateful God blessed me with a girl as #1 vs all-boys like I thought I wanted. That beefy boy on the right is Luke, the most recent edition who decided to join the fam 10 days early (whereas ALL my other babies were not early at all) on the last day before our health insurance kicked in. #funnynotfunny We love him to bits. He loves to scoot everywhere, laugh, and kick and punch up a storm when you start to walk towards him.

Love you kids, thanks for being my "Why."\xa0

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!
