happy birthday to one of the most important members of the EVENT PLANNING + DESIGN team — my mom! 🤍
for the past 16 years, she’s been our trusted bookkeeper, but her role in this business goes far beyond numbers. over the last 9+ years, she’s driven countless hours (and we’ve flown her in from northern bc more times than i can count!) to help care for my babies while i was onsite producing events. whether at home with the kids while my husband worked + i pulled 18+ hour event days, or onsite with my newborns so i could sneak away to nurse, she’s always been there.
they say it takes a village to raise a family + build a business, but to be a successful entrepreneur, business owner, and mom, it really takes a village... or more like an army. and my mom has been one of the biggest + most important members of mine.
knowing my children were in the very best hands allows me to focus on creating unforgettable experiences for our clients + i will never be able to thank her enough for that.
we truly couldn’t do what we do without her. wishing the happiest of birthdays to our behind-the-scenes mvp. love you mom! 🎉💕
