Have you ever longed to do something with every fiber of your being, but you were afraid to take the risk? That’s how I felt about leaving my cozy-steady-paycheck-benefits-included-job to pursue Fleurish & Bloom full time. Then everything changed. Our childcare provider told us she was going back to work full time. At that point, our options were (1) send our sweet six month old daughter to daycare or (2) choose to view our predicament as a sign that it was time to make a change and take the leap. The leap would allow me to juggle F&B work during naptimes, evenings, and when my husband wasn’t on shift (thank goodness for a firefighter’s random schedule), while also focusing on mothering my sweet baby girl. Though I knew balancing new motherhood and growing a business would be difficult, the answer was clear: my family comes first. Option 2 hands down. Were there challenges? Absolutely (hello COVID)! But we weathered the storm, and never looked back. These days, my work schedule is far more consistent; I’m no longer flying solo (we’ve got a team of six designers who love flowers as much as I do); and we’re taking on 20 weddings a year rather than 5. But a few things remain the same: loving and caring for my family remains my first priority. A close second? My dedication to making your wedding flourish and bloom in the most spectacular ways.
