Sooooo, I said that, from time to time, I’d share insights into the “magic” (aka “madness”) of MA! Tiffany and I met at our favorite greasy burger joint in Castle Rock yesterday and, let me tell you, that woman is HILARIOUS when she’s had her sleep — which she hasn’t had in about — ohhhhh, how old is Emmy? Nine months? Yeah, I think yesterday Tiffany was working off of her first full night of sleep in nine months. Suddenly, this business partner-o-mine was ON. IT! I just kept staring at her (while shoving fries in my mouth).

A good friend. Good sleep. Greasy French fries. It’s beautiful moments like those when I realize that this business is going to be GREAT.

So, anyway, we are approaching the biggest event of our little company’s life — Mother.s Day 2008. Last year, we were barely a month old when Mother’s Day hit and we did fairly well. This year…

Ohhhhhh this year, have we got fun stuff in store! We are working on some awesome new products using photos sent to us by our faithful subscribers (and get this: they aint all family and friends! We love it when strangers love our stuff — they don’t HAVE to!)

Our biggest challenge now is the fact that we have so many great ideas (and Tiffany’s husband John is an Idea Factory!) but we also have to be moms and freelancers. We need a TEAM of people, but we’re not independently wealthy. So, we do get frustrated by the sheer number of things we COULD be doing, but we have to stay focused on the here-and-now.

For example, Tiffany was regaling me with a shower of ideas for our website yesterday and I said, “You need to be in an art bubble until these new products are done.” She got this euphoric, vacant look in her eyes and said, “Art bubble! Art bubble!”

Seriously, we are truly having fun and we keep putting one foot in front of the other — so things are going in the right direction. Watch out on Mother’s Day!!!

(Hey, if there are any bookkeepers out there who would like some FREE MA! PRODUCTS in exchange for setting us up on QuickBooks, we want to hear from you!)
