We are in crunch mode as we finish planning for our Celebrate Motherhood Retreat!
We started HAPPY MOMMY BOX as a care package service to reach out and encourage and uplift moms… it evolved into a shop where we sell items to help celebrate motherhood.. and now we finally are hosting our first gathering of women. We talked about this stage since the start
and it’s too crazy and exciting that it’s almost here!
You can see more details about the event here: Celebrate Motherhood Retreat.
(We even have a share program where you can earn $$ when people buy tickets through you!
We have had a surge of last minute mamas grabbing tickets.. love it!!)
I’ve been working on a lot of DIY projects to pull this event together…
lots of special details to show them we care!
We want the moms to be able to recharge and leave with a full tank to tackle motherhood.
Love how our swag bags turned out!
I designed our logo and then did the graphic in solid pink for our totes.
We are having a little Pop Up Shop with all of our Happy Mommy Box shop items…
I was on the hunt for a few saturdays in a row looking for a shelf at garage sales.
Found this cutie for EIGHT BUCKS! Solid and just needed a little love.
I used Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint (Home Depot) in Primitive.
Not the best after photo but I’ll get some cute shots of the pop up shop set up to share!
We are going to use this for our mugs and tumblers. :)
I knew I wanted a big statement wall for the main stage.
I knew It had to be easy to take to the hotel and set up.
So humongous foam boards were perfect! They fit in the back of the pick up truck and they are easy to carry..and just prop up against the wall. I found some cool vintage books at the humane society’s thrift store near us. Ripped some pages out and mod podged them on.
I have another detail for the backdrop but I’ll wait to share that with the final result!
I love how ben came home from work while I was working on this project on the back deck, and it didn’t even phase him. He’s used to my crazy. ;)
The kids have been loving playing outside so I took full advantage of the three of them playing in the sandbox while I worked on this project. 2 more panels to go!
Kind of random projects right now but I can’t wait to share how it all is working together.
Planning a retreat is fun and exhausting and I love the direction we’ve taken with our company. I always want to be open to where it’s supposed to go…
I love this quote by Hayley Morgan –
“All the hustle in the world doesn’t matter if the Lord isn’t leading the business.”
I’ll tell you this, everything is more fulfilling when you work with eternity in mind.
I’ll share more later! You can follow a long on INSTAGRAM
