Eric and I both agree that this is the year to step it up with our business. We started Announcing Yours about a year and a half ago and haven't done much to promote it, besides telling our friends. So, this year we're really working on our marketing and networking. For all of you Chico people, check out our advertisement in Growing Up Chico magazine. I'm sooo excited that it's out! I've been waiting for a few months, not knowing exactly when it would come out. So, now we're just praying that it's successful and brings in a lot of business!
If you know of anyone that's is going to have a baby or a party or a wedding, tell them about Announcing Yours. Eric has some amazing designs up, but if you (they) don't see something you like let us know and he can custom create something just for you!
Well, I'm really tired. Eric, Judah, and Samuel are all getting over a cold. Because Samuel has been congested he hasn't been sleeping very well. Because he hasn't been sleeping very well I haven't been sleeping very well. He probably woke up 6 times last night. Ugh! As you all know, I'm really anal about sickness and sick people around me and people bringing their sick kids to my house/in public, etc.. I'm now the girl in charge of the nursery/Sunday School at church, so my first rule was no sick kids in the nursery! Well umm, today was my nursery day and I brought Judah at the end of his cold, anyway. Is that horrible of me? Now, to justify myself, he had clear snot only and all of the other kids were snotty, too. And, I asked another mom what she thought and she said it was fine. What am I supposed to do when other sick kids come in? I feel bad telling a parent not to bring their kid and I know the other nursery workers do, too.
Also, about the sick thing, I was reading this article (I don't remember where, probably Yahoo News) that said most people think it's an honorable thing to go to work sick. Like, they feel so sick but, because they're so needed at work, they'll just suck it up and go anyway. Well, I'm here to tell you it's not honorable. It's just gross and spreads the germs. Yuck yuck yuck! If you're sick, stay home. If your kid is sick, keep them home.
Ok, before you all think I'm completely crazy...I wasn't like this before I had kids. I promise. Ask my mom. I just know that having your kids sick is the most horrible thing ever. Especially when they're babies (like Samuel) and can't blow their noses and can't breathe at night. Poor baby!

Totally agree with you on the sick thing. I hate it when sick people go out and spread their germs. It's so annoying. Hope the kids feel better soon. Having your kids sick is the worst.
ReplyDeletethis time of year I feel like every kid is going to have a runny nose! And I read somewhere that it's mainly the first three days of a cold that are the contagious phase.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny about the trials you face as a nursery leader...I am in the exact same boat, I've been incharge of our nursery for over a year and just a few weeks ago was faced with my first sick kid. What do you say to the parent, especially if it's one of your friends??? I just did the "avoid them" thing and posted a sign on the nursery door stating a new policy stating that if your child is experiencing any symptoms of a cold or flu, that we would, for the sake of the other children, appreciate it if they could keep their child with them. So far everyone has been great about it! Contagious or not, you as a nursery worker don't need to be wiping the nose of someone other than your own. Hope this helps! You're boys are adorable! Love, Jessi
ReplyDeleteI love your announcements. That's so great! If you ship to the bay area, then I'll definitely keep you in mind when it's time for us to order our announcements in August. (Assuming everything is okay though... read my blog today).
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my babbies are sick, I hope yours get better quickly. I never thought about that with nursary. I remember the one at my old church was really bad. It seemed that if the Mattie went she always came home sick. But we are the other side of town now so we don't go there. And now both girls just sit with us, no more sickies if I can help it :o). I really like what I have heard about your church, we will have to check it out when we move back.
ReplyDeleteUgg..Lila is sick too. She seems to feel good, but there's lots of snot..and it's not clear. Oh, and I love the cards; it's very cool that you guys have a business.
