Welcome to June 2025!
I don't know about you but time is flying... 6 months of the year has already gone and everything I said I wanted to do this year has been put to the side as I focus on the needs of our family.
As I look back over the last 20 years of having a business - first the toy shop, then this store it's funny how life has changed. Not only do we now have a family, we have 2 children who have additional needs; one diagnosed ADHD and Autistic and one who is on the pathway for diagnosis.
I used to think 6 months was a long period of time but in truth it's not! Those six months go in the blink of an eye and I'm actually looking back with a 10 year old and a 9 year old and it doesn't seem two minutes since they were both a babe in arms, when I worried about having 2 children under the age of 2 and how I would cope.
Today, I would give anything to have those years back and I often look at how I can create some of the time (and patience) I had back then too! But life has moved on around us too!
This month, I'm not committing to too much... we've been trying for over a year to move our home, our business and our life to reset the balance but we find ourselves still here, still waiting for that one person/family who will love this house as much as we do.
We're making plans, we're already thinking about Christmas and we've lots of new ranges coming we still can't believe 6 months of the year has already gone!
