I went to the WEV Orientation last night and it was so great! I was in a room full of women who are wanting to or have already started their own businesses. SO RAD! I got there a little late so I missed some of the women's business ideas but the ones I heard were very interesting. There was a photographer, a soap maker, a woman who wants to open a My Gym-like establishment, another wants to wants to have her own salon, and a native Spanish-speaker who wants to start a computer consultant company. Right!?! So cool.
The class starts in Feb, lasts for 16 weeks and the membership rates go up at the end of January significantly so I will need to make a decision quickly. I don't want to wait till September to take this class. However, because we (and by we, I mean Kevin) make so much money the cost of the class is $1K. That might be much in the big scheme of things but it's certainly more than we can afford at the moment.
I'm going to get started on the scholarship application and pray. I really want to go through this program. So exciting!

Long Time No Blog
Yes, it's been a while but ReBorn is still on my mind every single day. I was in Memphis for Mikey's wedding and then in Texas for three weeks (so great) and then preparing for Christmas and I guess these are my excuses.
While in Memphis I stopped by a darling little maternity store that really got me excited. The store is called Haute Mama Maternity (v. cute name). Somehow they do not have a website but they do have an email list and are really great about sending updates. I've received emails about new lines, pregnancy and health tips, and a cute email about a cooking class for kids...which I guess was going on in the same shopping complex and invited moms to come shop while kids cooked. Anyway, I like the email updates. You have to sign up for them and when you do, you indicate your due date and you'll be removed from the list. I wish I had signed up twice - one w/a due date and one w/o. I wonder what they do on the due date?
Things I really liked about the store:
1. The decore - wooden hangers caught my attention immediately, the walls were hot pink
2. The vibe was very 'cool' - I can't tell you why because my memories have faded a bit but I know that when I think about the store I think 'cool place' and that is really what it's all about. Am I right?!?
3. Citizen jeans were front and center
4. The email list
5. The sales woman - so nice. so friendly. very encouraging to me about my business plan.
Also, Isabella Oliver (www.isabellaoliver.com) has an amazing new Fall line. If you haven't seen it and you're able to afford $90 t-shirts than you must check it out.
