I honestly think I’m already showing signs of a better PMA recently. I’m not sure if you lot can see that? Towards the end of last year I felt so lost in life. So many things in my head. Who was I?

Well, I’ve been working insanely hard at my little online brand and things are slowly falling into place. I’m making sure the days I’m at home with Bear are not full of work to do lists, but are dedicated to him. That way when I am working my head is less stressed and I can concentrate on the tasks I have to do.

Starting my own small business hasn’t been easy. There’s so many hurdles to jump over. From being found and noticed online, to making and increasing sales, to competing with the huge brands already out there.

Regardless of how successful my business is, there’s one thing I’ve tried to do well from the start and that’s excellent customer service.

Whether you’re complaining or complimenting I always try to reply quickly, respond professionally whilst ensuring I’m coming across in a friendly manner.

And that’s with 2 kids in tow! There’s no excuse for bad customer service.

There I said it. If I could sit on the sofa all night watching Friends (and stay fit and healthy of course) I totally would. Fitness isn’t fun to me.

I envy those who actually enjoy the gym. Those who happily put on their running gear and head out for a run every night. I”m just lazy and can’t be bothered.

Having said that, there are a couple of things I do enjoy, and have decided I need to do more of these this year.

I’ve mentioned before hope I don’t make new year resolutions, but give myself goals to aim for. Something that isn’t set in stone, but that I can reflect on and use for motivation.

When I reflect back on the last year I’ll be honest, I feel like the year was tough. My mental health has been rocky. Something I dreaded would happen after having a second baby. This time though I’ve been suffering with anxiety. I have my good days, I have my bad days, but I’m learning to see the signals and make small changes to improve my day.

I’ve worked my socks off (around the kids) on my brand and blog and although they are both ticking along, I’m a little disappointed with the growth. Having said that November was my best month for blog income and I really feel confident I can start the year with a bang.
