August, over & out ✌🏼
We’ve pretty much been non-stop since May and somewhere amongst the weddings, flowers, early starts, late finishes and general chaos, we’ve also survived a NINE week summer holiday 😂
Juggling kids and a business is no joke and I’ve definitely had my moments, but weirdly… I think I’m happier with work than I’ve ever been.
I realised the other day that I’ve probably only actually worked about 7 days in August. The rest I’ve managed to spend with the boys which, considering a few years ago Rose & Bloom was just a little idea I was trying to make work, is pretty cool.
Not sure I’d call it work/life balance because most of the year is absolute carnage 😂 but I’ll take it.
Anyway, August in numbers…
🌸 3 beautiful weddings
🚐 400+ miles
💐 approximately 748293 stems conditioned
☕️ far too many coffees
🫠 several “why do I do this to myself” moments
👦🏼 9 weeks of school holidays survived
💻 about 467 emails I’ve been pretending don’t exist
✌🏼 and somehow only 7-ish days actually at work
And now onto September…
We’re moving studios (which I am SO excited for), we have 3 gorgeous weddings to create and lots happening behind the scenes as we start planning for the ‘ber months 🍂🎄
Back to business ✌🏼
