Wow! It’s December and I can’t believe how quickly time has flown by! November was a crazy hectic (but exciting) month and I have been remiss in keeping this ole blog updated.

I’ve been working on sourcing the fabric for the clothing line. This has been the hardest part of getting the clothing line started. I am so stressed about making sure the fabric is the right kind and of top quality. I’ve had to take a crash course on not only sourcing fabric (which is a bit of a mystery in and of itself) but also on properties and qualities of textiles. Needless to say it’s been interesting! This process has taken me to New York’s Garment District and to the Art Institute in Chicago so I’m becoming well traveled.

Scott and I have also been busy giving presentations to groups of investors in order to secure funding to give us the security we need to keep this baby running. It has gone well and we’re excited about the people we’re speaking with who are interested in investing. I feel incredibly blessed by our potential investors so I’m hoping that the whole due diligence process goes smoothly and well and the deal can be wrapped up soon!!

Our web developer has completed the design for our online store and the backend admin portion. I’m more excited than ever to fill it out with clothing and launch that portion of the website.

We’re also gearing up for a presentation to a local research hospital in the area for a potential relationship on the social network. It’s extremely important to me to have research based information to provide for our families and this is a wonderful opportunity to showcase a phenomenal local institution.

Well, I’ve gotta go order some fabric now!!

Keep it Real!!
