Be The Change {FREE PRINTABLE}

I have had a tough couple years, and until recently I was trying to just get used to all the things I knew needed to be changed around me. Unfortunately that is not how it works. You must be the one to change things for the better. I hope this little printable will help you all remember you must be the change and make a positive influence on others.

Bathroom Printables {Freebie}

Since my husband has been gone for work I have had the overwhelming urge to decorate and change everything in our home. I havent got very far and pick up little things as I find them. I have decided to re decorate my littles bathroom and put all my focus in to that one room for now. When I was pregnant with our little guy I never really considered the fact that some day he will be sharing this bathroom with his sister and the super girly ruffle shower curtain I spent days sewing was eventually going to have to be switched for something more neutral. I have been searching the web looking for cute printables and trying to draw some inspiration from things I have seen, but ill admit I am not getting too far. I decided to sit down and make my own and although I might not be using these exact colors I couldnt pass up sharing these with you all! Feel free to download as many times as you want!

Week in Review-- Week 1

Whew what a week. I sure have been busy trying to get as many new wraps as I could listed so you all could take advantage of the free shipping!! I think overall it was a great way to start out 2013 and already think that this year is going to be an amazing one. I have so much coming up with new products and collaborations. I am really having a hard time keeping it all in! I posted quite a few pictures this week to give you all a view in to what I was working on.

I am participating in the Sew Can She Sewalong which I am SO excited about! There is still time to join if you think you may want to! I have a few projects in mind for this one and can't wait to share my progress and my finished products.

HAPPY 2013! What are YOUR resolutions?

Welcome to 2013! Lola Wraps is getting a makeover this year. I can't wait to share the finished look with you all but here is a sneak at our new logo! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  Hope you all love it too!

So since it is a new year I know everyone out there has at least one resolution for 2013. I have a few myself. Some are personal and some are business related.

Personal:

I would like to be healthier. I have been working out already 3 days a week with a trainer since Nov 9th, and plan to continue with that routine until October. I have weight I need to lose but my goal is to be healthier for myself and my family.

I want to have more patience. If you ask anyone who really knows me they will tell you I am probably the most impatient person they know. I don't like to take my time with things and really struggle when people take too long. I get overly anxious and frustrated. Now that I have a 3 yr old and a 9 mo old I need to learn to be patient with them and understand that they learn from me.

This is both business and personal related but, I would like to be more organized. I want to have my home better organized and put together by the end of the year. Right now everything just goes somewhere to stay out of the way and I really would like everything to have its own place. It will take me every bit of a year!

I want to give back more, whether it be my time, donating toys or clothing, etc. I need to find a way to give back. I feel like I have been beyond blessed with everything I have in life that it is my turn to pay it back. I also want to start teaching my oldest to give back as well. I think she is finally at a good age to start understanding the importance of giving back.

Business:

Like I said before I need to become more organized. I switched back to Etsy because it was becoming a challenge to keep up with everything on Big Cartel's old order system. Things were a serious mess last year. Since it is Jan 01. I will be starting today and continuing here on out to keep records to help make things more efficient for everyone.

I want to focus on Lola Wraps. 2012 was a whirlwind of emotions caused by other businesses. I think Lola Wraps took a huge hit and my self esteem did as well. It has taken me every bit of 11 or so months to get to this point and understanding that I don't do this for anyone other than my family. Positive attitudes and kindness will be my 2013 goal!

TWOTHOUSANDTHIRTEEN

Whoa! 2013 already?? What the heck happened to 2012? This year marked some big milestones for Lola Wraps and I couldn't have done that without the help of you all! I have been truly blessed! Because of Lola Wraps I have met some truly amazing women. These women have been such an inspiration and blessing to me.

I am making a few small changes to Lola Wraps come Jan 1 and I think you will all find them exciting! If you hadn't noticed I made the switch back to Etsy, and seriously love it! It will be our new home for all of 2013. You can check out my shop here. So on to the BIG change! Are you ready???  My goal is to make my products as affordable as possible while maintaining the best quality you could possibly find. After crunching some numbers and doing some serious thinking I have decided that starting Jan 1 I am lowering prices on every single one of my wraps! YEAH! No your eyes are not deceiving you!

While that is awesome news it is not the best part. I am making 2013 my year to give back. I have been given so much that it is my time to give to others. For every 1 wrap sold I will be donating $1 to the USO. The USO is a  nonprofit, congressionally chartered, private organization that supports the our troops. Being prior service Army and having an Army husband I want to give back to those that do so much for are military men and women and their families.

I have so many new things planned for this next year, and I cannot wait to share all the details at a later date! I hope everyone was able to spend the last few days surrounded with their loved ones and soak up this holiday season!

XO,
