May is For the Mothers: Honoring Motherhood & Mompreneurs
Dear Changewear Family,
Welcome to May! As our bodies enjoy more days of sun and our eyes take in all the glorious blooms, we turn our attention to celebrating mothers.
Mothers are superheroes. They support others, give always, and continue to find ways to pursue their dreams and make things happen. This month we hope to share stories and ideas in the spirit of honoring mothers and incredible mompreneurs (mom entrepreneurs).
As our founder, Michelle, is a mompreneur herself, she wanted to share a special message with all of you. Scroll down to read more.
With Spring here and fragrant breezes filling the air, I am reminded of May Day, Mother’s Day and a month before the summer break. As a Mother, entrepreneur and cancer survivor I am so grateful for a time that celebrates all three in one beautiful month.
When I started Changewear, it was with the comfort that I would be able to bring our products to market and take care of my family. Well, both have come true. It has been messy, an adventure and yes, really stressful. Dreams are worth chasing, tackling and pushing uphill both ways!
I also would not be where I am today if my sister and co-parent had not been by my side over the last four years. We raise seven children together, now ages 6-14 and have learned to manage our messy lives and build our futures.
I recently visited with an inspiring woman, mother and entrepreneur following her dreams. I am pleased to introduce Heather Shriver Burns.
Heather has amazing stories, hustle and a huge heart ( she spoke with me for an hour and with two little children and a 2-month baby, I am grateful for her time).
As a token of my appreciation, I sent her my very favorite gift to give by Hannah Rogge. I love these rainbow books that give me an opportunity to make my gratitude a visual reminder of my beautiful life! Here is a link to purchase one or tell your children you know the perfect gift they can give you!
With love and gratitude,
-Michelle, Founder & CEO
