Exactly what the title says.

Here I am. I am trying something... I do that a lot. My goal is to have Amelia's Baby Boutique up and running by September, or sooner.

I suppose I should lay a little background about myself. I have a degree in elementary education, but not a career directly in my field. Teacher positions can be very competitive in my part of the country. So I keep plugging, with the occasional hit. Sooner or later, or never, or tomorrow, or when God decides it's right. That's what I keep telling myself.

I'm currently a day care teacher, so I teach little people. They are all so smart and special! My job can be so draining and so rewarding, but it just kind of depends on the day. The biggest perk of my job? Being a mom to a young child, I can work and still have my baby girl close. Amelia was born in November of 2008. She is such a joy, and being a parent has taught me so much. She is the inspiration for Amelias Baby Boutique... but I think that was obvious!

These factors help define me and will play an enormous role in my Boutique. As teacher, expect children's literature, resources for parents, and plenty of information. As a mom, expect honesty, care, cloth diapers, breastfeeding support, etc. I'm also hoping to have personalized decor, boutique quality clothing, bath and body gear, gift baskets... we'll just have to see!
