New Beginnings

Hello to all our valued customers and fans. I am very excited to have taken over Pretty Princess. I thought I’d write a blog to introduce myself and explain why I wanted to be a part of Pretty Princess. This is the first blog I have ever written, although I have read a few different ones. It is a lot harder than I anticipated. This is my fifth attempt at beginning. I remember from my university days that starting is ALWAYS the hardest part. Once the first couple of paragraphs were completed, the words would flow on.

So, let me start by telling you a bit about myself. I am blessed to be married to the most handsome, loving, generous, and funny man, Jordan. We will be celebrating three years of marriage this coming March. However, it feels like we have known each other our whole lives. I am grateful every day that Jordan is in my life – he is my best friend, my teacher, my cheer squad, my confidant, my mentor, and my knight in shining armour.

Jordan and I have been blessed with two beautiful and amazing children. Jarrod, our eldest, has been a part of our family for 21 months. He fills our life with laughter, love, and joy. Currently, he is obsessed with The Wiggles and our house is constantly filled with the sound of their music. Heidi, our second child, joined our little family only six weeks ago. She has already got her father and brother wrapped around her little finger. Heidi is our little princess, who we love to bits, despite the sleepless nights and loud crying. Our family may only be small but it is filled with enough love to fill the Milky Way.

One of the best things about Jordan was he was a part of an amazing (and big; he is one of six children) family. His beautiful sister in law, Cherie, was the previous owner of Pretty Princess. When I first heard of Pretty Princess, I loved looking at the stunning clothes and seeing the wide range she had to offer. Cherie did a fantastic job of starting and building up the business to be a respected and high quality brand. When she told me she was thinking of selling, due to other business commitments, I knew instantly that I wanted to buy it. So after some discussions with my parents, we decided to purchase the business together. I am looking forward to my new venture and continuing the legacy Cherie has left. I am excited to find and sell beautiful baby girl and young girls’ clothes, accessories, bedding, and toys.
