When Life Gives You Busy, Make T-Shirts!

HA! Ok, yes! Life has been a bit nutty and stressful lately as many of you may have caught onto through my various posts on Instagram. (And if you’re not following me yet, WHAT!? Just kidding. But seriously, join in on the fun and follow me HERE.) You know that saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”? My brother and I definitely used to say, “When life gives you lemons, make Lemon Jell-O Cake!” (See recipes for the most delectable and moist lemon cake ever!)

Yeah, I’m stalling a little bit and jumping around. I love you guys and don’t like spreading negativity, so I get a little bit ‘yokey jokey’ when I’m blue or frustrated. SO, life has NOT given us lemons lately. Instead, life has very plainly handed us a massive ball of stress, trials and challenges. And seriously, I have had moments of complete break down. I’ll get the kids down and just let myself cry. We need that release every once in a while! To all those fellow Wonder Woman Moms out there, it’s ok to let go and cry every now and then! It’s just one of those things; when it rains, it pours! And there will be more on all of this later once I’ve had a chance to process a bit.

With that said, I wanted to talk a bit about coping. . . Yup! Life hands us some serious crud now and then. We start questioning our strength and faith and what not. It’s normal! We’ve heard the quote and I’m actually a true believer that “God doesn’t hand us anything we can’t handle”. However, it may take us a little while (or a really LONG while) to figure out the best path. We may make several u-turns, detours, or pit stops along the way.

I had taken a bit of a break from our Boutique the last few months. We were trying to figure things out, honestly. What direction are we wanting to take? Do certain things send mixed messages about my personal brand? Is this something I can actually do? Then, like a ton of bricks, . . . LIFE! It was enough to stop most people in their tracks and just break them. So, what did I do? HA! Engard, life!!! I grabbed the bull by the horns and flung myself on for the ride! And what did I come up with you ask? . . . SHIRTS!

I know, I know, I’m weird. But hopefully, you still love me! Take a few to check out our latest fun HERE. (Or, go to: https://classybearboutique.com/.) Be sure to stay tuned; there is more to come! And I would love to hear your thoughts. Our jewelry section will be going away, so if you have to have something, get it now. (Just know that a lot of our jewelry come from overseas, so it takes a few weeks.) Our garments and gifts come from the USA though! I’m trembling with mostly excitement and then a side of nerves! I want to be sure to provide you with high quality shirts (and more) with fun images and sayings. If you’ve got requests, be sure to send me a note!
