I’m a mom of 2 kids that are just under two years apart. I run 2 businesses. Sometimes you have to let the business take the back burner. It’s just a season, things will get easier once you’re able to find your flow. Best of luck.
Yes! You are making the best decision for your family. You can always go back to being a small business owner later in life. Enjoy this phase being a stay at home mama. It is hard, but so so worth it.
I have been following you here on RU-vid for a while now. You gave me inspiration to start a new path & I’m thankful I found your channel. I wish you all the best and will definitely continue to follow you!
Im 27, and I don’t know when I’ll start a family, however, I am at a point where I am SOO focused and driven to building my small business… but where the Lord wants to go, is my direction. 💛🥰
I certainly miss your DTF content but I get it. I always find it fascinating how life makes sudden changes and how we react and adapt to them. I love your personality so I will be sticking around. Thanks for sharing Roni's info. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. Having a family is a blessing. We just got a puppy boxer because we do not and could not have kids of our own. You're awesome and don't forget that! You inspired many including myself to put ourselves out there. I look forward to seeing your new content!
I thought something was up.. 🙁 thank you for sharing your small business journey and experience. I learned so much from you and it inspired me to follow my passion and dream. I totally understand, as a mom of four they do grow up so fast in a blink of an eye. 10 years ago I started my entrepreneur journey while I had my two last children and it was so difficult and today looking back I would have done it differently. Enjoy your son and your family that’s what life is all about. ❤
I loved watching your small business vlogs but I am also interested in mom life content in general (as a SAHM myself). I'd love to learn more about what you do to earn passive income.
I do embroidery and dtf and I’m in Charlotte and I LOVE Primalgraphx for my DTF. They are the BEST!! Ive enjoyed the small business videos but understand.
I'm so sad your leaving but I understand your reasons...you only get one chance to raise each child...thats more important then anything else. And the fact you shared your lady is awesome....
Thank you for your channel! Congratulations on your little one and taking the leap in this next stage in your family’s life I know it will be worth it. Can’t wait to see what’s next with your content.
So glad you’re doing what’s best for you in this chapter and what makes you happiest! It’s been so fun watching your biz journey and I’ll be here for whenever / if you decide to pop back 💞
Wishing you the very best Lauren. I just began my small business of creating custom shirts and you were a huge inspiration behind me finally starting. Hope your next chapter is one for the books!
I’ve been following along ever since I stumbled across your channel and I am right there with you! Had my baby in October as well and I just don’t have the right motivation to continue my shop when I have this cute baby staring at me all day😂 Best of luck to you and yours with this next chapter!
wishing you the best during this time of transition, work life balance is so difficult and I'm so proud your putting your family first. Thank you so much for sharing with us your tips and business advice. congrats!
I love your channel and your inspiration. Sometimes we have to make changes that are better for our families at the “season we are in” of life. Can’t wait to see you new content in the future.
Life changes, so do priorities so big hug for you! Setting up a business myself but it comes at a price esp as a single parent so this is something I keep in mind too.
Aww lauren ivr been waiting for another video from u. Im happy youre wanting to be a stay at home momma. I completley understand that! I was a stay at home mom and i bonded with all my children. I cant stress it enough of how important that is. So happy for u. Thanks so much for sharing ur secrets with us. Wishing u the best girl!
Good luck with this new chapter! I completely understand how you feel as a teacher and small business owner turned stay at home mama. It’s a wild ride. My son is almost two and I’m still trying to get my flow back. Wishing you the best! ❤
I always wanted to stay at home and when I finally did I loved it. I ended up going back to work once they were over a year and half but it was a much needed break! Do what you want and go back and forth if need be. Good luck in motherhood and business!
😢 I'm so sad to hear that you've closed your shop & won't be making biz videos anymore, but you have to do what's best for you & your family. I've really enjoyed watching those videos & will likely watch them again in the future for motivation. I've ordered DTF transfers from you in the past & the quality was perfect. Thank you SO much for sharing Roni's information. I can't wait to see how your channel evolves with your new content of being a SAHM. Kudos to you for knowing what's best for you & your family, Lauren. That's the most important thing. Thank you for all of the past content & here's to looking forward to new content in your next adventures. You're awesome! Love ya, girly!
I totally understand you 100% on getting things together in life with family. I respect you for this change in life. You do what's best for you and your family. When the time is right for you to continue with this type of thing or something else that may come along you'll know. I will continue to follow you throughout your journey. I wish you the best with everything in life. God Bless.
I can't believe I've been following you since your teacher days. I remember thinking wow she's so bold to leave teaching... Years later I'm in the same decision space as you. Thanks for all your videos. They've been help and also made for pleasant viewing while working on all my entrepreneurial efforts. I hope to see some momma content! Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter. Enjoy!
Oh i feel you, i am a mum and have business too, and my business grow only when i have time 😅., thats most probably once in 2year 🙈. Always in support of your decisions❤
Family is always first. I’m glad that you will be stepping down to focus on the gems in your life. I will miss you and am so happy that you have helped me with my T-shirt journey. Be well.
I'm gonna miss you! Love watching you and you're so inspiring! But i do understand, be you with your child, if you can. Enjoy the moments ❤, i will still follow you ❤❤❤❤. Keep your head up❤
I just sold my handmade business two weeks ago! I struggled with the decision, but time was just a huge factor. I also just needed to remove the physical product and manufacturing part. Now I'm going to turn my channel into a place I can support other makers by doing shop reviews and promotions. I totally get it.
I’m a small business owner and I’m pregnant with my second, I’m slowly switching over to passive income and it has been the best decision as a mom and for my peace of mind. I’m happy you get to be home more with your boy!
I know exactly what you mean. However, the day will come when you can get back into the business. It may take a while, but responsibility for a little person always comes first.
So sad to see you go, we will miss you! I was just binge watching all your videos. I would totally love to see passive income videos. Looking forward to your new content.
Going to miss your vlogs so much, but you have to do what is best for you and your family! Are you going to be selling any of your equipment that you used like cameras or heat presses?
I totally get and know this feeling. I had my daughter in 2020 and my son last July. I wish I would have taken more time in 2020 for being a mom instead of working. I am now struggling to make a remote/passive income so I can do this. So beacuse i have been there, i want to 1st ask, how are you? Are you doing better than ok? I struggled with Postpartum Depression as my heart and head were fighting with the mom/work life balance. Second, congratulations on achieving your desires of a staybat home mom. Thrid. Make sure you still make Lauren time. Best of luck. I will miss your videos ❤
Business is hard. Not easy to make a profit especially in this bad economy. I've had a business for 25 years and it's not easy. Ups and downs. If you can't hire anyone to help you then it means your margins are very thin. Sometimes you can sell a lot, but you don't make a good profit and it's not worth the time. Good luck to you and have a great time raising your little one.
I would have loved to hire someone but I just simply don’t have the time to interview, train, create systems and structure, etc. just not where my passion is at the moment
does the same rule apply- that if we purchase the transfers - we can then sell them after that? Meaning- if I buy a tee shirt at walmart and then buy the transfer for the shirt and or cups from Amazon- i.e tumblers- I can sell without copyright?
If you buy the transfers from someone read their disclaimer just Incase, but all the transfer businesses I see you can buy the transfers and sell them.
Hey Cotswold and Co, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
You have to do what is best for you but, you appear to be so unhappy making this decision. Maybe you can start a new business doing digital products with a baby theme since you are a young mom.
😭😭😭 I'm gonna miss your vlogs so much, but your quality of life is way more important. I'm just curious, what is your mom doing now? Is she going back to nursing? And are you still renting out your old office space? I think you should create a lifestyle channel instead of continuing this channel. 🩷🩷🩷
