It's been a few weeks, I figured it was a good time to come up here and share an update.
As a stay at home mom of two beautiful little girls, I opened WonderBox365 in October of last year to provide an easy convenient gifting service while also being able to provide income for our family while I'm home with the kids.
While we have been more successful than I could have imagined starting up, partnering with other small businesses to create a successful environment with all, it is with a heavy heart that I believe it's time to let it go.
The inflation wrecking havoc over America right now, is really wrecking havoc in our household. Trying to raise two small children with the rising prices of necessities, food, clothing; and while it may seem silly to give this up when we need to be rising more now than ever, my mental health has completely tanked.
Not only do I feel like I've let my partners down (I haven't, and I know they still love me of course) I feel like I've also let my family down. I'm surrounded by items taking up space, creating clutter, aggravation, and ultimately we just don't have enough business for me to continue to invest my time, efforts, and little $$ when we have to figure out what our next grand step in life is about to be. We don't have a very big support system for our girls either so trying to be as active in events this season, with monies running out quicker than ever, is just not putting us in a good spot as a family.
With all of this being said, I will be offering deals over the next couple of weeks in hopes to clear out my inventory. Shipping will be added onto these orders as it is not a nicety I am able to offer anymore. We have had tremendous success with this business, I am so proud of myself and my husband. I'm proud of our children for all of the hours they gave me to work on this at home with them. I'm thankful to every single customer that has chosen us to fulfill their gifting needs, and while I wish we could be celebrating our one year business-versary and all of the things I had hoped for the future, we will figure something else out. I only had $250 when I started this, and it has sustained itself. It has been a blessing.
The website is no longer running, I closed it down as it wasn't offering revenue but costing what we barely have to keep afloat. So if you're here and you're reading this, and you have the ability to see us off, stay tuned the next few days and help mama go out with a bang π₯
I will end this saying that I put my very best foot forward trying to create something from scratch for my family, I laughed, I celebrated, I've cried and I've cursed. But I swear I'm just so glad I did it for myself. Y'all take care, and mental health matters ππ
Thank you all SO MUCH π₯Ίπππ
