The story behind The Storybook Play Cafe π«π§ββοΈ
I will forever be grateful for my family, friends and all of the amazing customers that have supported me in this journey π
Leaving a financially stable career to start my own business was (and probably always will be) the riskiest thing I have ever done.. and that's saying something when for nearly 8 years I spent every day putting myself in risky situations in the police π
And although I am taking home a LOT less (trust me, small business owners are not rolling in it in this economy π€£), I am happier, less stressed, and actually enjoy the life that I am building.
Owning and running The Storybook Play Cafe is a constant job. I am wearing so many different hats that I didn't realise even existed before opening my own small business, but with the people I have met along the way and the support that you have all shown, I wouldn't change it for the world! π
The Storybook Play Cafe has become a place for everyone to make genuine friendships and connections. To battle the storm of motherhood, parenthood and life in general with others in the same position. It has become everything I could have ever wished for and everything I needed when my daughter was still little (and honestly, still do need!)
I am so proud of myself, my team and The Storybook Play Cafe for everything it has brought to our local community π«ΆπΌ
