A Lucky Encounter.....

I don't collaborate with other business's for "free" product, or discounts. I do it because I enjoy it. Everything about it. Taking pictures, promoting working moms, promoting stay at home moms, promoting husband and wife teams working hard, promoting small business's putting all of their blood, sweat and tears into their products, and everyone else in between. I love writing blog posts, and sharing with all of you about these awesome companies you may have never heard of, and it's hard work!

The girls and I have been very lucky to have come in contact with an amazing business. I am excited to share them with you. I am very mindful with the business's I choose to work with and promote on my blog because I am sharing them with all of you. I choose clothes I would wear or my girls would wear and products I would use at home. I trust and believe in each and every company and their product. However, the one I am sharing in this post is special.....here's why.

Last week I was so fortunate to come into contact with Romari For Kids. We had exchanged a couple of e-mails and I was so touched when the owner, Gaby, mentioned the loss of my dad. My dad was so incredibly special to me, my family and everyone he came in contact with. Although it is approaching 3 years since the passing of my dad, there is not a day that goes by that I don't miss him, or think about him. For someone who has never met me, knows nothing about my family, myself or my dad, but sends their condolences and kind words for the loss of my dad just from reading a blog post, is a special person.

I know talking about death is a sensitive subject, its uncomfortable, and we don't like making people sad or cry. However, it means so much. A simple, quick mention of a loved one means more to one person then you could imagine. We are always sad on the inside when it comes to missing a loved one, we always think about them, miss them, and cry for them. So just you mentioning their name, or a memory about them, didn't make us sad, trust me. Even if we shed a tear, the thought of our loved ones brings a smile to our face.

Long story short, Gaby touched my heart, in more way then she knows. Small business owners like her, are where we should be shopping. People that care about others, genuine shop owners, where you are not just a number but a name. Please support Romari for Kids. They have the sweetest clothes from infant to 5/6T and the material is so soft! Don't forget to mention Sweet and Stormy Life at check out!
