Howdy,
This month, FFTC is celebrating our 11th birthday! When Joy, Anne, and I think about what has happened in these last 11 years, there has been so much that we have experienced.
- Getting to know each other and learning to work together. We didn't know each other at all except for what we saw online.
- Joy had a baby to give us each 4 kids!
- We considered partnering with a businessman who was a smooth talker, but ultimately his business model folded.
- We worked with a calendaring app that ultimately went under.
- We went head to head with Mom blogs and determined that we could both exist because ultimately we weren't a blog. We were a resource. We could champion the Mommy bloggers because they weren't competition.
- We hosted events.
- We went on TV.
- We went on the radio.
- Our kids got driver's licenses.
- Our oldest kids graduated.
- Joy and her family moved.
- Anne had a challenging family season.
- Gianna's dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's and the late stages of Dementia and given a terminal diagnosis.
- We traveled together. We traveled with our families. We traveled on our own.
These 11 years have been full. Lots of highs, lows, and everything in between.
And our new project: Let's Go Do Fun Stuff! This week, we met up with Matt Eicheldinger who is Instagram's Favorite
Storyteller. And I'm not even joking.
