Well he’s arrived! On July 14th at 1:55pm Declan Rhys Glendon Daykin was born and Simon and I co
uldn’t be happier. My little sweetheart is sitting on my lap as I type this letter to you. He’s so fun but definitely an adjustment. Hats off to all you mompreneurs out there. It’s not easy to have a baby and run a business that’s for sure! But I’m learning as I go and I’ll be sure to share what works for me and what doesn’t as I go along.
Today is also my 5 year wedding anniversary with Simon. A lot has happened in the last 5 years. It was when we were planning our wedding that I was inspired to begin my wedding planning business and we’re now in our 6th year of business and both working for the company. It’s pretty cool to look back and see the milestones of our business stack up. I’m excited to reach new highs as this year continues.
I’ve been singing Declan songs to help him fall asleep. As a big fan of musicals a lot of our lullabies are from shows and movies I watched as a kid. I’ve been singing him “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music and it made me think about what my favorite things as a wedding planner are. Plus with Declan being here I really have to say there are certain things in my business that I’m realizing I just couldn’t run it without, especially with this little baby sleeping on my lap most of the time!
Stay tuned in next week for my list of favorite things…
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara
