Unfortunate News = The Beginning of A Great New Era!!

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Original Post @ Foundation Studio.ca

Hey there! I hope you are having a great week thus far.. Our week over here has been good - busy, but good..

So, as to drag out the obvious, I will get right to the news of this post;

Seeing as though I am a positive person, I will start with the good (Glass half full) point of view.

The Good News

I am going back to school - College actually.. after a lengthy decision making process, my family and I came to the realization that this would be a great step to help me solidify my career, update my skill set and in turn, service my clients even better :D I applied to a leading College in the Marketing field and after a lengthy application and waiting process, I have been accepted to start at the beginning of January!!

Before I go any further, I do want to stress that I WILL STILL BE OPERATING FOUNDATION STUDIO - there is no question to that - I love my clients and the variety of projects I get to work on and that is part of the reason I am heading back to college - to get updated with all the newest technical, trendy and current marketing methods and practices; to service you better.

The ONLY thing that will change will be our hours of operation - what that will look like will be determined by my schedule and once I receive it, I will let you in on the details too!

The Unfortunate News

Seeing as this acceptance was somewhat out of the blue, a large plan is going to have to be set aside; The Work From Home Expo is being cancelled. I cannot at this time, give the WFHE the attention it deserves and as many of you know, I don’t go through with something unless it is with all of my engines a flame!

I hope you understand and continue to stick with Foundation Studio as you have in the past. I have some great stuff up my sleeve - and you better believe I’ll be sharing all of the tips and tricks that I learn from College with you!!

Cheers to a new beginning or should I say…

A refreshed future!!!

A Camping We Will Go…

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Howdy! Hope you are having a smashing week! :D

We are preparing to go camping.. in the midst of one of THE busiest times I’ve ever encountered - we are throwing it all to the wind and going camping 4 hours away! :S

This is the very first time we’ve been camping with the kids - read - in 8 years and it should be tons o’ fun! We have a mini tent city - a double tent with tunnel connector and boot lockers - one sider will be zip tied shut so as to thwart any mid night strolls on the part of the kids (8 & 4) and we will be in the other side.

When Hub & I got married 5 years ago, we had already been together for 4 years, so we had everything - everything but camping gear so we registered at Canadian Tire (BEST thing we’ve ever done!) and scored LARGE! Sleeping bags, lanterns, deluxe cutlery set, Tfal camping pots and so much more!! We’re finaly putting it all to good use!

We are heading to Bon Echo Provincial Park and will be there from Friday morn to Monday aft.. with a four hour drive to and fro..

We have the camp meals planned, breakkie, lunch, dinner, s’mores.. (notice s’mores is in it’s own category ;) ) we are airing out the tent city as we speak and we’ll be washing the sleeping bags and getting all the rest prepped before we leave.. all this I expected..

What I did not expect was the planning and last minute rush of tying up loose ends.. deadlines still need to be met and clients still need to be taken care of and what’s worse about this is about 5 biz days after we come back - we’re leaving again for another week at our annual cottage!

I can tell some of my clients are less than superbly excited for me and a part of me wishes that I could stay and work, but I need this regroup you know?! With all the stress and financial disaster heading our way we have to hunker down and prepare.. that means budget vaca followed by free (paid for by Grandma) vaca.. time away..

I am truly looking forward to the binding I will have with my itty bitties - something we have not had in a while and that in itself is worth that dreadful feeling I get when I prepare myself to tell yet another client I am on my way to vaca..

Where are you going this year for vaca? How do you prepare and what are your fave memories of your own family vaca?! Do tell..

See you soon!!
A
