I have lived in Little Rock most of my life- I took a sabbatical to Dallas, TX to graduate college from SMU- some of the best days in my life were spend in Dallas. Living in Dallas helped me realized I lived in the best city in the world. Little Rock is just the right size, and the people are just enough nice. I love this city, and decided I wanted to make my entrepreneurial career to make it even better, which brings me to my first big girl venture on my own. For the past three years, I have been the General Manager of Wild River Country (yes, I got three really expensive degrees in Finance, Mathematics, and Economics so I could run a water park). I have worked there since I was 15 years old, and have loved it the majority of the time. It has been very taxing at times, but I have made some of the best friends of my life. In my ten years at the water park, I have learned many things about running a business efficiently and effectively-I have also learned what not to do. I have had successes and failures. One of my major successes has been the bricks of my current business venture- Whippersnappers. In three years, with the help of very wonderful people, I have more than tripled the Retail Sales department of Wild River Country with simple changes. I am not classically trained in anything retail, but I am classically trained in business administration and have excellent taste which I can attribute to my wonderful grandmother.
Whippersnappers is more than just a Children's boutique. It is a visionary confectionery, toy store, and clothing store. We are in the business of children's happiness. I could spend days talking about my childhood, and my lack thereof but for time's sake just know I barely had a childhood. So this is my chance- I want to be a big kid again, and make a business out of it. We believe in empowering children to do amazing things, and love life. I am still in the planning and building stages, but will be blogging about my experiences and what you have to look forward to. I feel very fortune and super excited about this venture, and can't wait to serve you.
Here goes nothing...
I have never been much of a creative writer-I really just tell it how it is. I guess that is what makes me witty, which is my friends' way of saying I'm flat and dry but sort of funny. So basically- just pretend I'm super witty.
Before I go, there are a couple other main characters in my life you need to know. My first babies are the most adorable furry rug rats you will ever meet- they are full of spirit and love. Porkchop (black), Zack (gray), and T-Bone (white) are often the topic of my conversations.
Last, but not least, the number one love of my life is Tripp Weaver Piwetz- King Whippersnapper. He was born March 18, 2012 which was the best day of my life. He is full of smiles, love, and fun. Isn't he so handsome?
Thanks for humoring me. I look forward to keeping you updated on my new and exciting venture. Let's see how this goes...
