Ok so here I am! Many have told me that it is beneficial and almost a necessity to have a blog page when running an online business so I thought I would give it a go. I dont know how often I will find the time to "blog" amongst my busy days of looking after 6 kids, cleaning house, running my business www.forevalilah.com and sneaking in a social life in that schedule.
I will start with a little bit about myself and how For Eva Lilah came about!
I am a Mum of 6 children 1 boy and 5 girls. I have only had 4 pregnancies though as I have had 2 sets of twins. The oldest set being 15 year old twin girls and the youngest set being 11 month old twin girls. My boy is 19 and I also have a girl 9.
For the past 20 years I have worked in accounting, I have been a working Mum all my life. After having my latest set of twins, I became determined to not return to the regular workforce, working a 9-5 job while my babies went to daycare, but instead decided I was going to do something from home so that my babies would not miss out on any time with me. For months I pondered and thought about many different ideas but nothing appealed to me. It wasnt until November 2010 that For Eva Lilah started to come about. The twins HATED shopping centres and would scream everytime I took them. It was very stressful for me so I decided I would just shop online for them for now. With Christmas fast approaching I wanted to buy a special little christmas outfit for the babies and started searching many online shops. While searching the thoughts started to flow! "There must be other Mums out there who prefer to shop online, rather than braving the hustle and bustle of crowded shopping centres with screaming little ones". "There must be other Mums out there looking for something Unique and different to dress their children in" And that is when the final decision to start For Eva Lilah was made.
So why the name For Eva Lilah you ask?
The twins names are Evaleene and Lilah. Therefore I come up with Eva Lilah!
And the "For"? Well For Eva Lilah was started "For" Evaleene and Lilah, so that they can see me all day everyday. And even the possibility that one day when they are older they can take over For Eva Lilah and have it for their own!
