A letter from my heart 🤍
This has been one of the hardest posts I've ever written.
For the past seven years, The Mom Market has been so much more than a business to me. It's been part of my family. It's grown alongside my children, and in many ways, it's grown me too.
When I started The Mom Market, Milania was just a toddler. I was a mom with a dream, hoping to create opportunities for local businesses and build a community where women could support one another.
I never imagined that one little market would become more than 30 market communities across Canada.
I never imagined we'd support thousands of small businesses, celebrate countless milestones, weather a global pandemic together, and become the only company of our kind in Canada.
Every market, every vendor, every Market Director, every venue partner, every shopper, every sponsor, every smile, every hug, every story... you have all become part of this journey.
Thank you.
Over the past seven years, life has changed in so many beautiful ways.
We've moved across three provinces.
My husband has faced major surgeries and recoveries.
We've continued homeschooling.
We welcomed our sweet little Rocco into our family.
And through it all, The Mom Market kept growing.
So did the responsibilities.
Like many small business owners, I found myself wearing every hat imaginable.
Founder.
CEO.
Market Director.
Marketing.
Customer service.
Accounting.
Event planning.
Social media.
Problem solving.
Mom.
Wife.
Teacher.
Somewhere along the way, I convinced myself that working harder was always the answer.
But this past year has taught me something incredibly important.
Sometimes growth doesn't mean doing more.
Sometimes growth means becoming more intentional.
I know some of you have experienced slower communication, delayed payments, or longer wait times than you've come to expect from us.
For that, I sincerely apologize.
As our company grew, so did the complexity behind the scenes. We began processing an incredible number of transactions every week, and over the past several months we've been transitioning banking and payment systems after dealing with repeated *c'ntd in commnts*
