Let’s start at the very beginning; I believe it’s a very good place to start. This is a personal blog about Deliberate Fun. Deliberate Fun is the product of myself turning 29. I will explain: On my 29th birthday I suddenly came to the horrific conclusion that I am a ‘someday’ person. It is my answer to anything I want to do… “Oh I will do it someday”. At a panicky 29 years old I realised “someday” is NOW. So I made a list. I jotted down a very manageable ’10 Things to do before 30′. ‘Start own business’ was number 1. So here we are…
Firstly, a general disclaimer: I am not a writer and I do not have all the answers; these are just my thoughts, opinions and words splattered onto a screen. I am aiming for this blog to be an informal space for tips, tricks, ideas and inspiration.
I am a teacher and tutor and I work with a vast variety of children every day. My car is always filled to the brim with bags: one bag per student with all the books, toys, stationary and equipment I need for that student. I needed a solution to merge these bags…so I thought ‘A BOX’. Not a box for each student but one box with enough equipment and toys/games to work with kids of different ages and abilities. The box worked and my car is forever grateful
Some friends and colleagues saw this box and wanted one. And that was the beginning of my little box business. I worked with the amazing Solid Stuff Creative team to develop the name, logo and designs. And slowly but surely my little box business is evolving and growing.
I am excited to share some great products, ideas and perhaps the other 9 things on my list with you, but now I am off to create some Fairy doughnuts…
