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…
