You are a true inspiration Kim! I am pretty sure I am over my post birth hormonal stage…yet I find myself tearing over your blog post today. Love how truly modest and thankful you are for everything. Have a great time celebrating this weekend. You deserve it 🙂
So thankful about your father! A blessing for your entire family.
Happy (belated) Birthday Kim, you are an inspiration to us all! Especially to mums who have a business to run and look after their family…. wishing you all the best!
I loved reading that list! My favourite is the assistant that does your laundry – awesome!
Kim!
What a beautiful post to be sooo thankful for. I have watched your company from the early stages and LOVE every detail. The first post I ever saw on your site was the Dreamers into Doers trip to NYC. Although, I had been in business for sometime after reading it, you were the one that gave me HOPE. Fast forward a few years and I can gladly say I was a DREAMER who was blessed enough to go to NYC this past March. Well heck I was estatic when you became a fan of my business page 🙂 Keep inspiring, dreaming, doing and believing… ♥ Val {Greyson Design}
One of my favorite Quotes:
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. -Maya Angelou
LOVED THAT! I am Thankful for YOU! – You are one of my Examples that I watch & learn & grow from… xo
Love You!!!!!

You are so awesome! I love hearing all about the good stuff that is coming to you! Happy Birthday Kim!!!
Amazing post, Kim! Congratulations on all of your success – you deserve it! Even now, rubbing elbows with Pottery Barn Kids, Martha Stewart, & HGTV, and more, you remain beautifully humble and thankful and you are such an inspiration!! I hope you have a great vacation & a {belated} happy birthday!!
Kim,
First, Happiest of Birthdays to YOU!
Second, just a quick comment regarding your dad,. My dad was diagnosed around Christmas and came out with no trace of cancerous cells! Hes 72 years old and has always been very healthy. He did 8 weeks of radiation and at his first 6 month post dr appt dr said it appeared that they had gotten it all. Prayers for the same quick return to health for your dad!
