Endings and beginnings
A free week in Costa Rica...heaven in part to be sure but a bittersweet trip all the same. Tim and I just returned from the annual Discovery Toys incentive trip to Costa Rica. Such an amazing country with so many adventures at your fingertips. We enjoyed zip lining through the trees near a family of monkeys and days of leisure at the pool not worrying about naps, baths and who was hungry when. This was my 4th incentive trip to go on and sadly, my last. While I am very excited about moving forward with the toy store and loving how so many pieces are falling into place so easily, it was sad to share the news of my leaving with those I care about. I know the news was a major surprise to many and I appreciate so many of them sincerely happy for us and wishing us the best. Major changes like this always show you who your true friends are and I'm so blessed to see firsthand how many dear friends I have. Now to let a few more people in my Discovery Toys world know the news and help them transition and then full steam ahead back to toy store planning!

I had a very fun day today putting fliers lots of places asking people to please pop on the website and take the quick 15 questions Start Up Survey. In the past 24 hours, there've been 24 replies which is a great start! Thank you to all who responded already! Any help you have in sharing this link would be great. Please include it in newsletters, emails to friends asking them to help us get this store started, on your facebook page, etc! My goal is 200 responses within 2 weeks and I know with your help we can do it! Thanks again!

Primary Market Research
It's time to see what our neighbors near and far think about their toy buying habits and if they might consider shopping at our new toy store. I've created an online survey for people to answer questions to help us do our primary market research. I plan to share this survey with my Discovery Toys customers and team as well as share the site info with my hair salon, chiropractor, gym and anywhere else I can think of. If you would also please pass it along and ask others to take it, that would be fabulous! Thanks!
