We listen & we don’t judge: small business owner edition.

Burnout is real y’all. Events, orders, inventory, messages, mom life, wife life, traveling, planning, prepping, painting, designing, sickness… I will be so real with you all & tell you that September/October just about did me in. I was so booked up & so overwhelmed that I mentally shut down & instead of thriving within my business, I was just surviving from one event to the next.

POP’ular has grown into something bigger than I ever dreamed. But behind the balloons, I’m still just a mom & a wife, raising two littles, 30 weeks pregnant & potentially adopting in the same month that my biological baby is born.

Thank you all for showing me grace over the last month or so when I’ve said no to your inquiries or pointed you in the direction of another balloon artist. It has truly given me something invaluable—time to rest & recharge.

Last night I spent the evening creating this setup at Perk & at one point I sat there & realized that for the first time in a while, I was enjoying it again.
Please, don’t judge me for openly admitting this. I’m hoping this resonates with someone else out there & you will see how important it is to take a step back, put yourself first & you’ll begin to find your joy again.

Whitney & Jared will never know how much it meant to me that while I sat there airing up balloons in their coffee shop lobby, they stopped everything, prayed over me & God showed up.
God has equipped them & their business with a powerful ministry & I’ll forever be grateful for it.

I know this isn’t my typical post, but here are some photos of the balloon design where in the midst of it all, I fell in love with my craft again ♥️

Took these photos today! 19 days later— still looking fab! 🤩🖤⚡️

Sometimes the Lord works in the most unique & special ways to bring some of the most wonderful people into your life. My balloon business has done just that. Some of my friends whom I’ve only met through the balloon industry, & who became sweet customers, have reached out to let me know that they are throwing me a baby shower 🥹
This will be separate from the one that my family is throwing for me. If you are a customer, friend, fellow industry worker, etc. that I have met because of the creation of my balloon business, & you would like an invite, please comment here or send me a message! I am blown away by the love & support that you all have shown my little balloon dream, & I would absolutely love to celebrate our little baby-to-be with you as well! 🩷
The POP’ular family has a very special place in my heart 🫶🏼 I love you guys!

Don’t miss out on celebrating The Coffee Shop & Errikka tomorrow!! It’s her birthday & the shops 1st anniversary! Always so much fun to do balloons here! 🖤☕️🎂

This was too cute 🦖🦕🌴🌿🍂

It means so much to get a booking from a repeat customer! Feels like just yesterday I was setting up for his 2nd birthday! Thank you Taya Kellogg!!

Life update! ✨ Hello all!! In the past week or so I’ve been asked a few times “Hey! Are you still doing balloon arches?!”
You wouldn’t know it because I’m the worlds worst at posting— but I had almost 30 balloon events in the month of September 😅
All in the Fort Smith/Muldrow area, & all while we had just moved in a 5th wheel up to Tahlequah.
It was chaos to say the least lol
We quickly discovered between life & business & two kiddos + one on the way & me driving back & forth for nearly 80% of the month.. we had made a mistake. So, we are officially back in the area! House shopping is in full swing & I’m booked with balloon events through mid November!
If you want a grab & go option, I can squeeze a couple more of those in, or if your event is available for setup during the week, I can make that work! But very limited weekend spots left before the holidays, so just let me know your dates ASAP 💜 I love my POP’ular fam, & once again, thank you guys for keeping my business so incredibly successful. I am very busy, very pregnant, & very in my mom & wife era right now. Trying my hardest to do my best in every aspect 🫶🏼

Balloon centerpieces are so much fun 🩵🧸

Grab & gos are booking like hot cakes 👏🏼
This is such an easy option for you & I both!

A big thanks to Errikka for allowing me to be a part of such a special occasion! I think they did a fabulous job at hanging it up & getting it all situated ✨
When I left it was just sittin’ on the couch!

SURPRISE! ☺️
POP’ular is coming to TAHLEQUAH!!!
So excited for this new chapter for our family! Moving back to the place where Denton & I fell in love, got engaged, spent our first two years married in our very first home, allll of our favorite memories before the babies came along! Now we get to go back & watch them fall in love with Tahlequah too! 🤍

All of my balloon customers, don’t freak out! lol I am still booked with lots of events throughout the rest of the year here in the Ft Smith/Muldrow area. So if you’re on my books- don’t sweat!
I’ll also take 1 or 2 in the area each month if I can. But keep in mind, I will also be taking new customers in the Tahlequah area! So please let me know if you have an event you want to go ahead & book for 2024!

I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us! Love you guys! ✨

Grab & Go’s have become pretty POP’ular this summer ☺️

They are the perfect option for those on a budget, but still wanting to achieve that elevated party style✨

Super easy for each client to pick up, they’re already completely assembled & ready for set up at your event! You can twist & turn them into any shape or size that works best for your space!

They make decorating a breeze 🎈
Thank you Elena!!

Long time, no see! 😄
Yes I have been MIA on social media, but sometimes you just need a little reset! I got some much needed time with family to rest & recharge! All while staying hooked up with all of your fabulous events each weekend! Baby showers, birthday parties, celebrations— I love adding that extra little touch to your event! 🎈

I just wanted to say “hey, I’m alive” to everyone wandering 😅
I love you guys dearly & I’m so thankful to have the most wonderful customers ✨
Happy Thursday!

1st birthday setup from Saturday! 🌵🐮 Totally pleased with how my cactus turned out! I always love a good project! ✨ Special shoutout to my dad for helping me!

I love designing balloons for an organization that contributes so much to their community 💙💛❤️🩵 United Way of Fort Smith is consistently giving back 🫶🏼 Also it was a blast being back @ The Bakery District 🎈

Congratulations!!!!!!! 🥳✨🎈💕 Thank you all for your support & kindness towards both families. We raised $710. It is truly so beautiful to watch a community rally around one another 🫶🏼

Delivery day! 🤩🐣🐰🌸

Easter basket pickups start today! 🤩 I made these 3 just to promote them 18 days ago!! & this is how they look now! ✨

In my balloon boss era 🎈

🤍

I tried to fit every event I’ve done into one video but this template only allowed for 100 photos! I am HORRIBLE at remembering to post each event for you guys to see. I need to be better. But tonight as I went through my camera roll trying to make an album of all my designs, I realized there’s been several instances where my phone was dead or the client took photos & was going to send them to me, or took the design as a grab & go, etc. The only way I knew how to get a full total count was to go through my actual booking calendar. 🤯 I am blown away. Truly. Never in a million years did I think that when I started this business it would become what it has now. & this is only the beginning. I am still so new to this & learning so much each & everyday. 7 months. Over 150 events. Almost 2,000 followers. & a million memories made. I love you guys 🫶🏼

Bridal Showcase Sneak Peek!!

A sneak peek of the design I’m creating for the Bridal Showcase this weekend at The Bakery District!!! 🤩🤍💍 Come out to see all of the fabulous vendors & plan the wedding you’ve always dreamed about!!
