                                            Hello there! 👋 It’s been a while since we’ve connected. With some new faces around, I thought it was the perfect time for a quick introduction and a personal update.
Props You Up started in October 2021, specializing in luxury picnics for small events in the Springfield/Jacksonville area. To meet customer demand, I expanded my services to include backdrops and balloon arches. I’ve absolutely loved creating beautiful picnic setups and balloon decor for my clients.
In late 2022, my oldest daughter got engaged. Around the same time, I began experiencing some health issues. I made the decision to prioritize my health and wedding planning, which took place last November. As if that weren’t enough, my youngest daughter also got engaged, and we’ve been busy with wedding preparations again.
Then, in April of this year, my mom was diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Due to her mobility challenges, she’s no longer able to live independently. I moved her in with me in early May, which has significantly limited my free time after work. Balancing my full-time job, caring for my mom, and planning another wedding has been quite a challenge.
Given my current circumstances, Props You Up will be temporarily pausing full services to the public. However, I’m still open to fulfilling specific requests. If you need something particular for your event, please don’t hesitate to reach out. While it’s difficult to put my business on hold, I know it’s the right decision to focus on my mom’s needs.
So, if you see us out and about, please say hello! It would brighten her day (and mine) as we both love serving others 🫶
