If you happen to go shopping this weekend, keep your eye out for my little brother’s line of kitchen appliances! He is the master creator behind Bella Appliances.

He sent me this picture. It’s a Bella display that is now up at Macy’s. I’m so FREAKING PROUD of him that I had to share! Getting your product into major retail stores, let alone a WHOLE LINE of your products is almost impossible. (But he’s a climber too–one of my heroes.) This photo inspires me to keep going for our own Me Ra Koh line in retail stores! Why can’t the impossible be possible for any of us!

Super proud of you Shae! You continue to inspire me. Love you!

your big sis

AND, I’m SUPER excited about Monday’s blog post. While we were in CA, we had new family portraits taken of us. Brian and I are dying to share them with you. We’re so excited about them. Brian and I thought it would be fun to have you vote for your favorite one, and somehow we have winners who get some kind of prize. You’ll see! Check it out tomorrow morning! You don’t want to miss these photos! 😉 And if anyone talks to Carey Schumacher, another one of my heroes, make sure you tell her to check these photos out. She really doesn’t want to miss them!
