A little about us.

I am Sarah. My husband is Kurtis, lets call him Kurt. We have 3 wonderful boys, ages 5 and 2.5 (twins!). Kurt and I have been married a little over 6 years now. We are stubborn, quirky, small town people, with big city dreams. Oh, and we're completely in love! Kurtis has been working in the screen printing and garment industry for over 14 years. I have a background in art and design. About four years ago Kurt came up with this brilliant idea, to sell men's tshirts on ebay. He quit his day job and threw himself into ebay sales. He did very well! A year later I was pregnant, very, very pregnant. "Twins" they said! I almost hit the floor. Expletives flew out of Kurt's mouth. Somehow, we made it out of the ultrasound technicians office, and into our car. We sat there in shock for an hour.

K:"How are we going to do this?"
S: "I don't know."
K:"We can't afford this!"
S: "I know."
K:"$@#&!!!"
S: "Agreed."

Months went by, Kurt worked like a dog, I blew up like a balloon. As the miracle of twins set in, and we planned a little more, we were ready for the challenge. At that point I was a stay at home mom. To save some cash, Kurt moved his screen printing business home, to our basement. We had the perfect set up. I needed ice cream, I just hollered downstairs. OK so I had the perfect set up.
Around 4 months in, I started noticing that my freakishly large twin belly was outgrowing my cute little maternity shirts. I wasn't even half way through, and I was already in the tent shirt stage. Gross. I refused to get ugly pregnant, that early in the game.

I complained about it. A lot.
Probably too much. Enough for Kurt to want to shut me up.

We went to a local seamstress and took some of the shirts I liked that no longer covered my belly. We tweaked them a bit, and had them cut longer. They fit so well, I was cute again!
Kurt took them down to the screen press, I chose a few designs we had kicking around and we screened them on the belly. I loved them. Everyone loved them.

"You should sell these!"
"Even with my single pregnancy, shirts didn't cover my belly."

Light bulb!! Ding ding ding!

K: "We should be selling these!"

So here we are. It's been 2 1/2 years since the twins were born. We have been working on this product, selling on etsy.com and ebay.com.
We have re-vamped our style, what we offer, and we are ready to take this from an online side project to a full blown home based business. We have had excellent reviews, and requests that were beyond our means. Sometimes it takes a huge push from your customers, to realize that you've got a fantastic product.
In this blog I will cover the ups and downs of business building. All of my crazy over-the-top ideas. Working from home. Working with your spouse (yeesh). And hopefully a little bit of success.

Here we go.
