Being a small business owner has its challenges. I remember when I was in elementary school & my dream was to grow up & own my own Hello Kitty store! Yes, I wanted to own a Sanrio franchise at my local mall. Times have changed &  although I am not a small business owner, I still love Hello Kitty. :) I met April through a moms group.
