I’m sure none of us will ever forget the events of the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic and the repeated lockdowns affected our lives in ways we couldn’t imagine.
Personally, I experienced isolation whilst trying to homeschool and entertain two young children. But what hit me more, was how children were missing out on having a ‘normal childhood’ – going to school and social clubs, having days out at the zoo, taking swimming trips, and simply seeing family members.
If this wasn’t hard enough, lockdown also meant there would be no birthday parties for children to celebrate their milestones – having birthdays with only your household just isn’t the same.
That’s why I wanted to help make local children’s birthday celebrations more memorable and extra special.
During the first lockdown, I offered to make small balloon arrangements for non-contact collection. It put a smile on the children’s faces, and more importantly, it gave me something to do.
I found myself falling in love with balloons all over again – it gave me a purpose and a meaning to live other than being a mum (and thanks to homeschooling, a teacher too).
During this time, my skills and knowledge of balloons grew – my future was now clear, I was going to become a balloon artist and party planner!
Well done Kerry. How far you have come and how brilliant your🎈 business has become. All that hard work and been worth it. Onwards and Upwards. ❤
Thank you 🎈🎈🎈
