the last most poignant activity in 2013? I took the scary plunge and finished Freelancing with itison to focus 100% on Betty and Bee. This may have been the most petrifying decision I have ever made, but definitely the most rewarding. We had no idea things would take off as quickly as they have, but we are so thankful for it and all the support everyone has given us so far. 2014 better watch out, this is Betty and Bee&#8217;s year, I can feel it in my waters!
