Well, I think we made it because our debut at the Circle of Sisters 2013 expo in NYC was an overall success! We received so many smiles and positive feedback from just about everyone who saw our products and for us that's a tell tale sign we ought to keep going. </div>

People’s faces lit up when they saw them as the designs generated instant smiles and curiosity. It was such a pleasure to see how ecstatic women became when they saw themselves in one of our items especially if the hairstyles matched. One woman commented on how honored she felt to FINALLY see great looking “African American” representations. </div>

Special THANKS to everyone who contributed to our <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/thedynasmiles">GoFundMe</a> campaign to help make our showing a success. Vending at the Circle of Sisters expo is very expensive for any business and financially we were able to at least break even because of our strong support system. </div>

We celebrated our baby's 1st birthday this weekend and it was great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our son had fun chasing his red and orange balloons and socialized well with everyone. (Good thing mommy enforced his nap!) He also LOVED his cake!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a color theme of "ORANGE and RED" which you will see in the pics. I put a lot of time into personalizing this party and I would do it all over again for my little man!</div>

<br />
I pray all is well with your and your family, especially those of you on the east coast like me. Stormy winds, rains and now floods... still each day is a blessing! I hope in the midst of it all you can still keep your head up and smile. God bless!<br />
