They're designed to adorn eyeglasses in a fresh, fun way to help kids feel more comfortable in their glasses; it's also a way for adults to jazz up their ordinary frames.

How she finds balance:: It's a challenge to create a "balance" {the ever elusive endeavor} in both family and work, so I put my efforts in juggling and managing both the best way I can. A major reason I can work the business is my husband's concerted efforts. My husband is instrumental in helping create a healthy family and work environment - he picks up where I leave off. For the most part, we've made some tradeoffs in terms of family & home duties, so I can focus most of my energy to building Ficklets. We work very hard to develop a mutually beneficial family and business teamwork environment because we understand the end goal and mission is to build a business that would provide our special needs daughter a quality life long after we're gone.
Her best advice:: ACTION... do something everyday for your business to move you towards your end goal. Be a perpetual inspiration seeker - this will help keep you in forward movement. Embrace social media & connect with other women entrepreneurs for inspiration, education & camaraderie.
