A typical day in your life:
After dropping my daughter off to preschool I head to our facility where typically granola is already in the midst of production. I check to make sure all is going well then tend to a few emails organize orders and work on things like planning and ordering. Later in the morning, I jump in to help with packaging or snack production. After picking my daughter up later in the afternoon, I try to spend some time with her. After finishing up any loose strings at work, we head home & spend time as a family- eat dinner typically accompanied by a game of Uno. After my daughter is in bed sometimes I do a little work on my computer or just chill with my husband.
