In honor of National Sibling Day, I want to take a moment to celebrate two of my greatest blessings—Nina and River 💛
These two have been part of That Mattress Place since the very beginning in 2017. At just 12 and 13 years old, they became our very first “employees.” They helped unload mattress trucks, set up the showroom, volunteered in the community after Hurricane Harvey, and were even (lovingly) recruited as models for our social media campaigns.
They truly were part of the backbone of this business, and I want them to know how incredibly proud and grateful I am.
As we prepare to close our doors, I hope what they take with them isn’t just the memories—but the lesson of what it means to work hard, build something from the ground up, and keep going even when it’s tough. That kind of entrepreneurial spirit can’t be taught in a classroom.
And while this chapter is coming to an end, I believe this wholeheartedly—failure isn’t failure if a lesson is learned.
Love,
Mom 💙
