Earth Day Festival

This past Sunday was St. Louis's Earth Day Festival at Forest Park. This was the event that debuted Molberi products to St. Louis a year ago. Of course we had to be there again this year. Just for fun if nothing else! And we did have fun and made some good sales as well :)

Our booth was in the Art section and that was actually a bit far from where the 'center' of the festival was. But we were near the Pet section, the Port-a-Potty and the small live stage so we got foot traffic. The morning was off to a bit of a rough start because it was extremely windy and everything we set up on the table kept blowing away. We also had many more products than last year and our table was too small! Finally in the afternoon things fell in place and product display looked great and people stopped by to check them out, buy something, grabbed a brochure and joined our raffle.

It was so much fun because we received a lot of attention and also due to our great volunteers who are our friends and the significant others. They came to give a helping hand and manned the table with us. Thank you everyone for your kind support!

Mr.Noodles - the unofficial Molberi mascot

Meet Mr. Noodles - my puppy. I've grown up with pets all my life but never had one that was truly mine. Mr. Nooldles is a Schnoodle that my boyfriend, Ryo, and I gave each other as our Christmas presents last year. Mr. Noodles wakes up at 4 am and my life now evolves around this little puppy. But he's been a real joy. Playing with him is the most relaxing thing ever and I think my best friend and Molberi CFO, Arvan, would agree. We went to a party at a friend's house and brought Mr. Noodles along. He was so excited and happy and played wayyy too much. When the night was coming to a close, Mr. Noodles started falling asleep on Arvan's lap. I guess we might have been able to let Arvan take Mr. Noodles home and I could get a sleep in the next morning. Oh, well :)

Pets can teach us a lot about happiness. First of all, they make us happy because they see the world in a much different way than humans do. The simplicity of their world reminds us that life doesn't have to be so complex and difficult. Happiness is just about napping, enjoying good food, biting your humans when you want to go out, run really really fast on the grass and roll around on the carpet. Simple happiness = full tummy, a good run, sleep and friends to play with.
