McKenna Gordon - we met again

So since my friend McKenna is having a google search popularity competition with some other McKenna Gordon on the WWW I thought I’d put her name in as the title of this post for extra good measure. And of course brownie points with McKenna. ;) And I must also preface this post by saying that McKenna did not solicit me to write anything about her company. I just want to promote it because I love it!!!

I wrote a little bit about McKenna during my bloggy birthday bash so I’ll repost a little something from that post here:

A long time ago, when I was about 13 I had a good friend named McKenna. We were both rather entrepreneurial and played around with many business ideas. We both crocheted and decided we were going to start a crochet business. We even came up with a name, The Crafty Co-op. Well, McKenna ended up moving away soon after and with that went our business aspirations and our friendship. We lost contact and I hadn’t seen or heard anything of McKenna until about 7 months ago, when lo and behold I found her mother’s blog. Who knew the internet could be so small? It was great getting back in touch with McKenna through email and through reading her own blog and pretty soon I found out that McKenna’s entrepreneurial ideas had only flourished throughout the years.

So McKenna started her own company Urban Botanic which is a really fun concept, especially if you love divine scents for your home and body. She’s made local TV appearances promoting her company and has worked really hard to get it going. I think she’s amazing and I was so thrilled to get to see her again after 13 years.

My friend Michelle was thrown a surprise baby shower while she was out in UT and I contacted McKenna on facebook to see if she could come, since she also knew Michelle for a bit before her family moved. I’m so glad she made it! Here’s a pic of the three of us together:

Michelle is on the left, McKenna in the middle and me on the right. It was so great to see you again McKenna!
