This was the right move. I've been publishing my own items for 25 years, and you really can't get very far on your own, not to mention the hard work in every step. Having a large company take over leaves you freed up to create and deliver the product and not worry about shipping and packing and retailing. You make far more at 10 percent of big, than 100% of small.

@minnescanada Good point! I always thought self-publishing was better but now I realize that was incorrect thinking :)

Wow! I can't believe how far you've come from simply wanting to stay home with your daughter to this! Okay, I believe it, but I just wanted to say that you were an inspiration to me with teaching my daughter (who now has a sizable signing vocabulary at 19 months) to now proving that the American Dream is still something we can all believe in! Congratulations!

@anthrprettyface Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I can't believe it myself sometimes :)

honestly, idk why u didnt even sign. accessible, my ass, hahah

[SmartHandsCA]

@theonlykaylasaylor I didn't sign because I can't speak English and sign ASL at the same time. If I was signing and talking then I would have been using signed English. I know the CBC does closed captioning so I didn't think about accessibility being an issue.

@StarModder Thank you very much :)

Your really a wonderful person, you created a company that actually benefits a lot of people, this is a great idea. I hope your very successful, you earned it by creating this.

@Morphesque I felt the same way watching this! I don't think I took a breath until it was over, lol. My son is 19 months and we've only recently begun signing as his expressive language is somewhat lagging (I won't say delayed just yet) and MSH video dictionary has been so helpful! :)

[ABRAHAM4EVER]

@SmartHandsCA that is so nice, your daughter has proven to be so lucky for you and so are you for her, you seem to be a very adorable person hope to see you some day maybe :)

i have always wanted to adopt a deaf baby, but first i want to teach my hearing baby to sign so when her brother comes along they will be able to talk, you have given me a way to do that. congratulations!
