When a Man Loves a Woman...

For many years the norm was that women would work very hard but quietly and discreetly in the background of their husband's ventures. These women for the most part would not receive any recognition from others for all they had done to help their spouse attain success. Come to think about it the only credit we girls got was the saying, "Behind every great man there is a great WOMAN!" but otherwise you heard no mention of how much of the struggle the wife had helped the man bear. So, now that things are changing and there are now great men behind great women we at Boobba Baby are proud to give one of these great men the spotlight. A spotlight that he deserves and that his wife is more than happy to share. Below you can read the story about how Debbie was able to start Baby Emi Jewelry with her husband's help.

The Baby Emi Jewelry Story

Debbie's Cambodian roots ignited a love of jewelry in her as a young girl. Cambodian tradition is to give infants gold anklets and bangles as a welcome baby gift. In Cambodian culture children are also given jewelry as gifts during special occasions, holidays and Cambodian ceremonies. Cambodian jewelry is not only beautiful but made with great quality and the pieces given to children usually are considered heirlooms. Although, Debbie's mother and aunts most definitely fueled her passion for jewelry, they did much more than that to help direct her fate of ultimately becoming a jewelry designer. Like many other families that have found refuge in the US, her family found this to be a true land of opportunity for those that are willing to work hard and were willing to educate themselves. They taught her that family sticks together and always comes before all else. They also ingrained in her that service and hard work, although it may sound cliche, are the way to seize the opportunities life presents you and make your dreams come true. Debbie's dream was to start a jewelry business of her own but for that dream to come true she first had to seize a chance that would change her life forever. For four years, Debbie and Albert attended the same college, their paths never crossed but life would not leave it like that. It was in the stars for them to meet and become the formidable pair they now are, it would take an old college roommate of hers becoming friends with him for the two meet, four years later. Debbie knew from their first meeting that in Albert she had found something very special. Albert, Debbie describes as an adorable, confident, funny, charming and assertive man that she finds to be extremely attractive and sexy! The way in which he from the beginning was genuinely interested in her and was always there to provide support truly swept her off her feet. The two married quickly by today's standard and the newlywed couple soon would take on their first joint venture. When Debbie married Albert she knew how kind and considerate he was yet his dedication still continued to surprise her. During the first few months of their marriage Debbie was still working very diligently on her thesis. Although Albert would come home extremely tired from his hectic day at the office, he would wait up with her and for her! He would help her in any way he could even if it meant going out of his way to help her edit, research her paper, or doing anything necessary to make her happy during the painful process. His love and support helped Debbie earn her masters in Community Health Education with flying colors. Debbie knew that to have someone who believed in her and stood behind her causes and dreams was such an amazing thing. His support carried her through a very satisfying and challenging career as a health program specialist where she educated children about cancer prevention. His support carried her during the hard months she was pregnant with their first child Emi. It was that same support that carried her during her last pregnancy with Chloe and while they were developing their online boutique. Owning a jewelry boutique had been her longtime dream but it would be his handling of the logistics that would help her realize it. Debbie fesses up to being wonderfully creative but hating the business side of business. Albert while juggling being a new dad, working full time at the office and attending graduate school in the evenings, still managed to find time to help Debbie build her business. He serves as "web designer" and the brains of all the business logistics. His love, help and support frees her up to dream and design. Debbie says that she is truly lucky to have him as a husband and doesn't know how she won the husband lotto. One thing she does know is that she isn't giving up this winning ticket. She with all her heart loves and adores him for how he has blessed her life and she knows that without him things would not have been as feasible. She says that their relationship empowers her, she's no longer afraid of failure because she knows he is there to catch her and not let that happen. She is thankful of all their time together, the fun they have doing the most mundane things, and even how special it feels to still put their daughters to bed together. Debbie knows that having Baby Emi Jewelry be the hit it has become is a dream come true. What Debbie now realizes is that Albert by her side to help her dream, live and laugh is much better than any dream she ever imagined! Two wonderful daughters and one successful business later, she tells me when a man loves a woman anything for her is possible! So, for you ladies out there that have an Albert by your side make sure you thank him. For those of you that haven't found your Albert remember that he is out there and sometimes closer than you think, keep your eyes out and your heart open for him. Men can be angels, great support and a woman's bestfriend we just gotta believe past their initial ulterior motives as Debbie says. So, to me when you make a purchase from BabyEmiJewelry.com you get so much more than a high-quality, glamourous, elegant piece with a trendy flair attractively packaged in a small jewelry box. What I believe you'll get is a piece that will bring great karma since each piece is handcrafted by Debbie who's heart is full of love in a home that is replete of love. A part of the joy and love the Savage family shares must get passed on with some of those Swarovski crystals?
