Diana Naramore, Sip and Ship Owner and CVO, is no different from other working parents - every day she’s doing her best even on the days when she feels like she's doing her worst - especially on challenging days when she has no idea how she'll get to it all, but somehow figures out how to get it done. Her secret? The help of others. She relies on friends and family, her business and life partner, Steve Naramore, and especially members of the Sip and Ship team. Because let's face it, not one of us can do it all.

Sip and Ship was designed to be your network of support - to help you get through the day. Giving you a hand; to crush short and long-term goals, move things from Point A to Point B and champion the life of your dreams. Team Sip and Ship is available whenever you need us. Whether it's to set up a mailbox- allowing you to work and live anywhere in the world, notarize important documents- giving you peace of mind, or to simply enjoy a refreshing iced latte and breakfast sandwich - creating conversation, a chance for us to learn how to become better supporters, and become a bright spot in your day.

As always, we look forward to seeing you and hope to leave you feeling glad you visited Sip and Ship this week.
