I am so psyched! This is the month that I am going to start taking my business seriously. For those of you who have known me for years, you know that I have been the woman of many ideas. I am the chronic entrepreneur. My husband and I have owned a photography business, doing digital before anyone was doing digital (taking Santa & Easter bunny photos in two mall locations). I then evolved into a Creative Memories business, teaching people how to protect, and document their lives-- loved that, still do it, just not as a business. I then had a fantastic idea to open a "Sno Ball" kiosk in a mall-- not cost effective to run in a mall, and toooooo much competition from roadside sno ball shacks in good ole' Baltimore. I may yet repeat that idea on an unsuspecting and Sno Ball deprived Southern California audience-- more to come on that one, I am still mulling it around in my head. I have sold jewelry, then purses, from the lovely line called Beijo. I have beautified the skin of many with Arbonne, while I like the product, the whole skin care, home party thing just didn't rev my engine. All the while, behind the scenes, I have been making jewelry for fun. Occasionally I will sell a piece because someone loves something I am wearing, and I will custom make one for them. I have never had enough confidence in my ability to call myself a designer, I just make jewelry for fun, right? Well, I have decided in this new year, that my designs are really nice, and it is selfish to not share them. So I have decided to start selling my jewelry, along with a line of jewels that I absolutely love (Stella & Dot) at home trunk shows and boutiques. I can't wait. February is my break out month. So friends! Wish me luck! Keep checking out this blog for new designs. By all means if you live far from me and cannot get to one of my trunk shows-- feel free to call me or email me and order something from the blog. I'll even ship it for free! Pray for me too, please, for my energy, and creative eye, for faithfulness to keep pushing even when things aren't going smoothly..... I so appreciate your prayers!
Summer is a wonderful time if you have the luxury to stay home with your kids and enjoy the slower pace. Lazy days, pool time, reading, outings, and spending time at the beach is good for the soul. If you are a parent who keeps your kids home with you vs. sending them to camp--- there is also a dark side to the lazy days of Summer. I know many Moms who say loud and proud, "I can't wait till Summer!! Oh yeah! Only 3 more weeks!!, Oh no! It's over already! We need a few more weeks!!" Are you one of those? Do you say it with a straight face? Ok, maybe you are sincere. Bully for you, you win the Mom medal. Those are NOT my people. I love my kids, don't get me wrong, I really do. I love reading time, and lego time, and swimming, and picnics at the beach-- as much as any other Mom. Let's get real for a minute though. We can't play down the other side of life with kids. The constant fighting The whining The meltdowns (yes one of our guys st...
