Building an Empire among legos and noise...

I am a little obsessed this week. My launch is Friday, and I am not so worried about that. What I am obsessing over, is doing things right. Stella & Dot basically hands you a roadmap for success. This plan is so well thought out, they give you every tool possible to build and sustain an amazing business. All you have to do, is have the right attitude, and take action. I am so excited at the prospect of building this business that I am obsessing over lists and details. Not uncommon, I think. Where I am trying to stretch myself more than ever is in the action department. Action will make the difference between whether I build a business, or just a fabulous jewelry wardrobe for my self (my husbands worst nightmare). I am trying to dedicate time to it and treat it like a job, but..... I still have my four year old here looking for lots of attention and mommy love. I pick up the phone, he starts crashing lego's, I try to compose emails, he is playing me a concert on the piano. Outside of constructing a sound proof room, and letting my four year old run wild, I'm not sure how to do this. I know it can be done, I just have to get creative. As I mentioned in an earlier post.... I need a little silence to think. Not much silence happens in my world. Any suggestions friends???? I WELCOME COMMENTS!!!! :) really, I could use some help here.

How I came to know Him

I am helping to prepare a baby shower for a young woman at our church. She is young, just 22. Thinking about her, and what the future may hold for her and her little family, got me to thinking about life at 22. Much has changed for me since I was 22. That was really a difficult time. I didn't realize at the time that it was difficult. I had graduated from college, was having a post college, pre-real life, super good time. I was bar tending, partying, picking up and traveling to far away places to party some more. I didn't really have much in the way of financial responsibility yet, and my parents were living in Egypt-- leaving me in charge of the house and my younger sister. It was an "out all night, sleep all day", kind of life. To be honest, I was setting a pretty poor example for my sister, who at the time was working full-time at a nursing home, and was far more responsible than I was. Looking back at that time, and even later, till about age 25, it make...

Quiet days of Summer- Ha!! Lol....

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...

Sunny Days

Some days I just wake up full of hope, and energy, and am excited about all life holds for us. Today is one of those days. I don't know why I feel that way, nothing is different from yesterday. The sun feels a little warmer, more people seem to be smiling, perhaps my imagination, maybe not. Tuesday is a super busy day for us, lot's of activities, practices, etc... --- so today is a good day to be filled with optimism, it will help me get through the tougher moments between 3-6pm. Driving, homework, dinner prep, more driving, all that good stuff. Thank you Lord for days like today, when my normal load, feels light. I appreciate the energy, the warmth, and the smiles. Amen
