Hello friends,
It has been a few weeks since I have been here and poured out my heart. Did you miss me?Ā I am grateful to know that as I have been more consistent in my writing my audience keeps growing! ā¤ To be authentic in the searching and grasping at straws. If you are at all like me, you probably follow a few blogs who are all put together. They are clean and simple, streamlined and full of places to click on brimming with information just waiting for you. I like one particular one that is so clean and bright, I feel happy and motivated just visiting it. Others are cluttered and can have a judgy tone; over time I visit those less and less. I usually scour blogs for what I am going through. Currently I am a full time Mom who also home schools my children. Recently I got into a new way of eating, shoot, its a whole new way of living! So I look for websites and blogs that can help me school my children better, eat the keto way, and how to balance life. With so many choices and voice I get overwhelmed simply looking. I often rely on a personal recommendation that will make it worth my while. Which leads me to my point.
What is my little blog about? I have so many interests, passions, and obsession not to mention I seem to always have a lot to say on the subject of women and our emotions to things. Haha Their simply is not enough time in the day to get it all out. And how do I narrow it down to be a blog only about “X”? I started my blog just to have a space where I could air out my thoughts to dry.Ā Recently I have felt the urge to stretch myĀ entrepreneurialĀ muscles could flex again. I enjoy working and making money. Since I have been a stay-at-home Mom for the last 10+ years I have tried many ways to do this. Some have been very successful(one venture had me making $1200 a month on average after just 2 years of working at it) while others have fallen flat on their face.
Well, I gotta figure that if I’m all over the place, their has to be at least a few hundred people who are “all over the place” as well. š I do hope that when you read my posts and visit the websites I recommend, that it is an experience that enriches your life and leaves you feeling encouraged. Sometimes I feel better just reading about someone elseĀ who is falling apart. š It helps me not feel alone. Raising kids, whether perfectly healthy or “adjusted” or not, is a freakin hard job. A mother’s brain never turns off. We never stop thinking about our children. We never stop worrying or working on improving the quality of their lives. Its an even more all-consuming job when you home school as well. I am still very much in the “my lap is always full” part of life. And I try to savor it all. Well, I don’t savor the arguments or the yelling, but the hugs, the love notes my girls give me, the delight on the face of my struggling reader who finally reads a sentence with no assistance. Those are the moments I am grateful for to be there.
Every choice we make as Women, Mother’s, Businesswomen, friends, Teachers, ALL of them have a trade. We all have to fit our life choices in the same 24 hours/7 days a week. I find that I let distractions keep me from experiencing the joy of this struggle more often than I’d like to count.
And I don’t know if its my age or that I’ve been a parent for 11 years and a homeschooler parent for 4 years, but I feel restless to contribute financially to my family. I have always enjoyed helping people. All my jobs I have ever had I feel have been ultimately about making people happier and healthier.Ā When I worked at Starbucks, I absolutely loved pairing my customers up with the perfect blend. When I worked in a bookstore, I loved helping people find “their” section and make recommendations that were perfectly suited for them. When I worked for Herbalife I loved helping people go from seeing food as the enemy to being fuel for their beautiful body.Ā To me, making money should be a sign that you are offering real value to another human being and enriching their lives.
We all go through our days making recommendations on movies, books, places to eat, sales to shop, makeup brands to buy. I love being turned on to something I truly need as well as discovering something new that I didn’t know I needed!!! Recently I addedĀ TWO things to my life that have not only improved the quality of it but have opened doors for me to provide financially. I first tried Norwex Envirocloth because a friend was running a promotion and it was a week where I could make it work in my budget. I was giddy cleaning around my kitchen because all I had to do was wipe. I didn’t have to spray a cleaner and wait, or spray and then get a bunch of paper towels and scrub. It was like magic in my hand. Then I tried it on my microfiber couch. Of course my daughter had just decided to write with pen her name all over the arm rest. I got my envirocloth wet and with a light scrub it came off!! Magic!!! Then I tried the laundry detergent. I was doubtful that the small amount I was given would be adequate. My kids really know how to seek out all the dirt and food and apply it to their pants. But I did a load and again Magic! All the stains were gone and I used so little detergent! And they smelled fresh without any fragrance! How did they do that? So last month I jumped in and decided I could sell this brand. Its a brand I can get behind 100%. The mission of reducing chemicals in the home AND the environment. If you know me, you know I love trees.Ā I love Nature and do my best to take care of it by recycling and being conscientious about what products I use and the effects on my environment. Norwex has been awesome in saving me money. I use the body cloth to remove makeup at the end of the day. Just a bit of water and all of it is gone, leaving my skin feel smooth and clean. I LOVE that feeling don’t you? I will provide the link at the bottom of this post for my website. I will gladly come clean your house in front of 20 or so of your friends with all my Norwex gear if your local. If you live out of the area and want to do a party and learn all about these amazing products, I can do that too!!! Facebook parties are super fun and their is no limit to who you can invite which means their is no limit to your hostess rewards!! Yay!
The second thing that I can’t stop talking about is mushroom coffee but I am going to put that in a separate post. Coffee deserves its one post don’t you think? š
