New Beginnings

I've been lazy about blogging lately. All my free time has gone from being an internet junkie to keeping busy with the new business. I sure am loving it though. I feel like I have something of my own...I am contributing to my family in a way that I haven't been able to do in a long while...and I am really having fun.

In other news, my little Red Beast is having her final day of preschool this week. She will have 2 weeks off and then off the kindergarten. My eyes well up every time I think of it. How am I grown up enough to have an elementary school kid?? When did that happen?

So this week is full of shopping for school supplies, new shoes the whole works. Dan is silently staring at his empty wallet trying not to grimace. But it should be fun. I LOVED shopping for school stuff. I hated the school part, but the new shoes and clothes and a fresh box of Crayolas? Hell yeah!

I remember being in first grade and I had my first pencil and used it until it was down to a tiny little nub because I was too scared and embarrassed to use the pencil sharpener. Introvert? You think?

What do you remember about starting school?

Big News!

I have been so busy this week! I have some exciting news to share with you. I have decided to start a home business. Dan and I have been looking into several different opportunities and this one just fell into our lap. After alot of prayer and talking and debating we have decided to go full speed ahead and start my own Arbonne business.

I had never heard of Arbonne before a few months ago. My sister in law, Tiffany told me I just HAD to try Arbonne's skin care line because after 3 days of using it, one of her wrinkles was gone. I blew her off. Until the other day I met a woman by the name of MaryJane in line at the pool on the Marine base. We were both there to sign our kids up for swim lessons. She has twins who are the same age as Red and so we hit it off. She mentioned that her husband (a Marine) was retiring from the military and was pursuing a career in flying elsewhere. She briefly mentioned that she works from home too.

Anyway, after chatting and getting to one another a little, we decided to make a play date with our kids. The she hopped into her white Mercedes and drove off, leaving me wondering, if her husband is a Marine pilot like mine then HOW do the drive a Mercedes.

I pestered her for a while and learned all I could about what she does (Arbonne) and have decided to venture out in it as well. I won't pressure you to hear any more, but I just want to share with you my excitement. I'm gonna be busy in the next few weeks, so pray for me, cross your fingers for me and I'll share more with you as I learn more.
