For the upcoming holiday

Happy Birthday Preston!

         Happy Birthday!

Dear Preston, 

It’s funny when I usually think about writing letters like these my mind is flooded with what to write. Today I am short of words. 

Today you are officially a big boy! You’re 4 now that’s a big boy! Now that you are a big boy this potting thing is a must!  Happy Birthday little man. I love you! 

Love,

Mom

What I learned in my first 30 days as a Scentsy consultant

It has been just over thirty day since I started selling Scentsy! So far I can say this is going to be an awesome ride. I have already learned so much; I have learned a lot about the direct sales business, about people and about myself. I am going to share some of what I have learned in my first 30 days as a Scentsy consultant.

This isn't going to be some formal list or a great big document about everything that is great about Scentsy. All this is is a small list of the most important things I have learned! 

- This whole Scentsy business is LIFE CHANGING!

- I love this company and they love me too! 

- DS (direct sales) is more of a people business than a sales business.

- Building relationships is key.

- I can come out of my shell! 

- There may be 10,000 consultants in your area but most of them are not working their business.

- You get out what you put in.

- This is fun!

- I now get paid for my much needed mommy time. 

- I can make a lot of money doing this.

- I made back my initial investment in less than 10 days (with only 1 party).

- Scentsy can sell itself (thats how great this stuff is)

- Scentsy wants me to succeed not just because they want money but because they want to empower people! 

Like I said this is just a short list of what I have learned in the past 30 days working with Scentsy! But let me be loud and clear I love this already! 

July's Scentsy warmer of the month!

This is so seriously cute!

And now on to 1st grade!

Earlier this month my big girl finished Kindergarten... 

I know it is so cliche but it seems just like yesterday she was going to school! Looking like this and wanting to be a baker: 

A lot has changed in the past 180 (school)days... She now wants to be a vet and hates the color purple just to name a few. As a mom I wanted to document these changes. 

I decided at the end of each school year I was going to write a letter, make a list, jot some notes, not sure what to call it all about Payton and what happened during that year. So on her last day of school I asked her a bunch of questions and then wrote it all down... Payton will get her collage when she graduates from high school... Here's what this years looked like!
