I started my Avon business in August 2010. I really didnt plan on doing much with it, except for selling to family and friends, and using it my own personal purchases. It is going so well I have decided to really "work" on it part time. I set my hours Tues 2-5 and Thurs 2-5 and sometimes Friday or Sat 2-5. We have been so busy with basketball the last few months, I havent worked all of those days, but I do fit in customers/deliveries in between times.

So now I have entered business school. It is not thru the community college or university, it is the school of learning by doing and learning by free books from the Library.
So my reading list is now changed and I am learning some new things about business and how to run it etc.
Here are a few of the interesting titles I have been reading in 2011.
Mompreneurs,  What they dont teach you at Harvard Business School, Microsoft Office for Dummies,  and Mommy Millionaire.

LEAH,LEAH GRUMPY DOG

Leah,Leah grumpy dog

Digs until her paws are sog

Sleeps real soundly like a log

Eats her food like shes a hog

Sometimes Mo gets her to jog

No, she doesnt have a blog

Groans like she just ate a frog

Breath smells like a yucky bog

 Yawns will make your glasses fog

Leah,Leah grumpy dog*

*In spite of this she is very lovable.

Would you like to buy her?

She is only $10 Billion(A very good price,I might add!)

the ball

its round
its orange
its
a
basketball.

they bounce it
they dunk it
they shoot it
they SCREAM and yell when they make a 3pt shot.We cheered. =-) We love it.


(It helps that the children are all
TALL
as in
"off the chart"
that's what the Dr says they are.......
but not me. I am the shortest of the bunch besides Jon and Emily and it wont be long til they pass me up.)

Thanksgiving and More

giving

AND

We have so much to be Thankful for . Well really "I" have so much to be Thankful for. Our family had a cozy and quiet day at home. In our Pajamas. Watching the snow fall. Eating yummy food. Watching Veggie Tales "Its a Meaningful Life" and Les Miserables (with Liam Neeson- not the musical). We all have been rushing around and so busy and chaotic around here it was very nice to just stay home and relax. We needed it. I needed it. God sure has been good to us.

PS- Does anybody else think that Blogger is difficult to manage with all this graphics and designs? It sure is for me....I have access to all kinds of pretty stuff, but I cant seem to be able to add them on here the way I want to...

Snow Nov 27,2010

Pretty snow in our backyard.

Recipes this year: Stuffing recipe from Last years blog post. Pumpkin Pie recipe was off the side of the Libby's Pumpkin can, it was the BEST pumpkin pie I have ever made. Apple Pie recipe was from BetterHomes and Garden Cookbook(yes the red and white one). Green bean casserole-the one with the French's crispy onions.

Fun on Friday

Well we did some school today. Greg took Caleb in the truck today, so it was my opportunity to do some other stuff besides regular SCHOOL. We did Copywork, spelling tests, and some math.

Andy , Emily and Jon and I - all of us did the KIDS WALK exercise video today. It was funny. Then we did some laundry and cleaning bedrooms. NEw Scentsy smells throughout the house. MMM Camu Camu in the living room. Winter wonderland in the downstairs, Cinnamon Bear in the boys room.

Then we had lunch and the kids watched The Music Man while I was sewing a skirt for Emily. Then I got out a quilt I have been working on for 3 yrs - off and on. It is my Prairie Primer group quilt. Made from fabric from other Prairie Primer families all over USA and Canada, we all sent each other fabrics that reminded us of something from the Little House on the Prairie books. So I have all the 9 patch squares done, now I just need to buy the backing and put it all together. Sewing a quilt is relaxing for me, I enjoy the challenge, like working a Sukoku puzzle .....it was fun for me.
Emily and I did pedicures this week, so posted those pictures too. FUN!

This is my Avon website incase you want to take a look.

I just started selling Avon. August 2010. I like the products. It is beauty products that I can afford. It is a nice side job because I can work at my own schedule and take a break from it when I choose.
