My Latest Venture...

Oh wait...its really my ONLY venture (besides my poor attempt to make primitive crafts).

After thinking about it for a while and discussing it with not only the hubby but several friends and family members, I've decided to try my hand at one of those direct sales businesses - Tastefully Simple.


Why did I choose this particular company? Well, for a few different reasons:

• I love to cook and this company is a "gourmet" food business.
• I don't consider myself a great promoter or seller so, for the above reason, I think this company's products will be something I can actually promote.
• I felt food would sell better than kitchen gadgets and had more of a chance of reorders. Besides, everyone likes great food!
• The food is really tasty! Really!
  
• The cost was something I thought I could handle to start and I liked their policies.
  
• All the other well known direct sales businesses are already being sold around me by various family members or friends (but I can't see myself trying to sell make up since I don't wear it much!).

So for those reasons (and the fact that I really wanted to find something where I could work from home, set my own hours, make a little money and not fork it back out for day care!) I've submitted my consultant agreement, paid my fee, and now I'm just waiting to hear back from them. I am actually really excited about this and have my fingers crossed that I can be successful.

Let me know if you're interested in purchasing anything! Wink, wink!

Where's my vitamin C??

Apparently its easier for me to post about historical fictions, books, book reviews, and the like than it is about normal, everyday things. Hehe.

Anyway, Johnny is sick...ear infection AND sinus infection. Logan still is coughing (though its JUST a cold the doc said). I am sure at this rate I'll wake up Christmas morning sick. Must drink lots of vitamin C!!!

We did manage to get MOST of the Christmas lights up outside and the tree inside. Sure does look all purdy-like! Sat down today to figure out who is getting what pictures of Logan for Christmas presents this year and what all I have to bake for presents as well. Yes, Christmas is going to be small and as inexpensive as I can possibly get it this year. Depressing, I know.

I did finally get all the substitute teaching stuff squared away...just waiting for something in the mail I was told. Guess we'll see. The money sure would be nice right now. Still hoping for a trip to England in the spring!!
