I wake up every morning at 4 a.m. walk to my kitchen and start making coffee for my fiance who works very hard everyday to support our little family. Everyday its the same routine get up at 4 and have him to work before 5 a.m. come home and start preparing for our 4 beautiful lil girls to wake up and destroy the house I spent hours cleaning the night before. Pick my fiance back up from work at 2 and we typically head to his parents house to visit come home clean up, cook dinner, clean up, get the kids ready for bed, say prayers with them, let them get up for 500 drinks of water cause they are dying from thirst, take them potty 20 times tuck them back in, more hugs and kisses, clean up again, maybe get in a shower, switch out the laundry I forgot about, finally get to bed around 12, then get up and do it all over again the next day. My fiance loves his job, his bosses, and the people he works with, but loving your job doesn't cover all the bills. Yes I could easily go out and get a job, the only thing with that is with 4 small children (Our oldest is 4, then we have one who turns 3 tomorrow, and last but not least our double trouble twinkies are 1) I would literally just be working to pay for the cost of child care and maybe gas. My dream has always been to work for myself (duh who doesn't want to be their own boss!!) I've had several ideas like opening a meat shop/ bakery (who really wants their cupcakes and cookies from a place cutting up deer and cows in the back) hey it sounded good for a second, until I said it out loud anyway. Lol. Now between birthdays, paying bills, diapers, gas, and all the other fun stuff that comes along with being an adult, I've been trying to think of ways that I could help out more but still be the one taking care of the babies at home 90% of the time. I was sitting down with my fiance discussing our finances (well he was discussing I was on Pinterest looking at ways to make cleaning easier...BTW cleaning is cleaning it doesn't get easier even with a sorting process using totes, chances are you will spend forever putting away things from each tote into each room slowly cause its out of the floor so why rush...or it will stay in the totes until one of the kids dumps it back out) and it hit me. I know what I want to do. I know I'm not the only stay at home mom with an addiction to Pinterest (seriously we should have meetings). Why not take advantage of it. Why not turn our craftiness into cash!! I don't want to share every detail just yet, but let's just say my fiance actually told me I was brilliant!! (Not that he doesn't always feel that way of course...but I do have my "I'm seriously a blonde, please repeat that 10 more times and I might get it" moments, and we can't forget about the mommy brain!!) My biggest goal is to help out other stay at home moms and single moms in our small community to have a steady income while still being able to be a stay at
For the past six months I have been homeless due t...[Read more]
