Fighting Bad Odors!

Now that I no longer have a job that I can do from home, I am looking for something new.  I found something that I can do from home, so check this out:

Scentsy

This is a company called Scentsy.  They have all kinds of nice-smelling wax for warmers and other good-smelling items.   If you are looking for a warmer/candle, room refresher, or unique gifts, give this web-site a try! 

The web-site links directly to me, so every purchase puts money into our household!!
Right now, there is 10% off until the end of February on most items! 

I ordered some warming wax bars to support a mission trip.  When I get those in, I will show you what they look like. 

Also, if you want to become a Scentsy Consultant, click here:

This link will put you on my team which means that when you sell items, I get a small percentage as well. 

Whether you order items or join as a consultant, I appreciate you!!

2 Sisters Soap Shop


As part of the extras that the girls can do in Girl Scouts, I have helped them set up a business.  It is part of the money management extras. 

For this assignment, they had to calculate how much the supplies would cost, calculate how to price the items, and figure out profit.  It gets even more involved a little later. 

I love that these projects help prepare them for life!  They are learning so many invaluable lessons!

They decided to make laundry soap, since they saw me make some and it looked like fun.  They took bars of organic soap and grated them to a powder.  Then, they added equal parts washing soda and borax.  The soap turned out perfect! 

The hardest part is yet to come: Marketing and Sells!

A Visit with Ronald



Working from home has major advantages!! For one, I can work anywhere there is a wi-fi connection. McDonalds has become a hot spot because the girls can play while I work. I let them stay for an hour or two, and I get an hour or two of work done.
