Did you know?
Did you know that I started selling Uppercase Living the same month April started selling Pampered Chef and Hannah started selling Cookie Lee Jewelry? Oh yes, this month has been party after party and oodles of good gifts! I love it.
I think what I love most about direct sales is that you control what you do, how much you make, what kind of hours you want and how well you do. I love it. I’m seriously not trying to sell anything here. I’m just excited.
I went to Hannah’s party lastnight and found the absolute cutest necklace for Big Sister’s 3rd Birthday. Oh man, I cannot believe that she is going to be THREE in 7 weeks (I originally thought six before looking at the calendar, but still… seven weeks ’til I have an official big girl).
Did you know that I’ve started planning her birthday party. Oh, it’s going to be great. Candy Land is the theme this year. I’m not an overly themed kind of gal. For instance, her first birthday was just a cup cake party with a color theme of pink & brown. Last year she had a Lady Bug Picnic party. I’m not completely sold on what I’ll be doing as far as decorations or even how the cake will be. But I am certain of having tons of jars lined up on one table full of candy that can be added to children’s goodie bags to take home.
Anyways, back to the necklace. It’s an adorable little lollipop with (get this!) a little toothbrush as well. Seriously, it’s cuter than that. And I CANNOT wait to get it!
Did you know that Little Sister (is going to be one year old and I won’t have a “baby” anymore. How did this happen? Why does time just not stand still forever and ever?!) is going to have a Pumpkin Patch themed birthday? It’s going to be great. With a pick a pumpkin from the patch (our back yard), paint your pumpkin craft, and some type of pumpkin-y game. I’m excited because I L-O-V-E birthday parties. And I’ll have years and years worth of party planning under my belt to get ready for two weddings.
Oh happy day! I love having girls!!
**The GiveAway has been postponed until BooMama gets back from vacation & tells us what the dealy is.

I’m so sorry that I didn’t come out to the pampered chef show. Ronin was having some throw up issues that morning and I had to miss church and small group. Bleh. Hope it was a success.

I just realized that pregnancy has fried my brain so much that I said Pampered Chef show. What on earth? Obviously you are selling Tupperware… LOL!!! I kill me.

Ooooh! I love Uppercase Living! My sister introduced me to it and got me the “Home…where your story begins” as a house-warming gift (she also got me each of my boys’ names for their room). I absolutely LOVE it!!
