Being a Stay At Home mom is a sacrifice. I knew that when I agreed to quit my job and raise our child. I would have no income until she went to kindergarten. Five years of being a "one income household". Things would be tight, but it would be well worth it to have that time with my daughter, to teach her, to watch her grow.
Well, unfortunately, some debts can only be deferred so long. Student Loans, for instance. I will have to start repaying them in 2012. So I have about three months to come up with extra income for us.
As much as I enjoy making jewelry, it is not a lucrative business venture. I have sold items, but it is not a steady means of income. Plus you have to spend money to make money. I just don't have the extra money to spend.
My husband works shift work so his schedule is never consistent and can change with a moment's notice. I have to be the available parent at all times. So you can see why I need something that I can do from home.
So I thought about things that I love:
my kid, my hubby, cats, knitting, halloween, candles, reading, writing, the beach and.... WAIT!!! Candles! That's it! I love candles.
I have been obsessed with candles for over a decade now. I have floral scents, seasonal scents, comfort food scents, aromatherapy scents and clean scents. I've burned regular old candles and soy candles. I've used tart warmers, candle warmers, and reed diffusers. I've even taken candles on vacation with me!
To sell something, you have got to LOVE it. So today, I signed up to be a Scentsy Consultant. I'll be selling candles!
I'm really hoping that this will be the beginning of a successful new chapter in my life!
