Being home all day with my kids is a blessing. I know how lucky I am to have the opportunity to be home with them rather than work a full time job. However, it can get a bit dull. I don't know about you, but I get very antsy not earning any money. I've been working since I was 14 years old. Before that, I'd have yard sales, lemonade stands, take polaroid pictures at the beach, and anything else I could think of to earn a buck. To me, it was magical to have money handed to me for my services. I've never gotten rid of the itch to make money for myself. Even when I was working full time, I was always looking for ways to earn cash directly for my services.
Since I was a kid, I've tried many things. Now, as a stay-at-home-mom, I'm back to finding creative ways to earn a buck. Not that I need to, but I LIKE to. I've done everything from selling adult "toys" at home parties, cleaning services, face painting to my latest of lavender spa and beauty products. The problem is I lose patience and get discouraged easily. I have big dreams of success but no patience to give success a chance. I'm gonna try to be patient this time. I have some stuff made and I'm gonna just wait to see if it sells. If it sells, I'll make more and go from there.
So my latest venture is making lavender spa and beauty products. I have lots of lavender plants that I never know what to do with when I harvest the flowers, so I did some research and found some fun recipes for making beauty products. I've already made a bunch of stuff, so I'm just trying to sell it. I have a Facebook business page and an etsy.com store. I'll keep an eye out too for local craft fairs and flea markets. I don't expect to get rich, but it will be nice to have cash in my hands in exchange for my work.
