I have been working 5 businesses at 4 locations as well as taking care of all 4 kids needs in school out of school and running places to play with them.

I have been having loads of fun. 

This week I am Pulling ALL my inventory out of 1 boutique that isn’t making me any money I keep losing $100+ a month to them so I’m moving on.  The amount of inventory is almost like moving out of a small apartment with a mini van full of kids so It will take a few loads.

 

Sierra Just had an Irish Dance Feis (fesh) Saturday that I took her to it was a long day for us.  She was cute and slightly messed up each dance causing her to not place in any event, But she will practice and do better next time.

We hosted a Superbowl party at our house  I made all the snacks and did the grocery shopping Saturday night til 11PM

I have 2 home shows this week with Cookie lee jewelry

Saturday IS MY BIG day.  I Started finding locations to hold “Saturday Boutiques” at where I invite lots of vendors (like a farmers market) to come and sell their wares.  It’s been a long fun task getting a big unique group together without getting duplicate vendors in.  http://saturdayboutiques.blogspot.com  it will be the day before Valentines and we have advertised like mad in the media online and thru emails and paper fliers.

I have to run. I need to get a piece of jewelry to a customer then to POSH to pull out of the store with Zach and Aurora

Utterly Exhausted- even after a nap day and no business but Superbowl party hostess. Sure wish Aurora would go back to sleeping thru the night. NO MORE CHOCOLATE MILK for you baby(almost3) before bed. Mommy needs SOME sleep-So does Daddy. 1st big noticeable BAG appeared under my eye yesterday. I looked OLD!

Valentines 2009

Filed under: Valentines — Devanie @ 9:18 pm

Two days before Valentines Day, I got a dozen red roses from Nathan. The day before Valentines Day, I received gourmet chocolate-dipped strawberries (milk chocolate, white chocolate, and even coconut). The strawberries came in a refridgerated box and were still cold when they arrived. The girls and I shared them. There were huge and delicious!

On Valentines Day, Nathan surprised me again with 11-carat diamond and green amerthyst earrings. I told him to stop buying me jewelry, but old habits die hard.  The earrings are stunning.

The kids each got huge Valentines Day themed suckers (like the kind you get at Disneyland but heart-shaped and all pink, red, and white).  They each got a handmade heart card.  We spent the next three days picking up half-eaten sucker pieces out of the carpet and off tables, dressers, and the floor.  I think they enjoyed them… it was just too much to eat all of it.

The kids also received Valentines gifts from Aunt Shana; Valentines-themed iPod devices made out of boxes of candy hearts and Hershy Kisses for earphones.  Very cute!  Why can’t I ever think of things like that?

I gave Nathan a hand-made Valentines card and a mountain of chocolate candy bars. He hasn’t touched them yet (he’s being so good!) but they’re in the closet when and if he needs them.

I made heart-shaped brownies dusted in powdered sugar. Nathan finished them off while the kids and I were in Idaho last week.

For Valentines Day!
