1 week to Spring Sprint
YEAH! One week until Scentsy spring sprint! I cannot wait! 5 hours of motivating, inspiring Scentsy training and workshop! Scentsy has already added more meaning to my life and now there is going to be more. I am so ready to gear up my business. Last night my husband was talking about making in room in the basement for me along with a room for the kids to play while I am working down there. I think he is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel too. The last couple of months have been such a whirlwind with Scentsy and it just keeps continuing. It's so exciting!

Tonight a phone meeting with a possible recruit, tomorrow night a home party, next Tuesday meeting with my newest recruit and then on Wednesday off to Spring Sprint in Chicago. I am excited for everything just hope this cold does not stick around.

Monday Funday. Right?
It is if you are a Packer fan today! Again congrats to the Pack!
I have started my day off with donating Scentsy items to a SAHM mom FB page and taken an order. So all in all a pretty good day for me. Also, waiting to hear back from a family friend that would like to book a party. As a consultant in this business parties are you lifeline. With Scentsy you need these to show off this wonderful product - since in most area it is a brand new concept, product, and party! They are also a great way for me to get out of the house for a few hours - I love my family but that alone time is nice!
I am still working on building my team - one of my past recruits are now starting to show some promise. I have been trying to communicate with her but she seems she just wants to things by herself. Which is fine - everyone learns differently.

Packers Win!
It has been such a busy Scentsy weekend for me which is good! But because of that I am tired. On a good note the Packers are going to the Super Bowl! GO PACK! Hopefully I will be more up to write more tomorrow.

My First Posting!
I guess I should start by introducing myself - I am a SAHM of two from Wisconsin. I also am a Scentsy Independent Consultant and created this blog to share my experience as a consultant as well as a SAHM.
I would like to start at the beginning as to why I am a SAHM. I never imagined myself as being able to stay at home with my children. I was was raised in a household where both of my parents needed to work - they never had the choice. My brother and I never seemed to mine but we also didn't know any different. My husband on the other hand was able to stay at home with his mom and two sisters. He wanted me to at least be home part-time, which I considered.
I have a BA in Communications and a MA in Management in Leadership so staying at home with my degrees was really the last idea on my mine. Then while I was pregnant in 2007 with our DD my position was eliminated due to company cut backs. It was right at the start to the economy going down hill. With my experience and education I could not fine anything! I applied for a part-time admin assistant position and found out so had 250 others! I was one of the lucky ones to get an interview but declined the job because of the pay and how far I would have to travel - it just didn't make sense. I was then lucky enough to find a job working for a Management and Leadership consultant (whom I still work for from home very part time).
My daughter was born and decided to stay with the part time job and I worked out of the home 2 days a week and then 1 day from home. This worked great until my DH company also started laying off workers. At that point he found a wonderful job but we had to move - of course this was at the start of the housing crash. So for 9 long months we lived apart.
Now to the present - I still work for the Management Consultant from home but only a few hours a week (his business is also slow). I have occasionally looked for other jobs but the thought of someone else watching my kids every day kinda makes me sick. I love being with them, most of the time:) I recently became a Scentsy Independent Consultant and love it! I have something to look forward to, something that makes me feel accomplish, something that is MINE!
