Disney Day 2!

I quickly realized that it Is good for me to blog these days because I will forget them faster then I mean to!
Sunday was a split day! The first half we went to Magic Kingdom again. Charlotte got to meet Snow White and Rapunzel (who does a FABULOUS job). We rode Dumbo, and the tea cups. Unfortunately,  do to my foot we move VERY slow and are not fitting in as much as we would like but we are definitely trying! We decided to eat lunch at Be our Guest before leaving the park. GREAT food and a fun experience (do it if you go!) Throughout the morning we met a few other characters as well - tons of fun! We came back and rested and then went to Epcot. First thing was Sorin (which I did not do but all the other adults did) so I got to hang out with Charlotte!  And of course I had to buy her a prize - Nala from the Lion King! We walked around a bit and went through the world showcase and headed to dinner. Via Napoli - we all had pizza and let me tell you....best pizza I have EVER eaten. We went and rode the Norway ride (blah) and then Mexico! We tried desserts from Norway, but they were less than impressionable! Day 1 was a success!

Why I do direct sales!

This June I will have been in direct sales for 3 years! 3 with Thirty-One and 1 with Mary & Martha! I never thought I really wanted to join anything until I contemplated being a Tupperware rep! But I never could convince myself that it was the best decision for me. Fast forward a bit and my now sister in law convinced me to sell Thirty-One. And two years later I joined Mary & Martha (even though people thought I was crazy!)
So why do I sell? It is so much more than selling to me. It is helping people make their lives more functional.  This journey started out as free products for myself! (And trust me I still get so much free! I rarely pay for anything). It then very quickly became about helping my loved ones earn free products. Then it turned into me making some of my best friends. I was put in situations where I HAD to get to know people and low and behold I made some of my closest friends. Then when we moved, the extra money has been able to go towards the extras we want or need. Ive had months where i made over $1000 and it came at a time when God knew we needed it. Now our dream is that one day we will be able to use one or both of these businesses to help me stay home. So far God has not chosen to bless me with a huge team or a promotion yet. Will He? I have no idea but I do know that until He tells me otherwise I will continue on. I would not change the past 2.5 years at all. I do not know what the future holds but I will gladly tell you that $99 can impact your life in ways that you can't imagine. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Would I do it again?  Ten times over.

Disney...Day 1

*Fair warning, I am mainly writing these for my own personal memories as opposed to anything else!*
Technically we left on Friday, but today was actually our first day in Disney! We are fortunate enough to be staying in the Wilderness Lodge! It is beautiful (and the rustic side of it even makes Joseph happy!) Our rooms were not available right away so we relaxed in the lobby while C walked around for a bit. The rooms were incredibly nice! Definitely had a lodge feel to them, but spacious. None of our rooms connected but we did have side by side rooms! We then started out our evening eating in the hotel at the whispering canyon cafe. If you ever eat there, one tip - don't ask for ketchup (we did not!) After freshening up it was Finally it was time to head Into the park. Up first?  Magic Kingdom!  Charlotte was in awe. This trip is also Josephs first time to get to go! We started out on It's a small world and then went to Enchanted Tales with Belle! Both C and J got to participate in the story! (Pictures to follow!) Finally we ended the evening with the Winnie the Pooh ride and Charlotte got to meet Mickey. Not only was he just Mickey but he was a TALKING Mickey.  Tonight was  MAGICAL, and it only is the beginning!! I will post pictures as i can!
