STIll CAMPING AND MARKETING SOAPS

kids are having a blast. i have been able to sell some soap to the gift shop. i am using my cell for this update. the capital letters won't work. bummer.

CAMPING FOR A FEW DAYS

The family and I are going on a little camping trip. The weather is suppose to be beautiful. When I get back, I would like to talk about "Beauty Monsters". Did you know, you have things lurking around your house that can make you sick. Stay tuned for more information!

Picture of us camping when the oldest two were babies.

AMAZON

I have a goal I would like to accomplish before the end of the year. I would like to get my beauty products listed on Amazon. Amazon is one of my favorite ways of shopping. When I need something it is the first place I look and I usually find it at a great price. Millions of people shop Amazon each day and I would like to be a part of the experience. I say "Go for it".

These are some of my guest soaps.

BEGINNER BLOGGER

Certainly I am not the only one new to blogging. I spent a few hours last night navigating my way through Google. There is so much information on the Internet to help you in your journey. I moved a few things around on my blog to try to get a more organized look. I also added a profile picture. That's a start. My advice is to keep plugging along and don't quit. If something doesn't work try something else.

I started out thinking this blog would be all about my soap-making business but it seems to be going in different directions. I suppose that is okay since it is my blog. I am considering starting a weight loss blog. I have plenty of material for that. Ha Ha. Or maybe "The Chronicles of Parenthood" I have plenty of material for that as well.

I do have Four Daughters. One by birth, one step-daughter through a second marriage and two adopted. I love them all. I was thinking of them when I titled my business. The one thing they all have in common is that they are all females.  They are vastly different from one another. That is how bath products are, namely soap.. All natural. Some are bold. Some are sweet. Some are even fruity. That's how the girls are. Each one is unique and has her own specialness about her. Their direction in life is vastly different from each other. One is enjoying motherhood and the pursuit of self-employment, She is finding fulfilment in life in general. Another has just entered  the medical field as a young doctor. The two little ones have years to go.  You can already see their lives taking shape in things that they find interesting.

Motorhome is the only way to travel

For me, our motor home is the only way to go. I feel like Lucile Ball in the "Long, Long trailer". You can go where you want (with some restrictions). Stop where you want. You have everything with you. There are some downsides to it, like parking garages. We plan to take our motor home this fall to several craft shows. When the children get cranky..hey, nap time. It's great. We have traveled out west several times and there is nothing like being under the stars, away from the competing city lights. High on a mountain top. Maybe I should hook up with a craft show out west!

BEAUTY FALL THINGS IN ORDER

Wow! I can't believe I just posted on my blog and it disappeared??

Let's try this again. I have had such a time with my computer. I had a lot of "Window updates" so one night I decided to install all of them, never again. It did a number on my computer and now I have to take it to the doc..to get a fix.

Anyway, I have not been on here for quite awhile. The main reason is "Intimidation". I just don't get this whole blog thing yet. Another reason is raising children..they sure require a lot of attention. We started homeschooling again and the kids are loving it. I am using "SonLight" curriculum. It does require a bit of preparation for each class but it has been rewarding for all of us. Dad has jumped on board this year. He is doing History, Bible and Reading. I am doing everything else including changing diapers!

Fall is on the boarder and I am excited about all the new and upcoming events. I have decided to take the plunge into the craft arena. I have purchased some festive soap molds and some yummy scents to try out. Needless to say I will be busy for the next few weeks..making soaps, balms, salves, scrubs and whatever else suits my fancy.

Speaking of fall, it is a beautiful time of the year in this part of the country. I have always loved the fall even as a child. One thing I enjoy about fall is driving down a desolate road. There is a slight breeze and my window is down. The leaves scatter crisply across the road as my headlights shine on the falling leaves..it's a visual, hearing, feelly thing I suppose. Kind of eerie.
