Thread: Chat to the Crowns, Part 13!

I need to come up with some kind of business I can do at home. It seems like the only way to make it big is to work for yourself. I know money isn't everything...but it would definitely make things easier.

I was getting dressed this morning, and realized that I really would like another baby...but we can't because of money, specifically day care costs.

This seems like a great idea...let me know what you think.

Lexi USUALLY does what I ask by 3 or 4 but last night I think she was testing the limits.

Ok so from what I gather, togaroo is like Netflix but with toys right??? Sounds awesome. Here are my worries...

1) They say the toys are super clean but are they REALLY????

2) If your kid breaks a toy you have to buy it at a "discounted price" I worry that they will scam you with their "discount"

Otherwise I think it sounds great! Especially at this age where the kids only play with toys for a few weeks at a time anyway!!! IF you try it let me know how it goes, I might be right behind you!

How crafty are you Kim??? Right now the big thing here for home busniess is bows, tutus, and shirts. My friend is making really good money selling that stuff from home.

You could also do cupcakes, cakes, cake pops/balls, candy boquets, gift baskets, etc

UMMMM....here they are always advertising for medical transcriptionists that work from home but I doubt that makes a ton of money...it could be a part time thing for extra though.

I think it would be harder in STL since there are SO many people to compete with but I'm sure you can make anything work!

Congrats on your realization that you want another baby...now make it happen!!!!

Megan thats too funny about Lexi.

Kim Yay for wanting another baby! I'm excited for you. You can have yours between Megan and me.

Russ sings all the time. The last few days he has been singing "God is afraid of the world" (atleast it sounds like afraid) I've had mom and DF listen to him to see if we could figure out the song by the tune but nothing.

I'm not artistic enough to make gift baskets, but I think I could do the tutus. I love cake balls, so maybe I could make those too.

I'm not good at anything crafty but I sure try LOL!!!!

So it's snowing here, again. I went to lunch and my car slid all over the place! I wish they would do early dismissal before it gets much worse!

Amber-glad to have you back.. Love the gift DF gave you. Hope you had a great week in Ca.
Kim- Congrats on wanting to have another little one. Good luck with finding somthing to do from home for extra money. What about watching a few other kids in your home?

Megan- hope they let you our early.

AFM- We were going to go see Pip the Mouse but Maya had other plans... She was crying her head off the whole way there (totally not like her)...Didn't think others would enjoy a crying baby while watching the show.

I sell mary kay on the side, but EVERYBODY knows somebody who sells, so it's not really a great business. I can't stay at home because I carry the benefits. I would be a HORRIBLE stay at home mom too. I like my 1 day off during the week to play with the boys, but even those days get full of errands and rarely are just for playing.

Everett hasn't been himself this week. He's been crying on the way to school, and today he refused to leave the house, even to go to mc donalds with his grandma. She stayed home with him, while I went and brought food back. He's been sweaty a couple times, but I've never caught a fever. So weird!

Dalton is getting breathing treatments now. I can do it every 4 hours, but I'm trying to only do it when he's coughing/ wheezing. He's sleeping better, so that's good.
