HELP ME GROW!

Custom OOAK Rainbow Origami Bouquet

After much deliberation, my husband and I have decided that I will resign from my current job to care for our new infant son full time.  My day job for almost the past 2 years has been as an Elderly Protective Service worker, which means I investigated reports of elder abuse in the community and coordinated/provided intervention.  After 9 weeks of maternity leave, I have to say that although I miss my peers, I do not miss dealing with problems every single day.

Although I am thrilled & excited to be a stay-at-home mom (something I never thought I would be saying), I am also scared!  We can't afford it, plain and simple.  I still need to bring in a smallish income, and hope to focus on my business, both online and locally to make up the difference.

SO, help me grow my business!  Spread the word to brides-to-be you know seeking alternative bouquets, boutonnieres, and jewelry.  Tell you friends about my shop who are looking for unique gifts.  Book an in-home party to earn free stuff and discounts if you live locally, and don't forgot to pick something up just for you!

  5. You were in a high stress and emotionally draining job. Your child deserves a Mom who is not dealing with that on a regular basis.

    It may be rough for a while, but you've made the right choice.

    Wishing you all the best.

  11. You will enjoy being there for the tiniest moments. I've been a stay-at-home mom since my son was diagnosed with severe eczema. I have never been before...I've always had school or work or school & work...But being a full-time stay-at-home mom is just as demanding and has its own challenges as well. But it's worth it. My family couldn't afford it either, but we made it, so I wish you all the best, and I know you will make it! =)
