Scentsy Business Opportunity


So I am throwing around the idea of starting an at-home business called Scentsy. They are a wickless candle, scent company and I love love love their products! Anyway, what I really like about the business is that I don't have to have a huge inventory of products like some other companies require. I just have to have samples of all the scents, catalogs, and that's about it! And fall is such a great time to start a business like this because people are coming indoors more and wanting that cozy feeling in their home with the cooler temperatures. What a better way to do that than with candles! Carl and I debated whether I should start before or after the baby gets here and I kind of figured I should start now. Once she gets here, I'll find all sorts of excuses not to do it! Plus, I can get the hang of it now, so that when I get back into it I won't be so overwhelmed! Tell me what you think!

Bathroom remodel

We are almost completely done remodeling our bathroom! My dad came down for a week in July and did all of our tiling and more for us! Thanks dad! The bathroom looks great. You can go here to see the before pictures! Here are some in progress and completed pictures.






The finished project! Tell me what you think!

July 4th Festivities


We had a very fun and eventful 4th of July weekend. My dad's side of the family had a reunion in Ontario, Oregon and it was pack full of visiting, food, water and fun.

Whoa, that was fun!

Riley going down the slide. The pool was a big thing for Riley. We had a really hard time getting him in the water because it was really cold. Once he was in, it was pretty much impossible to get him back out. We got him dried and dressed for dinner, and before we knew it he was back in the pool fully clothed!

Such a slacker I am!

I haven't blogged in a couple of months...even though I had every intention of doing so. We have been so busy and Riley and I were gone for most of July (at least it felt that way.) Things are finally starting to slow down. I have a few pregnant pictures to show my progress...only 10 more weeks!

We still don't have a name for this little girl...oh the options!
