Another Day ~ Another Mess!

Well, being the mom of 4 plus a dog and a cat (they argue almost as much as the kids!!) and owning a thriving Tupperware Business, I decided I didn't have enough to do! So, I also have a children's boutique (www.4snugbugs.com) but, that's a story for another day!

Todays story involves 6 yes 6 GIANT boxes from Tupperware! ALL filled with OTHER people's stuff! Try explaining that to my 4 year old! EVERY time I close a party, and get the orders to deliver, we go through this, is this ours Mommy, No Amanda, this is for a customer. HMPH!!! You give your customers all the good stuff!!! She then stomps out of the room.

She occupies herself (knowing I'm doing an inventory, yeah, they forget to include products sometimes!), by making it look like an earthquake took place in the other room! Then she comes back in, all happy, as if she's forgotten the last 15 minutes, Mommy is this for us? So, I say, you silly goose, this is for my customers! To which the chorus begins again! Mommy, you get your customers allllllllll the good stuff! This time it's a little louder, and more dramatic!

So, I ask her if she wants to help, she crosses her arms, shakes her head no, and I go back to work, next thing I know there is her head under mine "helping" by taking things out of the box I ma counting, and putting them into the done box. Ok, time to start over! lol

So, now I have THOROUGHLY inventoried my Tupperware shipment, and I have a HUGE mess in the living room! But, guess what? I'm a meanie mommy! Because I asked her to help me clean it up! It seems ALL I do, is make her work! You see, she had to do all that inventorying!

ahhhh the joys of parenting, and working from home!

This is HARD!!!

Ok, well, I work from home with my kids! My son doesn't complain much, neither does my oldest daughter (11), but my little one???? She's 4, and she wants EVERYTHING that I'm selling! lol Doesn't matter WHAT it is! But she is partial to the items on 4 Snug Bugs Boutique, http://www.4snugbugs.com/

Here's today's wish list!

I never realized HOW much she would want the items in the boutique! She had taken to begging. But that didn't get her the results she wanted, so now, Mommy loves other kids more! She is my best customer! lol Unfortunately I have to PAY for her purchases!!!

Oh! For readers of my blog, you can take a 10% discount on your purchase until Sunday! Use newsletter in the coupon box.

Well, that's it for today! Maybe tomorrow will be more eventful! :)

Pettiskirts, and Hair Bows, Oh my!

I am sooooo excited! I just started adding Pettiskirts and Hair Bows to 4 Snug Bugs Boutique! They are sooooo Precious! My daughter is making her shopping list! :)

Isn't this just adorable? It is soooo fun having a little girl! lol I have some hairbows that I just added, and some more that I will be adding!

Wow! Between this and Tupperware, I am having the time of my life!

I will also be adding some adorable Monkey-Toes shoes in the near future!


OOOOO! I almost forgot! There are only a few days left to the month! Someone that purchases from www.4snugbugs.com by the January 31st will win a $25 Gift Certificate! So better hurry! I would hate for you to miss out!

Who thinks people won't buy Tupperware?

Well, whoever thinks people won't buy Tupperware, needs to follow me around for a few days! I had two parties, Friday and Saturday, out of those two, I had 5 bookings!! How cool is that? Plus I got a phone call for a catalog party!

Why? Think about it! If you want to go hang out with your friends, and have some food and drinks, you would be spending $30-$40. At a Tupperware party, you're having even more fun, and whatever you spend, will last you a lifetime, not just go through your digestive system! lol PLUS the hostesses get a LOT of free Tupperware! So, it's a win-win!

The last several parties that I've had, everyone had a blast, and got to learn some great ways to save money, and spend less time in the kitchen! :)

So, if anyone tells you Tupperware is dead, send them to me! I can prove otherwise :)

A trip to the Eye Doctors!

So, my daughter broke her DKNY glasses belly surfing down our stairs! Yeah! I'm not a happy mommy, they were only 4 months old! And she has really expensive lenses! So, we had to go to the eye glass store to get her new ones. So, after she picked out a pair she LOVED, they said no can do! lol They were too big for her face. Ok, they point out a pair that would work, she loved them, however, when I pointed the SAME ones out 10 minutes earlier, I was told they were UGLY! lol

So, just as we're leaving, mind you I just dropped almost $400! I give the lady who helped us a Tupperware Sales flier :) Well, she said she couldn't afford to buy anything, so I told her have a party, get it all for free, and then didn't get the reaction I hoped for, so I suggested she could sell Tupperware, and make great extra money! lol

No shame! Hey, my theory was, the no can do glasses were $60 cheaper than the ones they talked us into! Soooo, they can listen to my spiel! lol

Oh well! We shall see if she buys or not! lol BUT My daughters belly surfing days are OVER!!! Cause the next time, she gets the ugliest pair I can find! lol

My first post!

Good morning! This is my very first post! So, I thought I would share a little about me! I am a work at home mom, I have 4, yes 4 kids! They range in age from 17 to 4! I know!!! BIG GAP!!! lol I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but we needed some kind of help with the bills, my 14 year old eats CONSTANTLY! The boy is so thin, he must have a hollow leg!! lol

So, I decided to get creative! I have an online boutique, that someday will be my daughters. She helps me decide what we should sell and really enjoys it, she's 11. That's www.4snugbugs.com

I am also a Tupperware Manager! I LOVE Tupperware!!! Working with Tupperware was an EXCELLENT choice for me! I am the most disorganized person on the planet! I prefer to think if it as "Organizationally Challenged" My mom just calls it a wreck! :) www.TWLaurie.com

So, Tupperware has helped me earn money, get free Tupperware (woohoo), earn a freee weekend getaway, countless other prizes, and best of all, get organized!!!!! It's true! I can actually find things now!

My 4 year old LOVES Tupperware! We were in an office a few weeks back, and she found a lid, and said mommy look Tupperware! lol AND it was!!!

So, Tupperware is my passion, and I love my boutique! The best part it is, it all helps my family to be able to eat, after my 14 year old has raided the pantry and cabinets! lol

Later, I'll post my favorite products from Tupperware, and my boutique. As well as some of the shameless ways I get my business out there! lol I hope you'll come back!
