I started this blog I think over a year ago, mostly to get back into the blogging world and to have a record of memories to look back on. Sadly, I never even wrote one post! We had a life changing summer and this blog just wasn't high on the list of priorities. I am so excited to be back...and even more excited for some big upcoming things!
Let me be the first to say, I LOVE being a stay at home Mom. It is what I always wanted to do, when I dreamed as a little girl, those were my dreams. Lately though, I've been feeling this little something. Like I want to do SOMETHING but not knowing what that something is. I did know that I really didn't want it to interfere with staying at home with Zane, as I am planning on doing K4 with him next year. And, I wanted it to be something that I loved and was passionate about.
One thing that I love to do, are the consignment sales for getting rid of my kids stuff. Yes, it is alot of work and time consuming. BUT, I have learned alot about this market and do really really well at them. I decided that I would start looking for people who wanted to consign but maybe didn't know where to start or how to price, etc. Without even really marketing myself, I found 3 people who are very interested in having me help them! I thought maybe this is an answer to my prayers...as it's something I can do from home on my time....little did I know, God had even bigger plans for this!
On Saturday, I attended an Organization seminar by Bonni Griener at our church. I also happen to loooovve organizing (really, loove) so I knew I had to be there. Well, to make a long story short, Bonni has graciously offered to promote me during her seminars, for consigning or reselling items, or helping people to get organized! I am soo excited about this opportunity! I had to come up with a name...I had to get business cards (business cards people!!!!), I had to register a website...I'm off the wall excited!!! And so...Piles of Fun came into existence! (because really, piles ARE piles of fun:) ) Is our God awesome or what?!? He is turning something that I LOVE to do into a business for me! And answering my prayers along the way!! My website will be www.pilesoffun.com and there will be a blog up on that as well where I will blog about organizing tips, repurposing things, etc.
Til next time.....
