*FLASH* Don’t Let This Pass You By

10930996_810001042371385_4366776475174116072_nMy friends know this, but perhaps my readers do not.

I am an Independent consultant for Lilla Rose, a direct sales company specializing in hair accessories.

What started as a way to help me teach my girls modesty and to manage hair morphed.

Within 24 hours of signing up, sight unseen as far as the flexi clips go, and only for the consultant discount, I was thinking that doing this would be a great way to help adopting families using Reece’s Rainbow to raise adoption grants. I thought I could do fundraisers by donating commission and goods to auctions.

Twenty four hours after that, I was signing up to do craft and vendor shows just to earn enough money to help us get a dining room table big enough to seat our whole family. We don’t currently have one.

Before I knew it, Lady L and I were conspiring educating ourselves on how to grow a small business and in entrepreneurship with a philanthropic bent.

So here we are, eighteen months into this adventure, a minimum of two events each month, except in November when we had fifteen events.

We have goals and plans.

Our first goal is to order an Amish made dining room table by fall, 2015.

A portion of all our profits and commissions are being donated to non profit groups like Reece’s Rainbow, the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission, Monadnock Bible Conference’s Love in Motion, and Alternatives of Kalamazoo.

Anyway, there is a 25% off FLASH sale at Lilla Rose today. It ends at 11 p EST/8p PST.

What is a flexi clip anyway?

Do you need to know how to size your flexi?

What would look best in my hair?

Will it really work for me?

It doesn’t matter if you have thin hair problems.

What a great birthday, Valentine’s Day, or Easter gift idea for a child or grandchild!

 

As always, if you don’t need paintings or gift giving ideas but want to help, just head on over to the Quinn’s non profit family sponsorship page on Reece’s Rainbow and donate to help bring these two sweeties home to their brothers and hardworking Mama and Daddy. Here are Willow and Ernie.

A Look At Legacy: Apprentice in Training

There is more to my LoveLeavingLegacy Etsy/blog store business and Lilla Rose business than trying to grow a business.

Lady L and I are learning about entrepreneurship together. She is my “Apprentice in Training”.

Whether we’re crafting for Etsy, working Lilla Rose/LoveLeavingLegacy, or providing childcare for a local Classical Conversations group, I love working alongside my daughter.

I’m proud of the self-confident, outgoing, socially competent young lady she is.

She is hard working.

Apprenticeship

I am privileged to teach my daughter.

I have the opportunity to work alongside my oldest daughter.

I am a blessed mother!

 

Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior…teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. Titus 2:3-5
