My life as a mum

It’s officially two weeks ago now that AVON pulled the plug on the business in Ireland. Apparently they were losing money. Since I stopped being a business developer last year I read the news on facebook. I was in shock. And also a bit sad. Not because the loss of income, because even though I officially was still a representative I didn’t do a lot of AVON work. But I still felt a loss. I felt a loss because I had become so dependent on so many AVON products myself and I was just about to put a nice order in for myself for some products we use at home and which had run out. The prices of the AVON products are so affordable and what I also loved about AVON shopping is that you didn’t have to leave the door to go to a drugstore or supermarket to look for products. It was so convenient.
Apparently a few business developers- for whom this still was their main income – have decided to take their teams to Oriflame. I’m not so sure about trying that yet. But I’m interested in seeing a br…

Then, finally a dry day again. Praise God!
These last weeks/days have certainly been a challenge and the weather has had a huge part in it. No, luckily no floods and all.
But it hasn’t been much joy to walk in the rain (and strong winds) on several occasions. I haven’t got a hood on my coat nor a hat or something like that so my hair got more ruined every time.
But my kids were dry, thanks to a double buggy that I purchased from someone from the website Magicmum Yay !
I still feel totally blessed for having the possibility to spend more time with my kids, in spite of the fact that life got so much busier and all.
I actually really embraced my new role.
But I really went from thinking, ‘I’m happy to be a SAHM ‘ to I thinking ‘I’m ready now to go back to work’. lol
But this has nothing to do with the kids. At least, it has a little bit, but in a different way than you would think. I want to be able to earn money again so I can buy things for them, at least to be able to spend more of the child…
