Where did the time go?

Time...something we wish we had more of. If only I had the time...it is time for change, but where do I find time?...if I only had more time...

At the beginning of the month, as noted in previous blogs, my mom signed me up to sell Scentsy Wickless Candles and I thought, "okay, i will get around to it" and now, with just a short time passing by, I have done over $2000 in sales, bought my own domain, and have several large boutiques to participate in. Crazy! I wonder what I would have done if I actually had put more "time" into it...if I only had more :-)

Hudson is now 7 months, where did the time go? He is crawling, mostly backwards, and gets up on his feet in the "stink bug" position to propel himself forward. He almost has it and now I have to think about baby proofing the house. Yikes! Thanks to my sister Melissa and her staying with me a few years back, my kitchen cabinets are done. Thanks Melissa! And how about the super cute babble??? I fall more in love with him everyday!

Happy St. Baldricks Day

What goes better with green beer than a shaved head??? Nothing, especially when you are shaving your head to raise money for a Children's Cancer Foundation.

St. Baldricks uses the donations to fund more childhood cancer research grants than any other organization except for the government. Volunteers shave their heads in solidarity with kids fighting cancer and family and friends give generously. We have Gavin's story honored on their website at http://www.stbaldricks.org/ - Gavin R.

Thank you for all those who supported Craig in is effort to raise funds in memory of Gavin. And thank you to Chris, you are hilarious!! We love you!!

We had an outstanding time at the event and when we left, only an hour into the event, they had raised over $38,000 for childhood cancer research. There were all ages, from young children, girls and boys, and people just wanting to give what they could. Hudson even got his face painted!!

An early celebration for St. Patty's day, but I think well worth it!!

All is quiet...

All is quiet in the Roark house...it is a sweet, yet eerie, feeling. The only sound is the slight humming from my laptop and my fingers as they pound away on the keyboard.

Ahhhhh...i love that sound.

I was thinking to mysef today that how strange is it that when I decided to change careers and become a stay-at-home mom that I would become busier than what I was when I was working full time at my "corporate" job. Who would have thought? My days are full with play time with Hudson, laundry, cooking, cleaning, play dates or maybe a little exercise...but also, running my businesses, making sure I have office supplies, answering emails & phone calls, and entering orders. And that is just the start of it...by the time I look at the clock, it is time for bed and prepare to do it all over again the next day.

Can you relate? I am sure you can and even if not in this exact manner...but we wouldn't change it for the world!

and all is quiet again...
