This has been a strange but great week!
It's Sunday and I am working on our new updated look for the website which I hope to unveil soon, watching the Golden Globes and reflecting on this past week.
This week is one that now looking back I can really see the many hats that a WAHM (work at home mom) wears. Before sending out our monthly email for Tan-je-reen Design, I was doing my daily mundane household "jobs", throwing in the load of laundry, serving and cleaning up breakfast, getting Mason set-up with some crayons and settling in to prepare and send the email. Well as usual nothing goes as easy or as nice as it is planned in the world of young children, so I found myself working sitting at my sons small round childrens table, on a childs size chair
with my laptop, thinking my presence in his playroom would help him let me get a little work done. That didn't happen so in between mouse clicks and typing I had to play the timeless game of Cootie, for those don't remember this game, you build a large bug or "cootie". So here I am trying to wear my Business Owner "hat" while simultaneously wearing my Mom "hat", playing with my son. Once he was satisfied with the bugs, I started to work again when I noticed a large bug peering at me over my laptop screen....Mason was walking all of the bugs up and down the back of my screen....I laughed so loud and hard that I fell into tears.
It was at this moment that I realized I have the BEST job(s) in the world. Although I can honestly say that being a Stay or Work at Home Mom is harder than any job I had in Corporate America...it is by far the most rewarding. Nothing worth doing is easy, and making the hard decision to stay home with my son and start my own business is the best that My Husband and I ever made!

Hey Melanie! Nice to meet you yesterday. This story is so funny, I loved Cootie as a kid. Rayna will smack the laptop with both of her hands as if typing...I guess she wants to be like momma :)
The blog looks great!
Somehow I posted this under my other gmail account (talk about distraction, lol). This one will actually take you to my blog. ;)
