We just finished a whirlwind busy time with Mother's Day at Total She! I hope all of you Mom's out there had a wonderful day! I would sure love to hear what kind of Total She product you received and what you thought, so please comment or drop us a line!
I was able to spend some relaxing & quality time with my own Mom on Saturday night with 2 of my daughters, & one of my daughters friends (pretty much my 4th daughter!) We all ordered some pizza and relaxed outside around a fire, the kids made S'mores and we had a really nice time and visit! On the ride home we stopped along the side of the road and were able to get pretty close to 4 Geese and their 12 yellow fluffy babies! They hopped into the pond and swam away, they were so sweet!
Mother's day Sunday started for me with Tea in bed, and pancakes! The rest of my day was spent getting my house cleaned and tackling our massive laundry pile lol! I think I actually might be caught up now for a day!
In the evening, our whole family went downtown to the Pantages Theatre, as Sara, my oldest was performing in a musical theatre group dance number at the Manitoba Dance Festival. The girls did a fantastic job and received Gold Honours for their performance which made my evening!
As far as my fit before 40, it is still incredibly on my mind! I have not done as well as I'd have liked so far into 2012 - and it is already MAY! YIKES - 5 months in! I did start a Boot Camp at Pole Fit Canada and that is going really well - it is 2 times per week from 6am - 7am! It's the first time in my life I have gotten up at 5:15am to go exercise , so I'm feeling pretty good about accomplishing that! The boot camp ends in the middle of June and I think I'm going to hook up with a personal trainer! I am very interested in learning about weight training and I'd really like to have someone teach me the ropes and get me on a program - so then I can go when I can and set my own schedule!
I have been plugging away behind the scenes planning out our next catalogue and looking for new exciting ideas of cool products we can bring in. I am very excited to say I am nearly done! This is the earliest I will have even been done with my pre-planning which is super exciting for me!
I am awaiting a few more samples to get delivered, and then I will be off to the races! I have so many ideas sometimes I think my head will explode!
Many of my ideas cannot take place until we grow, which is extremely frustrating to me, but we cannot grow until these ideas are implemented!
It is a very annoying catch 22!
Right now every single thing we do at home office is manual. It is extremely time consuming and very monotonous and time wasting! In this day and age of automation, and knowing that some very cool ideas exist for what we need to implement, actually already exist, it makes me crazy!
Being automated will allow our Sales Consultants to have their own personalized websites, ( just like all of the other home party plans ) their customers will be able to order on-line, and personalize their piece on-line too! Imagine how cool it will be to be able to design & see what your piece will look like before you even get it!
This software will track everything and help with inventory, and accounting which is HUGE for us! Of course a system like this is a massive financial investment, and until now I have not figured out a way to get the funds other than try and solicit a loan so we are able to start this exciting project!
I am working on something right now and I hope to be able to release it very soon! It will require all hands on deck to share with friends and families, but I think we have a pretty good shot at getting it done and I am so excited to share it all with you! I'll keep you posted!
