Owen’s reward choice!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

It’s really too cold to be walking around Pokémoning in Chicago, but it was Owen’s choice of rewards for bringing his grades up!

We walked around Millennium Park and finally saw the famous bean (we figure we’ve been here almost four years so it was about time). Unfortunately due to Covid it was all cordoned off so we couldn’t get up close and personal. We definitely want to go back when the weather is nicer.

We tried to eat dinner there but hadn’t made reservations (and weren’t about to wait an hour!) so we just started driving towards home and I found a place on Yelp for dinner so that was another fun mini adventure.

Both kids had a great time!

Baseball season has begun!

Tom is a Head Coach this year and loving it—he’s always wanted to coach and now he’s getting the chance. He already knows most of the kids on the team since they’ve been on previous teams.

Owen’s first at bat got him on base! His second got a hit but it was a pop fly that got caught. He was part of a few double plays. He had three RBIs and we won 8-6!

And this was what Katie spent lots of time doing:

I matched my eye colors to my shirt!

My mom, stepdad, me, and the kids are headed to Chicago today to check out the National Ukrainian Museum (we are part Ukrainian) so I felt I needed to wear something more than my typical Saturday garb of yoga pants and a hoodie.

I matched my eye colors to my shirt—two limited edition colors, Seafoam Shimmer (sadly, no longer available) and Sapphire Shimmer (happily, still available)! Not everyday colors but they definitely work with this!

I’m speechless.

This month has been my SeneVersary month (four years!) and I always have a big party in my group…and this year it got insane. INSANE. I couldn’t believe the amount of sales I was getting! And they kept coming.

And then at about 9:30 tonight I realized I was literally $91 away from a super crazy super stretch goal. So I never ask for help…but I did tonight. And three of my friends/clients jumped in to help…so…

SUPER DUPER STRETCH GOAL ACHIEVED: $8,000

Keep in mind that a normal month for me—my normal goal—is $1500. And a stretch goal is $2000. And I worry every month about making those goals—JUST like I did at the start of this month—so to hit $8,000 is simply unheard of. I’m still stunned.

I love my customers.

10 super random things you may not know about me

Posted on by — No Comments ↓
  1. My ears are uneven so glasses always sit askew.
  2. I have an abnormally large head—like baseball caps never fit large. If I’m taking a photo with Tom I will make him put his head in front of mine.
  3. I love the smell of smoke/campfires so much I will specifically not wash my hair or clothes after a fire.
  4. I hate selling but I love what I do. Which is mostly selling. So I call it sharing what I love.
  5. I have to drink water when eating ice cream.
  6. I still sometimes think “Oh my gosh I have two kids!” They are 8 and 12—you think I’d be way used to the idea by now.
  7. If I’m on time I feel like I’m late. I have to be early and get super anxious if I feel like I’m going to be late.
  8. I knew the night I met Tom that he was the one and we’d get married.
  9. I graduated from college in 3.5 years with no debt.
  10. I have very little sense of direction. I have gotten lost in malls.

Oh just getting some corporate awards for personal sales volume. No bigs.

Have you ever found yourself doing something you absolutely love, but never imagined yourself doing?! I’m the poster child for this!

I had so much fun tonight watching my friends earn incredible awards for their businesses! And I also may or may not have felt a little jolt when my name hit the big screen each time. Out of around 1500 men and women, I was recognized for being #300 in the USA and #276 in the World for personal sales! Doing some math, that’s the top 20%!

I absolutely couldn’t do it without my amazing customers that have followed me and supported the past four years… and I look forward to many more years!

At least Tom and I take turns.

Getting old sucks. I woke up this morning with a familiar twinge in my lower back which told me I’d have to be careful or it would go out on me. So I was careful. I squatted at the knees, didn’t bend over, did my stretches. I sat at my desk, walked around Costco with Anna, and then we went on a walk. I felt fine. Then guess what happened midway through my walk? ZING! My back went out. I managed to make it back and drive home but now I’m sacked out on ice on the couch with Maggie. I took whatever drugs Tom gave me and crossed my fingers—we have another appointment today at 4 (not for my back) and I hope I can make it.

We each went to Costco for thing.

Anna and I joked upon walking in that we were here to spend $200 on stuff we didn’t need. Because, you know, that’s what happens.

We each got a cart because we’ve learned and by the time we got to the end, this is what both our carts looked like.

The freaky thing? Our totals were only $10 difference and we had totally different stuff in our carts! We joked that we really are the same person!
