 Enjoyed a weekend away

Every once in a while I like to go stay at my Mom's house. I miss her very much and the house is almost the same as it was when she passed away.  I've added af ew things but just some momentos, clothes, and things for the grandsons when they visit with us there.

I feel like I've overshopped at my Goodwills and Salvation Armies, so I went to Teen Challenge.  I only found one pair of Michael Kors shorts that I picked up for $3.40.  I may be able to list them for $35.

I did share a lot and added a few listings but mostly I just chilled for the weekend.

On Sunday, I decided to take my grandsons shopping for Valentime's cards for their school party coming up soon.  Since I am not taking care of them every day now, I worry that they are getting what they need.   I shouldn't worry.  They are fine.

When I did care for them, I had rules and they knew the word "no".  It is very important to instill values in kids so they make good choices as they grow older.  No is a very important lesson.  If they have no boundaries or limits then they may become very selfish and demanding.

I am happy to say both were very good in the store.  I gave them their limits before we went in.  Of course, the youngest did try to push the limit.  Here's how it went:

the 7 year old:  "Linda, I know what you are going to say but I think I will ask anyway."

me:  "ok".

7:  "May I also have this?"

me: "No"

7:  "That's what I thought you'd say.  Boundaries, right?"

me:  "Right"

They have learned!

So, I didn't do much in my closet other than a few basics but I did enjoy my weekend and my shopping trip with my grandsons.

On my closet though-  I received another 5 star rating on a dress I sold and a very complimentary note.  And, I sold a bundle of two dresses. 

I did watch a few videos and was encouraged that I do not have to do live shows to make sales.  It is a tremendous amount of work to do it right.
