Work and Play...same thing in my world!

I've been gone to the lake for the past 8 days on vacation!  Don't be jealous ;)  If it makes you feel any better we had 6 kids and 8 adults in the cabin half the time.  Still, it was a lot of fun, we do this every year and the last weekend of it my entire extended family on my husbands side joins us.  I bet you're thinking, "That's a lot of in-laws!"  Lucky for me, I <3 my in-laws.  I thank god every day that I have not ONE but TWO amazing families.  Here is a pic of the entire clan at the lake!


 
AND even though  I was having a blast at the lake, I was still able to work!  Which is an awesome benefit of owning your own business.  Here's a pic I snapped while "working." 
 
 
 I LOVE that I can do my job anywhere!  I can be sitting in my PJs at home on my couch snuggled up with my kiddos,  and be helping to support our family.  Or in this case, I was at the lake vacationing!  If you'd like info on how YOU can do the same thing you can Email Me or go to Just Jewelry!  
I've been clearing out my inventory to get ready for the new line that launches on the 11th at conference (AKA-the ball my daughter thinks I'm attending ).   I still have quite a bit left for sale if you want to check it out go to my FB page Just Jewelry by Lindsay B .  There is an album with all my in stock items!  I've also been trying my hand as a stylist ;)  Well, a jewelry stylist at least.  Send me a pic of your outfit, and Ill coordinate the jewelry for it to create a "look."  Here is an example of one I did recently.
 
 

You can Email Me a pic of your outfit, and Ill style it for FREE!!  Also you have NO obligation to purchase anything!  I enjoy doing it, and would love to have more samples like this one, so go crazy!
Also on a side note Id LOVE it if you'd "Pin" my jewelry and styling pics to your Pinterest board!  Just click the pin button beneath a picture!

My Daughter thinks Im a Princess

So, due to my success with Just Jewelry I have been invited to attend a National Achievers Gala in a couple weeks!  This is a formal event where I, along with several other "achievers"  will be recognized for our work throughout the year.  I have been in the market for a "gown" and my daughter is in AWE of this. 
Shopping with kiddos is NEVER fun.  Even at its best, there are bathroom breaks in every store, The kids want to play hide and seek in the racks (giving me a heart attack), they are thirsty (which leads to another bathroom break).  Sooo to make it a little more exciting, I MAY have told my very girlie daughter that I was shopping for a gown because I had been invited to a ball.  I didn't think she would take it so seriously but she is VERY excited about this "ball."  She keeps asking me when it is, and if there will be princes there, and who I will dance with at the ball.  To give you a little context on how much my daughter loves princesses here is a photo of her newest outfit ;)


 
 
 
The "Ball" Im going to is at the Just Jewelry National Conference.  I am SOOO excited to get to see the brand new line launched!!  They recently did a "Prelaunch" with about 15 items or so.  They are super cute so I cant wait to see what else JJ has in store for the Fall line!!  Here are a few pics of what we have been shown so far!  Go to Just Jewelry By Lindsay B or Just Jewelry to order or email me

Glitz and Glam and Teddy Grahams

Hello Everyone!!  I am starting this blog as a complete experiment so bear with me.  I promise I WILL NOT be the best writer.  Hopefully though my posts will be enjoyable, even if the punctuation isn't always right, or I have run on sentences, or typos (I'm sure my mother will tell me don't worry)! 

My name is Lindsay!  I am a "stay at home mom"  which any mom knows is such an inaccurate representation of our daily life.  I RARELY  "stay at home".  On top of soaking up as much of my kiddos childhoods as I can, I also run two home businesses.  The first, I started when my daughter, who is now 3, was a baby.  She was diagnosed with Plagiocephaly and got to sport an adorable cranial remolding helmet for about 5 months.  I started researching decorative items for it immediately and to my dismay there was VERY LITTLE.  So I made my own.  3 years later I am still running Stylin Baby Helmets from my home. 

Almost exactly a year ago, I decided my life wasn't crazy enough, and took on a new venture.  Jewelry.  And this is where the Glitz and the Glam meets the Teddy Grahams.  I am now a Team Leader with a wonderful company called Just Jewelry.  I LOVE being able to help women Glam up their outfits at an affordable price tag.  Even more than that I love being able to share this amazing company with other women like myself.  It has been such a blessing to my life, and its only been a year!!  I cant wait to see what the future holds!  If you haven't heard of Just Jewelry you should definitely check out their catalog!  Go to www.JustJewelry.com/LindsayB.  I promise you will fall in love just like I did.  If you do and you'd like to follow my sales and promotions go to my Facebook page Just Jewelry by Lindsay B .  I have tons of giveaways, sales, and specials, so you'll definitely want to "Like" my page to keep up to date! 

Being a mom of two isn't easy, so you can imagine that when you throw two home based businesses into the mix life can get a little messy.  My plan is to share it all.  The good, the bad, the funny, the sad.  I will share about my adorable babies ( who sadly aren't babies anymore), my wonderful husband (although I'm sure he would prefer me not talk about him too terribly much), and of course I will share some shiny jewelry and how to make it work with any budget or wardrobe (what kind of Jewelry lady would I be if I didn't!).  I hope you enjoy it all!  The Glitz, The Glam, and the Teddy Grahams.
