About Me:
I'm a mom of three wonderful children. I've been married to the most supportive guy around for 9 years. I have been pouring soy wax candles since 2004. It started out as a hobby because I had so many jelly jars laying around the house. So I did some research then started playing with wax. I enjoyed it so much I did more and more research and joined some awesome groups. Soon after that I started giving them away as gifts to family and friends. Well it didn't take long for all sorts of requests to start coming in. That's when my hubby said, it's time to start charging for these candles! So I did! It's been a great ride so far and I plan on continuing that ride for a long, long time!

Life has gotten in the way

So life around here has been a little hectic since school started (August 21). Right as the new school year started I aquired 2 part time jobs. They kind of fell into my lap. Nothing glamorouse but they bring in much needed spending money. Between the two jobs I have had a total of 3 whole days off and not 3 days in a row either! Throw in football, soccer, cub scouts, and church events and I am whooped! Not to mention the orders that need filled and a fundraiser that is set to end tomorrow (S…
