I have worked since I was 15 years old, starting at a little boutique steaming cloths for my mom's friend. I thrive on taking a challenge and completing the challenge or working hard to complete any task that is given to me. I am a very dependable, organized, timely person and I am good at multi-tasking. I am a hard worker and I believe in completing the job set before me. I am very hands-on and love to learn new things. I am a leader by nature but I do know how to follow a good leader and learn from them.
My husband has been the provider of our home for most of our married life. He has allowed me to stay at home with our children for most of their lives and I am thankful every day for that opportunity and for him being willing to work for us. While I have not had many jobs outside of our home, I have been very involved in church (scheduling and organizing many events, and managing people :-)), raising our children and homeschooling our children most of their school career. I have a lot of experience in a lot of areas in life that jobs won't necessarily give you, but I know some of my experiences came from the few jobs I worked.
My husband is currently working for Gulf Shores School System as the Transportation Director and he is the Youth Pastor at our church in Bon Secour. All of our children are grown; Our oldest daughter is getting married in April and currently works at Gulf Shores High School as the Clerk, our son is in the Air Force and is stationed at Luke AFB in Glendale, AZ, and our youngest daughter is in college at West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster, CA.
This leaves me ready to start a next chapter in my life. I am looking for something part time so that I can provide a little extra income for our family, get me out of the house for a little bit each day, help others, and still have time to be the mom that I love being.
My oldest daughter and I owned a T-shirt printing business for two years.
We made the product in our garage and had an online store. We also set up a booth at many events throughout Indiana.
My youngest daughter along with another young lady designed most of our T-shirt designs that we printed.
I made jewelry, scrunchies, bags, and children's bloomers to sell as well.
I personally managed the budget, ordering product, printing the product, packaging and mailing, and troubleshooting. As well as running the booths.
Cooking is a very fun thing for me! I love trying new recipes but more than that I simply love being in the kitchen cooking! it is a stress reliever for me! Crafting was and is a way for me to use my small creative side! Puzzles have a special place in my heart. It was the one thing that my son loved doing as a kid and we did them together for a long time. We would race to see who could get the most put together. It is just a fun little thing I still love doing. Board games are a family event for us. Sewing and painting are just some things that I have recently picked up and enjoy doing in my spare time. The beach, well it is a refuge for me! It is a place of rest, appreciation, memories, and a reminder of my God's creation!
