Business Official

Yep it's official, I am a business woman now ;p

I have just ordered my first batch of business cards!!!

I must say I did an awesome job. They are just as cute and fun as me!!! They definitely match my personality!!!!! :) I am so excited to start handing these out!!! 

You know another way of marketing your business is by simply leaving your business card EVERYWHERE YOU GO!!!

Going to the mall? Hit up the bathroom, leave a few on the sink.

Going to the gym? Leave a few on the equipment or in the locker rooms.

Going to the coffee shop? Leave a few on a couple of tables!

Going anywhere you think your targeted audience might be at? LEAVE A FEW CARDS!!!!!

Here's what my Cards look like

I love it!!! I just absolutely LOVE it!!!! So excited! Just SO EXCITED!!!!!!! :)

Marketing!

Hey everyone!

So today I definitely cracked down on my marketing strategies. As many of you know I run my own business from home, partnered up with an amazing health and wellness company. My targeted audiece is mainly families because this health and wellness company offers a variety of 100% ALL NATURAL products, one of them being household cleaning products. With a lot of knowledge about the chemicals in other products it was very important to me to keep my home CHEMICAL FREE because of my daughter. I wouldn't want to clean around her with CHEMICAL. I want to be able to share this amazing breakthrough with other families so they can make their home a CLEAN, CHEMICAL FREE home also!! :)

I tried a brain storming 120 ideas. Of those 120 maybe only 5 of them actually seems achieveable on my budget (FREE!)
1) LABOR & DELIEVERY: I know many hospitals give "baby bags" to families after giving birth. I called my local L&D dept to see if I could add a flyer to the bags and they informed me the bags actually came from another company but the manager says she loves what I am doing and what I have to offer so she told me I could instead leave the flyers on the nurses station for new moms AND VISITORS to take :) all for FREE! How's that for a WIN! ;)
2) REAL ESTATE: I contacted my local real estate offices and officers to see if they would like the idea of leaving a "move-in/ WELCOME HOME" gift for the new owners filled with some of my amazing products, seeing as they are for use around the household it would be a wonderful way to welcome and leave a "personal touch" to seeing a home.
3) DAYCARE: okay this one was HUGE for me because of all of the kids in a daycare! I mean hello! Who wants to let their child play with a chemical covered toy? Obviously it needs to be sterilized and most day cares use CLOROX wipes. Clorox? Around my child? NO THANK YOU! I am working to make my island a better place for the "keiki". To keep them healthy and clean without those harsh chemicals
4) CLEANING BUSINESSES: this was another big one for me, these poor people are just intoxicating their lungs and the rest of their bodies by being in contact with and breathing in these harsh chemicals EVERYDAY! Also now they may offer a "green clean" to their clients, I'm sure they would appreciate that ;)
5) GYMS: every gym needs to clean/sterilize all or their equipment so why use harsh chemicals to do so? Hundreds of people are going in and out of there. And the people that need to clean them? They're the ones having no choice but to inhale that nasty chemical smell. It also calls for a healthier body, which if you're going to the gym; you're probably interested in.

So those were a few of my "brilliant" ideas. They seem to be working out pretty well. I hope this may help some of you. If you want help or want more info on what I do... go to www.workingwiththekids.com

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!

I just want to take a moment to say Happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there! Especially the one's that have taken over the role of "daddy". To do so you really need to be a man with a genuinely loving heart and kind mind :) I praise you daddies today! We just got back from our annual trout fishing trip! :)

Also would love to give a huge huge loving HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to my "baby daddy", Dane. You have grown into such an incredible man and provider for our Ohana.  I could not begin to thank you enough for all you've done and continue to do for Sophia and I. You truly surprised me :) I'm proud of the man you are today. I love you with all of my heart and more!!!

Happy DADDIES day guys!!!!!!

Just another perk

So yesterday I took the day off. I mean really took the day off. I started my morning making lactation macarons and spent the rest of the day jist playing with my baby girl. She is so incredibly smart! I am one PROUD MAMA!!!! Guys! It really makes a difference staying hoke and having that one on one with your child. They learn SO MUCH! You know the brain grows the moat in the first 3 years?! They are like sponges!!!! I advise every parent to just TALK to your child. Even if they are a day old! TALK TO THEM!!! and not in a baby voice. Talk to them like a normal person. Like you were having a conversation with your best friend! I talk to Sophia all day, everyday. And it is just amazing how many words she can say and how well she speaks for a 14month old. We are always complimented on how well she speaks and how much she can say CLEARLY!

Okay okay so that was a bit of a proud mommy brag there ;p sorry! Anyway! Hope you all have an AWESOME day! Take the time to kiss your little one today! :)

XOXO, bre!

Redecorating and Reorganizing

Today I am on a mission to redecorate and reorganize our bedroom. I'm thinking of changing the sceme to more teals and bluish colors!! :) Pier 1 just opened up here and they have soooo many amazing things!!! :) although I'm not sure how much shopping I'll get done with the other half over my shoulder ;p right?! My father in law keeps bringing home all of these beautiful mirrors and other furniture from hotels (he does renovations there). So I am thinking of putting up a big beautiful mirror, possibly painting it to match the room a bit better? Right now it is a dark wood frame. Not sure how well that'll match, but we'll see :) So excited to do something new to our room! It is long overdue! Its been about a year since we changed things up... yikes! And right now it is a light green and beige color sceme. I may post pictures if I finish enough of it! :)
Hope you all are having a beautiful weekend!!! XOXO <3

CLEAN HOME!

I cannot go on enough about how much I LOOOOOOVE my cleaners that I just got in the mail! And the fact that they are 100% all natural and chemical free is just a huge bonus! They smell amazing! They take out stains from anywhere you could possibly imagine! I could go on for years and years about how wonderful this amazing stuff is! The absolute best part is I can clean while Sophia is around, I am not worried about her inhaling chemicals or anything like that, in fact I got her in on the fun and had her wiping the sofa down :) Free labor ;p LOL! But seriously guys! I wish I knew about these so much sooner! And the laundry detergent? JUST AMAZING! I catch Sophia sticking her face in and smelling every single load out of the dryer ;) I am IN LOVE!!!! Any other healthy and all natural moms out there that care about the environment?! I'd just love to share this amazingness with EVERYONE! If I could yell from the top of a building I'd preach about this stuff! Hehe! Seriously this is something every mom should know about!!! Okay now that you know I'm crazy about cleaning you may continue to go about your day ;p LOL!
Have a nice day guys!!!! :)

Okay so here are some pictures of my sofa I cleaned (This is my in-laws furniture: mind you it has never been cleaned, that's like 20yrs of nastiness piled up)

And like the space case that I am, I forgot to take "before" pictures until I realized what a big diff it made... So this one is just an idea of how dirty it WAS (it was actually a little more dirty this pic is after a little bit of cleaning, then I realized I should have taken pictures)

This is our Loveseat sofa AFTER cleaning

And this is our full sized sofa AFTER cleaning....

Wanting Another....

Soooo as much as I love love love my growing baby girl, I can't help but to have baby fever! Everyone around me is having babies and I just reminisce about when Sophia was a newborn and that tiny little everything on her! AAAAAAH! But on the other hand I love spending my days with just her and giving her so much attention, I realize how advanced she is compared to other kids her age whose parents do no get a lot of time to spend with them. I am grateful that I have such a wonderful provider and that I have this opportunity to work from home, I can't explain how much it truly means to me. We have so much more to accomplish before we can add another Little Buggy to this family... But knowing that a baby is at the end of this journey makes everything worth it! I know that once we do all that is needed I can have another little one in my arms :) Hopefully sooner than we plan ;p Any other mamas with Baby Fever out there that has to wait?! Waiting is such a paaaaaaain ):
