I wrote a while ago about how I was going to sign up to become a Discovery Toys consultant. Well, I did it. I got my consultant number and everything!

I’m a little unsure where to go next though. I got an e-mail last week telling me welcome on board. So, I guess my next step is to either buy some toys or tell line up some parties? They don’t give you a whole lot of information or guidance right away. I think I’m supposed to have a bunch of toys coming in the mail soon, so maybe I’ll feel more direction once those arrive.

An admission http://www.beautifulletdown.net/an-admission/ http://www.beautifulletdown.net/an-admission/#comments Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:39:50 +0000 Casey http://www.beautifulletdown.net/general/an-admission/ First of all, I’m wondering what admission my husband is thinking I’m going to make. Haha. Too bad that I can’t keep him in suspense while making the admission to everyone else.

Unfortunately, it’s nothing too steamy. I decided that I am going to sign up to become a Discovery Toys consultant. I went to a party in February, and I loved their toys. They were high quality and good for kids, and they have a variety that you don’t see at Target or Toys R Us much of the time. We also have 7 nieces and nephews that we buy birthday and/or Christmas presents for each year. Of those seven, 6 are 6 and younger. That’s not the admission.

Here it comes! Brace yourselves!

I told the woman who I signed up under that I wanted to be a consultant mostly to buy toys for my nieces and nephews and my two boys. The truth is that I wouldn’t mind making some money doing this, too. Whew. Why was that so hard? I suppose it’s because it means that I have to admit that we’re not living in the lap of luxury otherwise. I mean, we’re doing fine, but a little extra income would be nice from time to time. There I got it out.
