Selling Childrens Items

I decided back in February that I was going to make cloth diapers for my son and after a lot of research, tons of information and some tax money, I went for it!!

Well that "little idea" has cost me more money that I could have ever imagined because NOW I know what co-ops are, I'm apart of MANY groups on Facebook that sell supplies or fabric, and I absolutely love to sew for my kids!

Upon my searches I figured "wow! I can make this into a business!" and so I did!

or so I thought...

Instead! I found a group on Facebook called "CD Compliance" a group DEDICATED to helping those of us "naive think we can do whatever we want people", and REALLY getting them (us) to think and even a bit...ok a LOT discouraged) After reading about the permanent or temporary tags, the woven or satin, the care and fabric, certificates required for testing...testing on my OWN... I thought "Holy crap! Is this what I want to do!?"

Of course the answer was yes.

So I got my tags, I got my labels. And away I went!

For those who don't know, CPSIA passed a law that helps protect children under 12 from hazards. This means that all products must be tracked to ensure the safety and to be recalled if needed. (Like the drop-side cribs). This is NOT a nuisance! This is to protect our children!

Below I added my first creations:

My very first attempt

Minnie Mouse dress I made for my daughter

First "real" diaper

Ribbon Blanket for my son

Of course my husband loves comics....

This was also made for my son... but my niece basically stole it ;) (shes 2 weeks younger)

Some of my favorite diapers

Also a favorite, sorry for the sideways shot! 

Jealousy

In today's society, there are many ways to cheat, flirt or act inappropriate towards another person that is not their significant other. People acting suspicious when they should be trustworthy. They may feel its completely harmless, when in actual fact, it's destroying the other person and making things worse.

People are naturally jealous. And it can be about a NUMBER of things.
Skinnier
Better job
Children
Relationships
Significant others

And many more.

But it doesn't help when people blatantly hide things to "protect" someone, because it just makes you seem more suspicious. Being jealous from time to time is normal...
So how do you deal with the jealous feelings you are experiencing daily?
What are the causes of jealousy?

Lets start with the causes.

The most common is your insecurity about yourself.
Another is suspicion.
and Finally, negative thinking.

So how do you deal with these jealous feelings?
First talk about your insecurities, and why you feel the way you do.
        Make sure you remain calm and continue to talk about your feelings and not attacking the person for how they are behaving. This results in fights, and unnecessary arguments that could have been avoided.

Second, try to think about things in a more positive way. Instead of going straight for "I will never lose weight" or "He's cheating on me" Come up with a more positive alternative. "If I exercise 3 times a week, it will take a while to see results, but I will feel better about myself."

Finally, Gain more information. This is hard and can either be a positive thing or a negative thing. The negative would be how you get the information. You could end up causing an even bigger fight, than just talking to a person calmly. So keep in mind, when obtaining more information, how it will effect things long term and if you'd like someone doing that to you.
