Lemons to Lemonade

Welcome back!

our natural based businesses on www.naturallydelightful.com
with a free month for you!

I have been contemplating for many months on what to do about the fact that I want to be making and selling soaps, bath items and all those other goodies with my Herbal Comfort Pillows on my website but I can’t, really I can’t. When I make soap and stuff it’s more like a creative outlet for me but not part of my business and I cannot keep up with the supply and demand. So I had to think long and hard about removing those items from my catalog online, but every time I got close I would snatch it back up and say ” I can do it I am SUPER BUSINESS MOM and I can do it all”! It’s probably because I love all those things and I want to sell them too.

I love to sell:)

Anyway, I finally let go, made my mind up and boy am I happy I did, it feels great to focus now.

Since I am *passionate about helping other business owners promote their businesses, I have decided to offer only my Herbal Comfort Pillows and Wraps for sale through my shopping cart on the site and provide valuable natural living content and a Natural Marketplace to display text advertisements and banners of other natural based businesses.  So, it’s like I am still selling those items, kind of, sort of.

I *promise I won’t just slap up some ads and take your money. I’ll be working hard for everyone’s best interest in my on going efforts to increase traffic to the site to *promote your business and mine.

I look forward to advertising many natural based businesses here please help spread the word about my free first month offer so I can get busy!

No more waiting forever for brownies to cool, no messy cutting, shorter baking time and they come out the perfect size by baking them in a muffin/cupcake baking pan with paper cups. These would be a great idea for your next bake sale.

My last blog post was showing off my flashy new blog design that I was so anxious to get 10 DAYS AGO!

Well, I could blame it on the illness that went through my house last week, but I still managed to get online so that wouldn’t be so truthful. I should just admit that I was stuck on what to blog about. Not that I didn’t have the ideas but every time I started a post I would stop and say “that isn’t worth the while or that would be better on another day” and then I would blog nothing. Sometimes I have ideas for certain events and I say” oh I have to come back and blog about that later” like Presidents Day for example…. I had some activities to do with your children on Presidents Day and I felt it was too soon to share it a week ago and then the day came and went I forgot about it…blah. I think I am trying so hard to connect to my audience I get overwhelmed.

I think I am going to start with some of the ideas on this free guide
