My Little Entrepreneurs

I guess running your own business runs in my family’s blood. The other night my eldest son, Liam 5 and my daughter, Shelby 4 where playing quietly together in the basement. I usually worry when they are playing quietly, but I could hear them talking. They weren’t fighting so I let them be. About an hour later I was greeted by a very enthusiastic “Mom you have to come see what we did!” As I headed downstairs I was a little worried as to what I was going to find. What I did find I never expected.

My children made a store; well actually it was more like restaurant.  They had a store front, sitting area and a TV lounge. They moved almost every item we have in our basement to create this space, which took up the majority of the basement. I couldn’t believe it. Liam told me, “this is where you give me your money and I will give you your food.”

I couldn’t help but giggle to myself. They worked so hard on this.  I love their enthusiasm and entrepreneur spirits.

Shopping Cart

It was brought to my attention there is some confusion with the shopping cart or checkout. Here at My Mommys Shop we use PayPal as our secure checkout provider. PayPal allows you, the customer, to use any credit card or debit card to make a purchase. You do not need a PayPal account to make a purchase from My Mommys Shop.

Once you have added the items you wish to purchase to the cart, then click checkout at the top right corner of the page.

There are five steps to our checkout page.

Step one allows you to sign-in, if you are a customer or checkout as a guest.

Here you will enter in your name, billing address, email etc

This is also where you would enter a promotional code for a discount.

Step two, is where you enter in your shipping address.

Step three, is where you can pick a shipping method. Most items have only one shipping option to insure the most cost effective method.

Step four is where the confusion came in.

Step four is called payment method. This is not where you enter in your credit card information. This step is only to let the customer know PayPal is the payment method  My Mommys Shop accepts.

Step five is where you review and confirm your order. Make sure your address is correct and the item you selected is the item in your cart. At this point you can cancel your order and go back to shopping. If all the information is correct and you want to continue on with your purchase, then click confirm. At this point you are now transferred over to the secure PayPal site where you enter in your credit card information.

I apologize for any confusion the checkout might have caused. Please email me if you have any other questions or concerns.

What a Mom can do!

It amazing me what a Mom can actually do, even when she thinks she can't.

Over the weekend half of my family was hit by the stomach flu. What makes it worse is not only did I have it myself, but so did my husband. So, there was no help in sight. The day seemed to last forever.

Thinking about it after, it just amazes me what a parent can do. I really felt like I was dying, but I was still able to change diapers, make food for my other not-sick children, and still hold back the hair of my very sick three year old daughter, oh ya and help my husband. To be honest he did get it worse then all of us :(

When you become a parent something sub-conscience happens to you; your kids come first. I never had the thought in my head after having my first, I will help my kids puke before myself. No it just happens that way. There is no preparing and no understanding unless you are a parent yourself.

Take a second today and thank your parents for all they did for you. It doesn't matter how old you are now, I know they will appreciate a well yearned thanks.
