The NorMel House

Another crazy day in the life of me. I've apparently decided that if all the vendors events are expensive than I should just throw my own. It's been a ridiculously busy couple of days. Not physically, but a whole lot of correspondence with a whole lot of people! As it stands I've got 19 or so vendors lined up for this coming Saturday from 10-3 at my church. I've put out an ad, sent it around fb pages and groups and will be doing posters. Really hoping we get lots of traffic, there's some pretty great vendors lined up! If you don't have plans, come on down, have a cup of coffee and some goodies and shop! 353 Stone Church Rd E Hamilton Ontario. Sat Dec 3, 2016 from 10-3...and bring a friend ;) And now I'm off to zzzzzzzland! From the NorMel House where things are anything but normal, hope to see you Saturday! http://www.kijiji.ca/v-events/hamilton/one-stop-holiday-shop/1219599888?siteLocale=en_CA

What a crazy busy and fun day! My vendor event was tonight and I had so much fun!!!! It was busy, and I sold some products, talked to a LOT of people and really had a good time. Plus I used my new Square, so it's already come in handy! Today kinda made me feel like a chicken with its head cut off. (I really hope you know that expression- if you've never experienced the source of it, I can honestly tell you it's an accurate description). I got up early (the dogs are used to getting up with Norm so him being away for work means I get woken up earlier than usual, as Mr Knightly and Mrs Roxie require a bathroom break and breakfast). Let them out, gave them breakfast and went back to bed; apparently my lack of sleep decided to catch up with me. Got up, had coffee, designed a Norwex sale picture for the Facebook group, packed everything up and realized I needed to get going or I'd be late. Trying something new: my first Osteopath appointment. She was super nice, came acros...

How do you turn your brain off? You know, when you're body is tired, but your thoughts are racing. I love being an Independent Norwex Consultant, and I know it's probably the newness of it all, but I am constantly thinking Norwex. What kind of displays can I make? What should I do for games and prizes or draws? How can I get out there and share this amazing stuff? Am I doing it justice in how I talk about it? How do I cram all the benefits of using Norwex into a few words? And it goes on... I think I'm so excited about it I can't seem to turn it off in order to sleep lol... I went to bed over 2 hours ago and yet here I am, wide awake with Norwex on my brain. So, my question is, how do you deal with something like this? New job, new relationship, new car, new whatever it is that's making you too excited to sleep... Normally I would try reading or listening to something, or even reciting passages from memory in an attempt to get my mind on something good and peacefu...

Ever have it where everything feels damp and you just can't get warm? Last night and today seems to be one of those times for me...Could it be lack of sleep??????????????????????? I'm sitting on my couch, wearing the ugliest sweater known to mankind, pink fluffy monster toe socks, and drinking a VERY LARGE coffee. I had a fantastic night doing a Norwex party for a wonderful young lady and we ended up chatting for a long time afterwards. Completely didn't realize it was nearly 1 am until I got in my car to go. Oops. The evening was a blast; I blundered my way through attempting to remember to tell them some factual things, but really ended up talking more about the products I use and love, and why I love them. Honesty speaks volumes I believe. On a different note, Hamilton has decided to start showing signs of the season change, its getting pretty chilly in the mornings! I normally love the cold, but the damp cold is just a nasty feeling if you ask me. Time to turn the f...

Saturday...Don't you love Saturdays? I do. Saturday's are great. I get to spend time with the hubby, and we either get lots done oooooor nothing at all. Despite the dismal grey looming out the front window; today has actually been a fruitful and rewarding day so far! The Nor of the family has put carpet down in the basement and is currently working on our front door. I have to laugh. We've been here for over 6 years and we're finally working on the front door. We never really use it so we never really think about it; unfortunately there comes those moments when someone comes that isn't a usual guest and you embarrassingly realize you still haven't fixed it. I'm happy to say the side door was made a beautiful slate blue a few weeks ago already, and the last few layers of paint on the front door will hopefully be gone soon! You have to love the hideous teals and yellows they used back in the 50s... The Mel in the family, aka me, has attempted to get things d...
