What am I doing these days?

I am finally getting into a routine and concentrating on working on my online retail store. And it is hard work, but a lot of fun.

Things that I have been busy with lately are paying sales tax to Washington State for all products sold and preparing my taxes. It is not as boring as it sounds, just a bit tricky the first time. And I really love doing all the different things you have to do when having your own business, everything from web design and taxes to customer interaction and market research. 

I have also finally found someone to help out with marketing, and I think it is going to be a fun team effort. Thanks Kristin for being such a good friend and for providing your expertise.

The best part with having your own business is being your own boss. I can make all the decisions and I can only be angry with myself for making the wrong ones. I also enjoy interacting with customers and selecting the products for my store. Life is good.

I am currently focusing on getting the word out about my business, so if you would like to help me, you can do so by liking my company Facebook page, and you can also go to my store and Facebook like one or several products or pin them on Pinterest. And if you have purchased a product in my store, please write a review if you liked it. I really appreciate your help.

Apart from running my business, I am enjoying reading time with little I. She is making great progress reading in Swedish and English. And I am very thankful for the library at Swedish School here in Seattle.

Z has just finished her finals and is planning for her trip to Vancouver this weekend where she will take part in Model UN where they practice international debates and discussions. Z is representing Sweden and will discuss copyright and women's education. I wish I could go! At least we can enjoy good and interesting conversations at the dinner table, apart from when little I totally takes charge and wants all the attention.
