B & B Dreams

Just signing up for this blog has inspired me.  I still need to find time to really get out there and read other people's entries in this area, but . . .

I ordered some jewelry-making supplies.  My daughter and I will start "creating."  The next big hurdle is marketing -- which I already know I won't be good at.  I'm just not a salesperson.  So maybe I'll find some great tips out there.

I remember years ago, when my son wanted to find ways to earn money -- and he still does.  The Vision Forum catalog had this great gumball machine.  I thought, how perfect for a young guy.  Not really difficult.  Just refill the machine and collect the money.  Unfortunately, after looking into the possibility further, I learned that the "red tape" and "regulations" in the "big city" would make it a huge headache.  So we're still looking for an opportunity for him.  We've thought about pet-sitting and lawn mowing and woodcrafting.  For now, he collects cans.  Not exactly lucrative, but it's something.

Time is also a consideration.  With 3 children ages 4 and under, there really isn't a lot of spare time to go around.

Can anyone recommend good web sites or books or other bloggers who've walked this path already?
