The majority of the country is still on lockdown with signs of it being lifted soon but no true certainty of how it will all pan out. Will my neighbors come springing out of their homes and head for the beaches and enjoy the reason why they pay so much to live in California, or will leaving our homes be for going to a job they wished leaving as soon as they arrive at 9am on a Monday morning?

As a stay at home mom (for almost 13 years now) and a mom to a newborn, neither scenarios apply to me. Even with no lockdown, I would be home with my 4 parenting and homeschooling them. No, it isn’t always rosy like carelessly laying on a sandy beach (which, btw, a mom of 4 cannot do) but it isn’t terrible that I cannot wait for Friday once we crack open the English and math books on our Monday mornings.

The comforts of staying at home is – many times – reflected in the beauty of a home and the beautiful and eye-pleasing things in it (at least on Instagram) but I’m going to out myself and tell you that our place is nowhere Instagram perfect. And our learning area is not Instagram homeschool inspiring. The area in my home I once proudly shared, a corner window view of the evening twilight with an IMac where I did all my origami owl sales duties, vlogging and blogging, no longer exists. That has become my 13 year old’s school desk in full disarray and I have come to doing sales from my bed on my iPhone 6s with a newborn on my chest. Yes, this is how I’m writing this right now.

See?

The years I’m mentally beat myself for not having that perfect room or that perfect space like everyone else has before I do what I have to do, I’ve had to let it go.

Even if I didn’t have a newborn but just me and my almost 3 year old, it would not look like the picture above. Her quietly sitting on my lap letting me tap on my phone to post my jewelry or check my business stats online with no interruptions? Not in my world.

Despite my current situation and with things I have and not have in my home, there are things that I am still able to do on top of home, mother, and schooling duties: I can still sell and promote jewelry online – specifically, Origami Ow jewelry – and financially be able to have money for the extras.

As I lay here, I am still able to…

I get to help people like you share….

… with our customizable jewelry. And…

Each year, Origami Owl, through your purchases and sales of little people like me (called Independent Designers), help make life a little sweeter for others by living out our beliefs:

Every month, a charity or cause is chosen to benefit from sales of monthly exclusives. Every year, a family is gifted something big and a wish is granted from proceeds of Live Sparkly charms. Through such tiny pieces of jewelry, big things have happened.

And with our ongoing mission of the company that has stayed the same since our inception in 2012, more good things can happen.

Interested in being part of the mission or the bigger picture?

Maybe you have some time to open up a laptop and do more than watch people fight over the validity of a stay at home order and if your cart depicts you as a hoarder or not (Confession: family of 6 here; they assume my Costco-shopping hubby is a hoarder 🤣).

Your role with Origami Owl would be more than just a consumer and recipient of free jewelry as a hostess, but you would be earning commissions with sales made as an Independent Designer from advertising and coordinating jewelry bars from home.

If you’ve gotten this far, you may be wondering, “HOW?”

Origami Owl has so much training and support to help though Origami Owl’s scheduled communique. All you have to do is decide how much you want to “check in” or do with Origami Owl. Check in daily, once a week or month? It’s up to you.

There’s no monthly minimum purchases required of you to make commissions of 20-50% of everything piece your sell as an Independent Designer. There’s none of that monthly pay-to-play like many at home product sales jobs.

Think on it.. maybe some day or will today be your day?

Becoming an Independent Designer from home gives you:

* Discounts on jewelry the moment you are in

* Ability to make money from home when people order through your FREE personal URL (no monthly fees for this)!

* Become a part of something bigger – a force for good – in the world

But wait, there’s more! The newly unveiled perks for those who do well with their sales, get to earn goodies under the new rewards program.

Here’s the gist of it:

For now, first principles and think if sales from home is for you. If it is, I’d love to help you navigate the next steps. If not, no worries. I’ll just leave the link right here: https://locketsandcharms.origamiowl.com/enroll

I still struggle with the looks of my place but I’ve become much calmer about it now. For this season, I’ll hang on what I can have someday (House 2, House 6, and House 1 combined). I’ll continue to focus on the fact that I get to stay home and all the things I can do in it, mess and all!

I’ve said, if I didn’t have a newborn nursing in demand, I would have painted all my cabinets white by now and my kids would have finished a school year’s workload months before the year was over. But I digress… my cabinets are still seaweed green as it has been since the 2012 purchase of our home and my kids are still on pace – even slower than before, actually – despite more time due to outside activities and places to go, removed from our calendar due to Covid19. On the bright side, lots of things we do now that we didn’t do before. More on that on a different blog post.

What will you be doing during this time? And the time after?
