Some people say that guilt is a pointless emotion. I grew up Catholic so Catholic guilt was never absent at my house. And now that I am a mommy I am consumed with it on a daily basis.
Mommy guilt fills my thoughts even though there is nothing that I can do about it. Because of financial decisions I made pre-Mommyhood I must work. As a working mom there is daily guilt that gently tugs at my hearstrings. Is Lacey being persuaded to join preschool gangs? Is Alexis the target of 1 year old bullying? Later on in life will their therapists diagnosed them as messed up because their mom chose to work instead of staying home with them? Are they at daycare too long? Are they the first ones there? and the last ones to leave? Will they even recongnize me when I pick them up? I am constantly questioning my abilities as a mother.
So in an attempt to one day stay home AND make an income I am trying my hand at my very own business. The consignment business. And why not? Every parent knows from experience how quickly children outgrow their clothes. Once a child hits a growth spurt some items are bypassed, never to be worn or even have the original store tags removed! With the joys of motherhood I have discovered the high demand for childrens’ pre-loved clothing in my own efforts to recoup cash to use towards the next size of clothing items needed. So I created an online resale website called Consignment Crossroads.com. During the development of the website I was moved to provide a vehicle for others to become involved too. The more, the merrier, right? Together we can create a wonderful community where everyone has the opportunity to recycle, earn and save money as well. Consignment Crossroads offers a ‘crossroads’ where numerous buyers and sellers meet to recycle quality items. Consignment Crossroads’ goal is to provide a way to recycle those items and save money. This website is a low cost member’s site without the typical high prices or high consignment split shared between the consignor and the consignment business. (A very common split is 60/40 which means the consignment shop would keep 60% of the selling price of each item, and the seller, or the consignor, would only receive 40 %.) My online version is the perfect option to buy and sell 24/7 without leaving the comfort of your own home. I invite you to sell or shop our website. Should you accept I hope you enjoy yourself, meet some wonderful people, find A TON of quality items, earn a few bucks and save a few bucks. If you have any questions or comments or would like to share your experiences here, please send me or a member of the team a message.
Good luck,
