Maternity is finally out for veiwing and we finally got our storage space.. Thank goodness we have been waiting for this space to hold all our extra's.
Our models for Posh Kids Etc had a wonderful shoot and hopefully will get the pictures out this weekend for veiwing. They are beautiful pictures..
I have teamed up with Salon Sophia 132 Ogden Ave Downers Grove IL 60515, Maggie Cuprisin Photography and neemies all of us are women who have taken our dreams and made them our jobs.

Maggie Cuprisin Photography catches all those special moments in your life that you want to remember forever.
neemies is a local stay at home mom who has put her love for sewing into designing unique and beautiful children's clothing.
Then there is me who owns Posh Kids etc. My love for dressing my children on a budget. My entire life I have always wanted to do something with children and clothing. After receiving my teaching degree, I soon realized it was very hard to raise my daughter on my own with a starting salary of a teachers wages. I moved into the business world and was not happy at all. Met the man of my dreams and everything started to fall into place. We have 1 daughter and 2 boys and one grandson. Life is wonderful! About 8 years ago when the economy started to take a dive I was laid off from my job in the business world. I decided I wanted to figure out how I could stay at home with my kids. My daughter was entering High School and dressing was all about labels. So I started the wonderful world of ebay. I would list her clothes that she was tired of and in return give her the money to repurchase new items. Wow, this was kinda neat! My daughter then started bringing me stuff all the time can you please sale this and give me the money. I would sometimes make more than what I purchased the item for and she was thrilled. I soon started doing what I loved best shopping and then listing it on Ebay. This caught on my friends started asking me to sale for them and giving me a percent of the sale price. I had it great, staying home with my kids and making money at the same time. Then the economy kept just getting worse and resale started booming. So I have now opened a little Consignment Boutique called Posh Kids Etc.. A dream come true! I have been opened 6 weeks and have been doing wonderful. I hope it continues and I am so thankful for being able to do something I love. So I have to say never give up following your dreams. There has been ruff roads along the way but I have a hard time remembering them as the wonderful life I am living now is a dream come true. I hope if anyone reads this this will inspire you to never give up and live your dreams. Make sure you check out my store if you are in the area or even check out our website or facebook page. Living one day at a time! Recycle and save! This had to be my thinking when I went from having a posh job to not having a job at all. Recyle your children's clothes, toys, shoes, baby gear and save so much along the way!
