My Thing

I feel like everyone has got something going on these days. From homemade crafts, to workout groups, to kitchen ware, to jewelry - and then even blogs and instagram - its almost rare if you aren't making money in a "non-traditional" way! I have some very talented friends and family who have chosen these paths! My cousin Hayden just launched her own Etsy shop selling custom art, Melanie is making beautiful kids clothing at The Twirl Shop, and Katherine designs birth announcements and invitations! My sister was a BeachBody coach for a little while and had us all drinking those shakes! Women are getting paid to write about products they love, share links to fashion sites and any other kind of advertising you can do on a blog! And all of these things are wonderful! If you have the talent and passion, pursue it!


I am SO excited to say that my "something" is Rodan+Fields skincare! My friend Susan first approached me about it back in July and I ignored her message! However, the more I saw about the products and read about the business, I knew it was the right thing for me! (I will never have an Etsy shop - craftiness is just not in my genes!) There are a few reasons why I decided to jump in and join this business:

* Taking care of my skin is not a new thing for me. I have always been a diligent face wash/moisturize day and night kind of person. But, the products I could afford weren't exactly doing anything to help protect and prevent my skin from aging! I know that investing in my skin today is going to make a huge impact in how it looks in 20 years. Knowing I would be getting quality skincare at a price I could afford was a huge bonus

* Even from just looking around Facebook and blogposts of women who sell, I could see that Rodan+Fields is built upon an amazing community of women. From random pictures posted from Conventions, to the amount of social media support, these women seemed to be finding real relationships among the business of skin care. That was very intriguing to me!


* Contributing to my family financially. There are trips we'd like to take, a mini-van I'd like to buy, accessories and decor for our apartment, etc. If there was a way I could earn some extra cash to go towards extra fun things in our life - without adding more hours away from my sweet boys - well that sounds great!

I am less than a week in and I have to say all of these things have proven to be true. I was immediately invited into a great community of women who are so encouraging and helpful. I can't wait to meet them all in person! Though the snow seems to have delayed my shipment of products, I have high hopes for posting my own before/after photos! And I know that in just a few months, we'll be able to start adding a few extras to make our life a little more fun!

While you won't see me with a sewing machine, hosting parties, or creating challenge groups, I will be sharing the amazing ways Rodan+Fields is helping me, and thousands of others, attain amazing skin and financial gains!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
