My first post at the new eBay channel at eMoms at Home began with the admission that Goose had just eaten a piece of pink chalk while I was launching an eBay listing. As the revamped eMoms at Home was on the cusp of launching, I sat here pondering how to announce my channel, eBay Selling for eParents. While I delved into the recesses of my velveteen mind, my divided attention was drawn to Goose once again... and his purple mouth.
While he and Pants were drawing with markers (non-toxic washable markers, thank the Lord for some good sense around here), Goose decided that his looked good enough to eat. So he bit off the entire tip and apparently sucked out some of the ink. You've heard of "Pinch the Tail, Suck the Head"* for crawfish? Mah son is a good ole' Southern boy through and through, because if it's good for crawfish, it's bound to be great for art supplies.
And with that illustration of my multi-tasking prowess, I proudly invite you to join me over at my new eMoms at Home blog:
As a new featured author on Wendy Piersall's redesigned eMoms at Home site, my goal is for the eBay Channel to give stay-at-home parents interested in selling on eBay the one thing I believe has been missing: a personally voiced, down-to-earth, relatable resource for ending your hesitation and finally launching the one business-in-your-pajamas venture you have always wanted to try.
Stop by and say hey! Check out my new digs. Velveteen Mind will always be my home, but now I have a place for all of my eBay stories about wacky customers and the gajillions of dollars I have pouring in that I thought would just clutter up the nice, neat, humble environment I've created here... :P I crack myself up.
Oh, and for any of you who dare ask me again, "Wherever do you find the time?," allow me to add this final note: While finishing this post, good ole Goose ate the tip off of a green marker. We're going for a diaper full of Mardi Gras colors today. All we're missing is gold and I don't even want to think where we might find that one.
That's right, I won't slow down until Child Protective Services has my number on speed dial.
God, I love these kids. And the fact that they are awesome and alive, despite the fact that I have no less than two blogs and an eBay store should be testament to the authority with which I will be writing eBay Selling for eParents. If I can do it, believe me, so can you.

*The last time I mentioned "Pinch the Tail, Suck the Head," I linked to Dew on the Kudzu and their excellent description of the proper way to eat crawfish. As it happened, the awesome Idgie over there later featured my post Camille was a Lady. Katrina was a Bitch in his online magazine of all things deliciously Southern. Thanks, Idgie! Ya'll check it out... after you check out eBay Selling for eParents, though. ;)
