My phone broke and my car is well on it's way and I just found out that the IRS is \"reviewing\" my tax returns,<br> whatever that means to them. What it means to me is that the sorely needed cash injection I have been awaiting is not coming and I am stuck when it comes to buying inventory for my business. Basically my \"plan A\" has been blown to shit for at least a little while,<br> so I am back to hustling to make things happen for our little family.\n\nAmazon has been going pretty well lately,<br> but its just not enough to survive,<br> so we have been selling banana bread every chance we get and it is gaining a little bit of a reputation. It may sound lame,<br> but now that the kids are a little older they have learned focus and we are making extra money every weekend now. \n\nI told them I would take them to the waterpark on saturday,<br> but the weather was bad,<br> so as you can imagine,<br> by Sunday,<br> everyone was a little bummed. I decided to make a batch of bread and take them out to Makaha beach to sell it and then I promised that I would swing by Pokai Bay on the way home so they could swim.\n\nIf you know me from facebook,<br> you know that my kids are only a year and a half apart and that I have been a single mom from jump. It has not always been an easy ride and over the years,<br> I came up with a very fitting name for these two: \"The Tullis Terror Twins.\" They have outnumbered me pretty much from day one,<br> so I often feel as if I look like the Tasmanian Devil in public,<br> you know with two kids running in a dusty circle around me at all times lol\n\n![IMG_6025.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTSHXdJdarXCkvUF8Tc7D8tVi8wAZxc5YhfkcGMq1ga7q\/IMG_6025.jpg)\n\"Terror twins\" at Makaha Beach about to sell some bread. Kaliya Brielle on left and Jonah on right.\n\nWhen we got to Makaha,<br> it was still very overcast and it looked like the sunset was gonna be lame,<br> but there were little waves,<br> which means PEOPLE ON THE BEACH! This place has been a goldmine for us lately. We used to hit three or four beaches up the coast and maybe sell ten breads,<br> but now we go to Makaha and within a half an hour the kids usually sell out.\n\n![IMG_6071.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTA2Jgha8Yp7AqfajPg4x3AYyY99kJhW8h6n2Sve5GN4i\/IMG_6071.jpg)\n\nWe were not the only ones selling at the beach yesterday,<br> the shave ice guy was there as well.\n![IMG_6072.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmURtBCa3tZRAqDC3hPLkXhHVZdXAH2dK3Cke997oZyqss\/IMG_6072.jpg)\n\nRandom car with Reggae towel shot. This is country lol\n![IMG_6073.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZaH3bHEGAxXP3xYJRHaWFdV1uPfUPeGRWiGyDFk9Wrie\/IMG_6073.jpg)\n\nThe kids doing their thing. I love watching them sell. They have come so far in the last few months with their work ethic.\n![IMG_6074.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZvSWiDxMXWKHb2GV9uiHUkRNxkSRUMAC21QjFNfe4DCN\/IMG_6074.jpg)\n\nRewarded for their hard work with shave ice!!\n![IMG_6086.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmciX87J3CVmypamaar8BjQde9yo5fijWQhcaHFPwTeCND\/IMG_6086.jpg)\n\nThen we went over to a second beach called Pokai Bay which is closer to our home and A LOT less famous. This is where people around here take their kids to swim because it is calm and you can easily keep an eye on them from the beach.\n![IMG_6082.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmV9YKF3rs3PhCrCjCLr54qZZ8kStKnSr3LXDixRZr9U7H\/IMG_6082.jpg)\n\nHappy selfie!\n![IMG_6089.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZ1CLHC2nWpezE7zvTaCnKYZGe8Y9K2KKpoNKE2k1gNtz\/IMG_6089.jpg)\n\nRight before dark,<br> the sun came out and we were able to bask in a beautiful sunset <3 <3\n![IMG_6095.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmfEyZriEpv3VFnrAFG2GHg9eTVb1aXpsTBsoHea3yk4Mi\/IMG_6095.jpg)\n\n\nJojo found an old 40 filled with sand and turned it into a stand on which to practice yoga poses. They both got into it and we got some great pictures. \n![IMG_6109.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmST3CP9cQnZTr2NKURzVattDRToZi5GiTAJebuxY8CkqL\/IMG_6109.jpg)\n\n![IMG_6113.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmTRL4adX63KEXcWiupTNoJVbintjuV5jAVY2TzVgkAPop\/IMG_6113.jpg)\n\n![IMG_6118.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdixT57pyT4R6mmrRKD4mf8sPG61EcSnLt4YHvMB7dw6R\/IMG_6118.jpg) \n\n![IMG_6126.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmdgK231nDg8vki2tzEy8vaKSQBw6pMDKgnHJP4b2K5aYb\/IMG_6126.jpg)\nThe day ended on a high note. We are now all properly grounded and ready to take on this week.
