Although insurance is a big part of your life, I am betting many of you have your own businesses that you operate out of your home. Whether it's Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, or handmade goods and crafts, we'd like to see what you're up to!

Consider this a member business directory! Please keep your listing simple and feel free to add a photo and web address to your post as well.

I just got in to a new Music and Movie business that is run from anywhere you have an internet connection.  It's called Burn Lounge and its is a revolutionary way to purchase discounted music and now first run movies on line.  You can get in this business with little or no money depending on what your interest level and income desires are.  Some do it just for the free music and movies.  You get to set up your own website (free) and all you do from there is network with family and friends.  When they sign up and buy movies or music you get paid.  go to my website to find more information http://www.burnlounge.com/jukeboxjack and click on the SIGNUP box for more information. :D

I help my mom out a lot with her business and have noticed that she is needing more help as her business grows. She created O My Soap! (sound familiar?!) about 5 or 6 years ago. It's something that started out after she made her first batch of patchouli soap with a co-worker from a garden nursery.

Since then, she's added lots more products and does it all out of her home. I help out with the packaging (which is so fun for me to do!) and her website.

If you're interested in checking out the products, go to http://www.omysoap.com.

My husband owns his own appliance repair business named Davids Appliance.  We basically repair and install home appliances (stoves, ovens, fridges, microwaves, washing machines, dishwashers, dryers, etc.)  We also do a lot of service work for American Home Shield, a company that insures your appliances when you purchase your home.  While we have yet to establish a web site, you can reach us by dialing 972-723-6348.  We service Dallas/Ellis/Tarrant county and appreciate your business.

I love her soap, I have ordered several bars and can't wait to order other items, tell your Mom to keep up the good work. The soaps are so wonderful and have been a blessing, my daughter has very sensitive skin and can't use alot of soaps that are on the market, but O ' my soaps have been wonderful for her, not to mention the scents.

My husband owns Southard Glass.  So I guess I have help out a little on that when I get home.  I also help with a non-profit group "BRAT" Barrel Racing Assoc of Texas.  We put on one barrel race a month for it's members.  That is lots of work, but fun.

Glad to hear the soaps are good for your daughter. I am so proud of my mom and all the work she and my dad have put into it. God has been blessing them for their dedication for sure!

Is Southard Glass a company who does windshield replacements? If so, you ought to add it to the list of vendors under Auto Glass!

How many members do you have in BRAT?

I love the O' My Soap products.  But I have been unable to win one at the auctions.   Although my co-worker shared her items and they are wonderful.

Southard Glass is mainly residential, showers, mirrors, some replacement glass.  We are located south of FT Worth.  Thanks for asking.

BRAT is growing each year, we have about 150 members so far this year & our season has just started.
