Working from Home

How? is the question I get asked so often when it comes to my life.
How do you homeschool that many kiddos?
How do you work from home?
How do you do both?

I pretty much have two words to sum up the answer to all of those questions..........God and Organization.

First, I feel like God has ordained my life exactly the way He wants it.  Who can argue with that!  He has opened the doors for me to be able to be home to raise and educate my children.  He has blessed our business with abundance and He has allowed me the opportunity to start a new business that has been such a great blessing to me and my family.

Second, organization!  This is key to everything I do.  Does this mean that my home runs like a well oiled macine with everything in it's place and perfet.  NOPE!  Many times in my world chaotic organization is the best kind.  But it is organization none the less.

Running two business from home and homeschooling five kiddos plus regular "life" duties seem overwhleming from the outside but simply put.....its my life so I make it work.  When I look at Mom's that work outside the home and kids who go to public school, then rush home for a quick meal before they are back out the door for any extra curricular activities, I get overwhelmed!  THEIR life looks difficult to ME.


God places us in the life He wants us in, and equips us with everything we need to accomplish it well.  As moms I believe we too often look at others lives and judge based upon our own.  we need to STOP that.....but that is another post!  But seriosuly, the grass is not greener in someone else's yard.....they simply learned how to use a hose to maximize what they have.  Turn the water on dear sister!

Sonya Jean

This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago.  Here is part of her story that I told in another post:   My sister's story Sonya Jean I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. Such short time on Earth, you had to live; And in that time you had so much to give. A mother, sister and a daughter, A spirit filled with fun and laughter. As sickness came to take you away, I held tight to every day. I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. So many things I should have said, Sitting there beside your bed. The most important we covered, The day you prayed and Jesus ...

Loving an MLM, seriously?!?!?!

I am the girl who likes to be home, like never leave home, have peace and quiet, and am afraid of people ;)  I have never "sold" anything in my life (before a year ago), and I rarely tell people about things I love because I just assumed they really didn't care. I have always worked from home, but at a "real" business.  The hubs and I own an electrical contracting business and I have always run the home office.  How many hubs get to go home with the secretary 😀 Well, I am the last person I would have ever expected to fall in love with a MLM business.  I am very skepticle of things and like I said....PEOPLE!  But, as I often do, I have surprised myself.  I got started with Young Living as part of a 15 year journey to get some answers and freedom for a hubs that suffered from severe chronic migraines.  Little did I know that this company would radically change our lives! Not only have we tackled the migraines, we have learned as a family and healt...

Why I Homeschool even though I do NOT love it!

Most people assume that because I home school five children that I love it.  NOT so much!  My reasons for homeschooling my children have very little to do with my feelings about it, and more to do with my Faith and my convictions about Family! You see, I was not a home schooled kid.  I went to public school in a relatively large school district.  My graduating class had almost 200 people.  My husband went to a very small private school in the south.  Niether of us had ever personally experienced homeschooling. When we were married, actually before, we discussed our thoughts and ideas on family size and all issues about having children.  The idea of an optimal schooling environment came up pretty quickly.  There were a few reasons that we originally decided to home school, but over the years they changed a bit. We initially felt a Biblical desire to be the key contributors to our children's education so that we could oversee what they were ta...
