A Mother's Dream

I love, love, LOVE that I get to be at home with my girls every day!  I get to read them books, build block towers with them, do puzzles with them, color pictures with them, create playdough masterpieces, bake treats with them, push them on their tricycle, explore in the field next to our house, and much more!





Best part: I get PAID to do all of that.  I get PAID to spend time with my kids.

You see, I HAVE to work.  I HAVE to contribute to our family's income, but we determined that the best place for me to do that was at home with our kids, at least while they are young.

So I have been watching kids in our home since Coralyn was 6 weeks old.  Staying at home and trusting God to provide daycare kids was a huge test of our faith.  Would God come through?  Would he send kids my way?  Would He send enough kids my way so that my income would be sufficient to help pay the mortgage and bills?  Some times have been tighter than others, much tighter.  Like last year when my "maternity leave" with Kellah ended up lasting 8 MONTHS, and I wasn't contributing to our income during that time, except for the occasional childbirth students.  God has ALWAYS been faithful, though, and made sure that all our needs were met.  Yes, we did without some extras, but we always had food on the table, lights in the house, running water, and gas in the cars.

This next school year I will be full with daycare kiddos for the first time since 2010!  Talk about God's faithfulness to provide.  And they are all great families too!  Drop off around 7, pick up no later than 4:30.  Can't beat that in daycare world!  Oh, and I get summers off because I watch teachers' kids.  Just an added bonus, though it does mean no income for June and July.

Usually...

This year is different.  In February, I finally decided to become an It Works distributor after passing on the offer back in 2012.  I know money was super duper tight back then, but how I wish I would have taken that leap of faith and gone ahead and joined then.  In three months, I have started receiving a commission check that matches what I make watching 2 daycare kids full time!

I am SO CLOSE to promoting to the Diamond level in the company too, which will bring it about what I make watching THREE daycare kids full time!
Not to mention, the $10,000 bonus I could earn if I promote by the end of this month!  That's an extra $400 in our bank account each month for the next 25 months!  Talk about setting aside money for a car or vacation or paying off our mortgage in half the time!

I could actually "quit my job" of in-home daycare and just do It Works come August, but I have already committed to watching kiddos for 4 great families and am excited to watch their kiddos grow up even more. What would Coralyn and Kellah do without their playmates every day?!


So, this next year, we plan to save, save, save since I will be making double the income.  We can put aside money for a car, in case one of ours happens to go out on us.  We can pay more on our mortgage.  We can save up for a special family vacation with my parents (my mom really wants to go on a cruise or something BIG).  We can be free to give to others as needs arise.

That's one of the main reasons why I joined It Works in the first place...so that we would have the availability and opportunity to bless others generously and abundantly.

I would love for It Works to be a blessing to your family as well.  Maybe you would like to be able to stay at home with your kids.  You can make that dream come true!  And I would love to show you how It Works can be a part of that.  I would teach you, support you, and encourage you every step of the way.  We have an amazing team who helps each other out, prays for each other, and are really more of a family than co-workers!

NOW is the time to join though!


$99 might be a lot of money to you at this point in life, but I wouldn't ask you to make an investment if I didn't think it would pay off, and in a short amount of time!

This really is an amazing opportunity and I don't want anyone to miss out!  So, think about it, pray about, and let me know if you have any questions or want more information!  I would LOVE to chat with you!
