I make playdough snow cones.
At least that is one of the first things on Quinten's job description.
I also get to play Crazy 8's, swim all day, or play dress up.
Last night, at our monthly It Works team meeting/training, I teared up as I listened to one of our leaders share how joining his wife in selling wraps, greens, supplements, and skin care products has changed his life. Before It Works, he had a good job at a bank, making good money and feeling pretty good about the way he was able to provide for his family. Then, his wife came home from a Wrap Party wearing saran wrap over a WWF looking belt thing on her stomach. He wasn't too impressed...
Now, two years later, he is a stay-at-home dad partnering with his wife as some of the top sellers for It Works. Yesterday, he was in the kitchen with his wife as they watched their youngest daughter run around the house in a princess tutu. Turning to his wife, he remarked, "Did our older daughter like to do this? I don't remember her ever playing dress up like our younger daughter does." Shocked, his wife answered, "Oh my goodness! Yes, our older daughter loved to dress up and wore princess tutus all the time!"
"I wonder why I don't remember that?" questioned the dad.
"Oh yeah, that's back when I was working at least 60 hours a week and didn't actually get to spend time with our kids."
As this couple stood before our team, sharing how this crazy wrap business has changed their lives, they were in tears. I was in tears.
When, I got home from the meeting, my two young girls opened the door as soon as they heard me pulling into the garage. I was overwhelmed with love and joy and thankfulness as I get to stay at home with these precious girls. I get to spend every day with them. I get to read books, build towers, do puzzles, color pictures, bake yummy goodies, and play dress up.
I don't want to miss any of this, not for the world. And I don't have to!!! I get to work from home. And as I do, I am creating a legacy for my children that will not only affect them now but for many, many, many years to come. At least that is my hope and prayer. I certainly want to make special memories with my daughters every single day, but I also want to lay a foundation so they can do the same with their children twenty, thirty years from now!
I know staying at home isn't everyone's dream. But it is mine. I remember in college when I would sit and talk late at night with my best friends, dreaming of the day when we would be moms playing with our kids. We prayed for that opportunity, and boy has God answered my prayers -- in ways I never imagined!
If you would like to be able to stay home, but don't think you can afford to do so, I would LOVE to chat with you and share how It Works just might be the game changer for you. I would LOVE to show you how you can make an additional $500 a month (or $5,000+ if you want to dream really big)!
It Works is changing my family's life, and I would LOVE the opportunity to work with you so it can do the same for your family.
