What I love about being at home...

What do I like best about being a stay at home mom who also works from home?
Well, there really isn't one thing I like the best, it's a LOT of things!!

*I love that I was the first one to see Zander's gums break so his first tooth could come out.

*I love that Brielle repeats things that we say instead of (maybe inappropriate) things from others like "You found this for me mommy, you're such a big helper to me!" or "How's your dinner mommy?" or "I love your shirt daddy" or "thank you for saying hi to my dolly".

*I love that I have the opportunity to have a hot meal on the table for Arnold when he comes home after work (it doesn't always happen, mind you).

*I love that on days where I've slept only a few hours (many days since Zander was born), I don't have to be out the door, showered, dressed and looking presentable at an early hour while packing the kids up and dropping them off somewhere.

*I love that Brielle has to kiss and hug Zander EVERY time he goes for a nap.

*I love going to his room after every nap and seeing that big smile on his face.

*I love that I have the chance to participate in a weekly woman's Bible Study in the mornings.

*I love that I can arrange for playdates whenever I want.

*I love that I can make my own hours.

*I love that I've been able to see the relationship build every day between my kids, it's really heartwarming.

*I love hearing Brielle make up songs on her guitar "No you don't, yes you do".

*I love that I have time to serve others with hot meals or babysitting, etc on occasion.

*I love that Arnold and I don't work opposite schedules, so I get to see him whenever he's off.

*I love that I can take time off for special occasions like mini trips, vacations or even just a rest day without anyone telling me that I can't.

*I love to see her and Arnold twirling around the living room dancing together (shhh, don't tell him I told you that he does this).

*I love that my job at home includes building relationships with women who are sometimes hurting, struggling, and in need of a helping hand.

*I love that I can see real transformations in weight loss, increase in health and help other women to work from home and earn an income as well.

*I love that I've found my passion, even though I had no idea it would be my passion until I started this journey exactly a year ago.

*I love that I'm able to help pay off debt and start saving for a downpayment.
