What does that look like? As a child my mom was a stay at home mom, and I’m so glad she was! Her mom was a stay at home mom as well. I BELIEVE in being a stay at home mom. My life just looks different than anything I’ve known, or that is familiar to me, and I’m learning to find a new norm in that. But what does it look like when you’re a stay at home mom and you’re building a stay at home business that you love? Good question. For starters, its complicated and easy at the same time.

Its complicated because sometimes my kids need my attention and I have a scheduled phone call. Its easy because I’ve scheduled that call and I’m training them to be patient and wait for Mommy to finish. PATIENCE is a quality I want to teach anyway.

Its complicated because sometimes my kids interrupt my webinars with silly questions that could absolutely wait till the webinar was over, but they’re testing the boundaries. Its easy because my husband and I are a good team and because my webinars are on his calendar, he knows he’s ‘on’ during that time, and all I have to do is send them to Dad.

Its complicated because I sometimes have guilt about not being available to my family whenever they want/need me. Its healthy because I am their mom, and its good for them to respect my time as they learn to respect other people’s time.

Its complicated because life gets messy and I cant be all things to all people. Its freeing because I’m not supposed to be. Not even to my kids.

I love what I do. I love being a mom and I love running a business that inspires passion in me! I think my kids see a healthier mom, though at times out of balance (just being honest) but it is my absolute hearts intention for them to know that THEY are my first priority and should they truly NEED me to be there when I have a previously scheduled appt or call; I can be, and I WILL be there. A home based business allows me to make – and KEEP! – those kinds of promises.

If this seems like something YOU’D like to build as you raise your family – I’d love to share with you what my business is. I’ll warn you: it can get complicated as you try to master both. But I cant think of anything more meaningful than raising up solid people to be a contribution to society and this world’s future (our kids) while we help other people reclaim their health. That’s what made the decision so easy ~ in a messy sort of way!

Come be imperfect but inspired with me ~ you’ll be glad you did!

I am shocked to see that its been 2 1/2 months since I blogged last. I knew time had passed, but didnt realize SO MUCH. Needless to say its been a full summer of vacation, house renovation, moving my home office to an actual office space, redoing my website (you’ll see soon!) and BEING Mom.

Having a home based business is a pretty cool thing. I can conduct business WHILE my kids are home. I do calls and answer emails out by the pool while I lifeguard the kids while they swim. “Have computer will travel (to the backyard)”. My team has grown, advanced in rank, and conducted many online and facebook Challenge groups, as well as fit club Challenge groups over the summer. People have lost weight, built a team of people who are also losing weight, tried our new Vegan Shakeology, and new fitness programs like Les Mills Pump, P90X2, and the brand new Body Beast.

The point is that IF YOU WANT TO, you can build a business with time, patience, consistency, and a proven plan…and if you forget to blog for a few months, so be it.

Happy to be back at it ~ hope to hear from you!

There’s light at the end of the tunnel! The Ultimate Reset is something we are ALL proud of participating in and are so glad we did it as a family!!

If you’re considering it, we highly recommend it! It will stretch you, challenge you, and grow you as you embark on this journey of healthy, life giving food and finding what connections you may have with foods that are unhealthy.

Thought it might be fun to show some of the fun adventures in the room where we spend most of our time on The Ultimate Reset: the kitchen!
You’ll see prep work, creative ways to prepare the food, some of our favorite kitchen tools, and teamwork!   YES! The Ultimate Reset IS for the whole family!

Shopping – a group effort!

Brother-Sister team preparing the fresh herbs (this warms my heart more than you could know!)

“Mom, am I chopping the onions the right size?” asked Bayli and when I looked up I find her with swimming goggles on!

LOVE IT! <3

Discussing how awful they think the Detox tastes

LOVE my new Cutco knives!

Bayli’s Cutco battle wounds. YIKES.

Distilled water for everyone!

(ALWAYS put the Mineralize in your water – NOT just before meals. Its actually not good for you to drink plain distilled water)

Pulling the tempeh out of the oven – SO GOOD!

Beautiful veggies

Dirty dishes….

….more dirty dishes, and corn being prepped for dinner….

Dinner cooking

Prep work

And ahhhh…..order restored….for five minutes at least……

As you can see it takes the whole family working together to actually do The Ultimate Reset as a family. There is truly no way on God’s green earth that I could do this myself. Nor should I! I’ve trained my kids to OWN what they commit to, and its such a reward to have them engage and willingly work for the common family goal, then sit around the table and decide if its a “keeper” or not.  My daughter Bayli is a STAR for all the work she’s done. She comes home from school and is always looking to what needs to be done next. She is a JOY! We have had so many laughs as we’ve prepared our food over these last 2 1/2 weeks – its been the highlight of the whole experience for me. Kitchen bonding as we prepare food for the family. And my hubby KC and 19 year old son KC have been awesome dish doers – washing, unloading, loading, drying – without complaining! True, we get edgy with one another because we’re hungry, but overall its been a great adventure…TOGETHER!

Stay tuned for more!

Starting on Day 8 of The Ultimate Reset, many people are freaked out about the Detox Supplement you take 3 times a day.
Is it gross? Will you like it? I have no idea, but here’s my first go with it!
