This photo was taken on December 10, 2013.

It popped up as a FB memory today, as a reminder of how we spent the morning the week after I quit my job as an Assistant Principal to pursue network marketing full time.

When I asked my then 3 and 5 year olds what they wanted to do (since mommy wasn’t “working anymore”), they said ‘SKIP SCHOOL!” and ‘go to Jamba Juice’ and so we did.

“When I started with this company,I wanted to lose weight and make some extra money to make things easier financially. Little did I know the impact this business would have on my life.”

Six (almost 7) years later, I still do this full time. I get to make my kids (now 13, 11, 11 and 9) breakfast EVERY MORNING. Take them to school, volunteer in the classes, take them on lunch dates, be the first person they see after school, go to all the things. I never miss the important moments. Like today when Carter told me about his girlfriend, (yes I’m devastated). LOL.

“This business gave the me opportunity to change my entire family’s life, and on this day and when I see this photo, all I feel is extreme gratitude.”
