The best part of working from HOME

This morning my sweet Thomas came into my room and said he just wasn't feeling right! He felt hot to the touch. My mind instantly flashed back to a year ago. One of the kiddos would wake up after my husband left for work with sickness and it would be a whirlwind. I would have to figure out some sort of childcare arrangement. I would either have to make sub plans for my classroom at the last minute or call my husband back home from work.

In that moment I looked when I got to tell him to jump back in the bed and relax,  I felt that immediate peace and gratitude of being able to work from home. I love the flexibilty of snuggling an extra 45 minutes on the couch with him while he eats his gogurt.  Life goes so fast and it's so nice not to live like robots every day. When I started this little side job to make a few hundred dollars a month quitting my job was not my goal. I never thought of this as part of the game! What a joy it has been and the excitement  in the adventure!

  1. It is a nice option. Although sick kids for us usually ends in me not being able to work for a week. But we have 4 kids.. so sickness is a lot of work around here :)

  2. Staying home with your kiddos is SUCH a blessing. Especially on mornings like this! So glad you found something you love and that can bring you a bit of pocket change on the side! Way to go!
