A few years ago, I was stuck working a 7:45-4:00 job at a school with my kids every single day. We were all overstimulated, tired, and done by the time we made it home, had dinner, and showered before bed. We were stuck in the same everyday routine!
I wanted to be home more, and with that, I wanted to have my babies here learning with me. So, we decided to pull them from sitting in a classroom all day to give them the opportunity to school at home!
With this came the need to make my own homemade foods, y'all I even got a food processor for my birthday to make homemade peanut butter, can you say crunchy mom, haha.
I wanted the stay-at-home-crunchy-mom-wife-life-status!
So, I prayed, a lot! God what do you have in store for me? What am I meant to do, and how do I do it efficiently for you?
I was watching YouTube videos, finding blogs on Pinterest, and reaching out to people in my area trying to figure out how to do it all!
Don't get me wrong we still get the occasional sonic cheese stick run, and no I'm not making homemade chicken nuggets for my kids lunch every day, but I am choosing to give my kids a different kind of life. One that doesn't involve us being mentally and physically exhausted and on the go 24/7 and living on happy meals full of junk!
And mama if that's you right now, it's okay! You are doing the best with what you have right now! I applaud you! So very much. Keep it up!
With all that being said, I knew I wanted to find a way to help keep up with the bills around here. My husband and I are very business minded people so back in 2017 we started our first business, in 2018 our second, and in 2024 our third. So, I was like why not a fourth right?

It's messy. It's loud, and we do not have it all together. Some days were scrambling to get it all done, others are so laid back I am thanking God for putting us here. Regardless it was faith and prayer that made me the crunchy stay at home mama that gets to train her babies up to be beautiful people in this world and run a small home business!
If you're a mama dreaming of slower mornings, faith-filled days, and still bringing in income, this is your sign that it can be done!
From our home to yours! Much love.
