Wow...It sure has been a while! :)

Goodness, I guess I forgot about my blog, or neglected it!  One or the other...right now I can say I have pregnancy brain!  Yes, we are having baby number FOUR!! I am so excited, but sad at the same time.  This will be the last Moulton Baby, so it is bitter sweet.  I will miss the baby belly, as much as I will miss the baby moving inside of me, along with the wonderful pampering I get from my amazing husband ;)  We will welcome Baby Moulton in January, 2011 more than likely.  My due date is Feb 1st, 2011. :):):)

Big K is more than thrilled to have another sibling, she started out wanting to welcome another baby girl into the home, however she has leaned more toward a brother, and that has a little something to do with Little K getting into her stuff :)  I know she will love the baby no matter what! 

Big Brother R really wants a brother, and who can blame him, all he has is sisters right now, but we have had many conversations that babies are gifts from God, and we have to be thankful for them, and God decides whether we get a brother or sister.  So of course R is pretty excited but holding faith that God will give him a little brother.

Little K is not so thrilled about the whole idea at all.  She will be 3 in November and has been the baby the longest of all the kiddos, and is not keen on giving up that title.  She goes back and forth between a boy and girl, and then all of a sudden will say there is NO BABY, b/c she is the baby.  Oh boy...we are in for it I am sure! :)  Praise God I am able to work from home and be their for my kiddos.



A lot has happened since I last posted, but of course I think this is the most important, so over the next few days I will try to update since March...oh boy! This should be fun!

Working from home....I am SO BLESSED!

OK....being a Mom does not have to, nor should it, make a difference in being successful with this business. In fact, this business is the best way to be a Mom. The vehicle is right here.

So, how does one do it? Well, I will be honest...when I got started, I had no idea what I was doing, thank God I had an awesome support team and training to guide me every step of the way. So...I got started full-force and never looked back.

Kaori was 4, Ronin was 2 and Kobie was just a few weeks old. I found out quickly that I could talk on the phone and feed Kobie at the same time (I was breastfeeding her) :):) In fact, I did my business around my kids for the most part. Did I sacrifice for the first 6-8 months...oh ya. Dinner was served and there were times I would get up and be on the phone while everyone else was still eating. I ate breakfast standing up, on the phone....I was on the phone while I pushed them in the swing, or watching them in the pool, or playing on the floor....I worked. Bedtime was SHORT.....so I could go back to work. So I definitely was working and watching kids all at the same time.

But here is the thing....Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat! Why? Because I KNEW that if I didn't do THAT to make my business successful, I would be working a 9-5 JOB outside of the home and someone else would be raising my children and I would miss ALL of those moments. Did I spend as much time with them as I wanted? NO....but it was better than being gone ALL day, come home exhausted, spend a little bit of time with them just to do it all over again the next day. And in 6 months, my check was growing, and the Moulton home...was a happy home! Again, it did come with sacrifice... .I don't want to mislead anyone on that end. Did I miss moments of their lives? I am sure that I did....I was so busy working and watching and talking and emailing.... something is going to be missed. But again...you do what you have to TODAY to make life better for tomorrow. And it can, and will, be...if YOU make that choice to get it done.

Here is the bottom line.....You have to decide this company is where you want to be...where your heart is. You have to decide if this is THE business that will help you reach your goals and dreams in life for you and your children. YOU have to make that decision. Once you do.....then do whatever it takes to be successful. Know that NO ONE will be able to stop you from achieving your goals, whether that is family or friends or even the contact that said NO. Don't let someone else determine your success....YOU will have the success that you want, if you apply yourself. If your kids are old enough (or even if they are not, because I did this from day one)....explain to them "Mommy is going to be working right now so that Mommy can be home all the time with you." I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to me when I hear my kids ask how come other parents have to go to work and why don't they just work at home like Mommy. They know that I work, they know I have to do certain things for my business, but I drop them off at school in the morning, I pick them up in the afternoon and we come home and do homework, talk about their day, I take them to piano lessons, and horseback riding lessons and we travel. That is the life I wanted and dreamed of for my children and NOTHING was going to stop me. All I needed was this company and my belief and passion.

Been a while...

 Lots of things are happening in the Moulton household...new living room and dining room renovation, along with a new laundry room...crazy times with 3 little ones running around. 

My little precious 6 year old princess now needs glasses...poor girl has been struggling at school, espeically with her reading...I hope this helps her tremendously!  It was taking a lot out of her to finish her reading assignments and we now know what the issue was.  She never once complained! What a trooper!

Ronin is all boy...spring is upon us and he is outside and in the MUD! Gotta love that!  He is such a little character...loves nature, animals, climbing trees...you name it..BOY STUFF!

Kobie...my little princess, is just that! She knows she is the little one in the house and can usually get what she wants...something we are all working on...LOL!  She is totally fascinated with DORA!  We listen to "Do, do do, do do DORA!!!" and "We did it!"  All day...she is constantly singing those words...so cute!

Well I thought I would just sit and write...very relaxing...love this new blogging life! :)

No Followers

How cool am I? Geez! I don't even have any followers...okay I will admit it, I didn't know what I was doing when I got started and just so happened to add myself as a follower...and now I am not even sure how to remove it! So one of the first things you will learn about me is that I am not, in any way, shape, or form computer Savvy, nor to I really proof read my work.  Take it like it is...LOL!

The exciting news I have in my life is that I have just partnered with a fantastic business builder and she is on FIRE! I am so blessed to have her on my team, and excited about our friendship that has already  been created! She is a fantastic gal, and is also a woman after my own heart, that being a woman of God...well today has been a pretty busy day, so I think I will stop here and update again soon!

Have a blessed day everyone! :)

Do You Oligo???

I found this article and had to share it...it is pretty amazing, and pretty educational!

“Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein, or carbohydrates we consume. The fact is that foods (fruits, vegetables, and grains) now being raised on millions of acres of land that no longer contains enough minerals are starving us (of good nutrition)----no matter how much we eat them….. We know that vitamins are complex chemical substances which are indispensable to nutrition, and that each of them is of importance for normal function of some special structure in the body. Disorder and disease result from any vitamin deficiency. It is not commonly realized, however, that vitamins control the body’s appropriation of minerals, and in the absence of minerals, they have no function to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can make some use of minerals, but lacking minerals, vitamins are useless (Senate Document No. 264, 1936).

I work for a company that has a vitamin mineral supplement that has changed my life! I now know, after reading that above article why I was always so tired...never had the energy to get out of my own way!  Part of eating healthy and getting the proper exercise is definitely important...but no matter how hard we strive to eat right...we just are not going to get the right nutrients our bodies need to function at our finest. 

Well...I HAVE A SOLUTION!  You need Oligo fructose complex....message me for more information!

Flour Power

As I was sitting yesterday trying to get some work done, the house was quiet...never a good sign with little ones, but I thought I would give the kiddos the benefit of the doubt and continue working.  Never and I repeat NEVER do that...always go and check on them!  Literally moments later there is a huge break out in giggles and laughter, screaming, and lots of jumping, running and NOISE, NOISE, NOISE!  I decide to round the corner out of my home office to the kitchen where my littlest Moulton Baby is grabbing handful after handful of flour from the large canister in the cupboard and throwing it at her older siblings, who half wanted to tell on her, but were secretly loving every second of it.

When I came into the kitchen and saw the happiness on all their faces, I couldn't be mad at any of them, not even for a second!  I did however stop Kobie from adding more flour to the new kitchen flour sand box she had created.  Ronin's face was covered, along with his clothes, I couldn't even tell what color his pants were anymore.  Kaori was more cautious, and she only had flour where little miss Kobie had thrown it on her.  After I took a few photos it was off to the bath tub for the kiddos and the washing machine for the clothes.  I have to admit I was worried I would begin the cake baking process in my washing machine and dryer, but all came out okay. 

This will be a fond memory for a long time that the kids and I will be able to share!  This is also a moment that makes me feel so blessed to be able to be home with them every day.  I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to take part in such a fun moment!

Well I need to take a moment here to apologize for all the typos, grammatical errors, and quite possibly none of this may make any sense...I am a busy mom and I don't have time to proof read, so therefore it is what it is...and all that matters is Momma is happy right??

Laser Focused

I work for an amazing wellness company from home! YAY! From home! I love it, I wouldn't change anything, I am so blessed to be able to stay home each and every day with my kiddos and also know that they are safe from harsh chemicals. Believe it or not....the company pays me...yeah, I know crazy...they pay me to share it with others, and help them! I have to pinch myself...

Every month the company offers quite the incentive to share with others, and this month they are rewarding new business builders with something pretty amazing, that can't be passed up my most. The coolest part about the incentive is that people this month can earn at least about $800 in their first month, but of course the sky is the limit! Just for helping others, they can get the chemicals out of their home and earn an income...that simple!

Okay...I am off to start my day of enhancing the lives of others! If you are reading this blog and you don't know me, check out my website at http://www.freedomforfamilyathome.com

Have a blessed day!

Blogging Day One

I am new to the blogging world! I have been inspired by so many different blogs, that I thought I would give it a try. I will never be able to make them as cool or as interesting as others I have seen and read, but I am going to give it my best.

Wow! I am blogging, this is GREAT! Okay...well about me, I am 27 years old, I live in Northern New Hampshire with my wonderful husband and our three kiddos. Our oldest Kaori is 6 and is an absolute joy! Our second child is a son, oh how I was blessed with a baby boy, he is 4 and he is our Ronin. Then our youngest, she is our firecracker for sure! Kobie is 2 and certainly keeps me on my toes.

My husband is my best friend and the love of my life, he is my high school sweet heart! He is a licensed electrician and most important of all, a fantastic dad! The kiddos absolutely love every minute they get to spend with him. He certainly is a kid at heart, many times I joke that I am a proud mom of four kids!

Well...so about me...what is there to say? Hmmmm....I grew up in a very small town in Vermont and come from a very large family. I am one of 8 children and love it when we can all get together now as adults with our growing families. Holidays are extra special with the gang! I graduated from high school in 2000 and attended college in New Hampshire. My husband and I were married in 2003 before we welcomed our first little princess Kaori into the world.

I worked in a busy medical practice from 2003 until recently in September of 2009 I decided to become a stay at home mom. I always wanted to stay home with my kids, but as so many families today our lifestyle required me to bring in a second income to survive. So making the decision to leave my full time position was not something we took lightly and forced me to find something that I could do from home. So the search for finding something I could do from home began, and what a journey! I found scam after scam, and got very discouraged until I ran across an amazing wellness company.

The company has changed my life, I am able to stay home every day with my kids, and participate in the activities that are most important to them. Not only does it allow me to be with my family and take part in those milestones that are most important to mothers, but it has changed my physical, emotional and financial wellness. Another area that it has changed for me is my outlook on environmental wellness, and how important it is to take care of our planet. This company has changed my life, and I am looking forward to growing even more with this company and team!

Well I guess I will stop here for today, I tend to ramble on, and of course am really excited about this whole new blogging world of mine. I suppose while the little ones finish a nap I will work out!
