In October of 2006 I had my first son Jaylen.  I was supposed to go back to teaching Kindergarten the next school year, but I really wanted to be home with him without the financial stress.  I decided to work at a daycare and bring him, but I didn’t like the care he was getting, and by the time I paid for his tuition and gas I was making almost nothing!  I realized that something in our life had to change.  We were also going further and further into debt without even thinking about putting away money for our futures and our sons' educations.  We welcomed our second son, Xavier, in November of 2008 and I just love that I can work at home alongside my two boys. 

Jaylen was diagnosed with Autism at about 12 months and it is great that I can work around his therapy schedules.  I am so proud knowing that I will soon be at my goal of replacing my teaching income, all while being home with my family. 

 We’ve been able to pay off almost all of our debt and put some money away, and the best part is that I am helping other mothers to do the same!
