Our children are always watching us. They are little sponges that soak up all we do and say. This is Nathan, he is now 21! All grown up.

When I started my Ceramic Handprint Business, I did it because I wanted something for myself AND I wanted to make money.

Little did I know how great it would be for my kids.

My business became such a part of my family's life, that when I sold it, my teenage boys were sad.

Even my oldest (23 year now) who has always been a kid of few words, talked about how sad he was that I was selling it.

I involved them as much as I could.

As you can see by the photo above, handprints happened all the time!

I love it. I loved that I could set them up next to me and give them some clay to play with and they could go to town, creating anything they wanted. 

I taught them the process. They were used to the kiln and the fragile nature of the pieces I was creating. 

It was fun for all of us. 

There is so much more to this business than you think. Yes,...

This week I want to share a video with you addressing working this business around the family. I started this Hand and Foot Impressions business because I wanted to stay home with my children, but I also wanted to make some money and keep my brain stimulated. Can I get an AMEN?

Watch this video and it should answer most of your questions about how moldable this business really is.

I have been working from home for the past 20 years. I am so thankful that this business has allowed me to do that. Like I mention in the video, my kids are grown now and my flexibility with scheduling, anything, is a lot easier than it used to be, but I remember the days of juggling little ones. I was always thankful that I could snuggle a little longer in the mornings with my kiddos or take them to the doctor, if needed, without having to call into work and try and explain why I needed more time off of work.

Working from home has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. It would be hard to go back...
