When my children were small I, tried working outside of the home but since I did not finish school or have much work experience I, always had to settle for lower paying jobs. It just did not seem to be worth the time I spent away from my family because being a working Mother of 4 was very hectic.
I felt that if I tried really hard to be conservative and save as much as I could on home and family expenses I would be able to stay home and enjoy my children.
I was very extra careful with our money because we were depending on one income to take care of a Family of 6. I, will admit it was a tough, I had to cut coupons and buy things that we really just couldn't live without.
Every week I, went to the grocery store with a shoe box size of coupons that looked like a mini coupon filing cabinet. I learned to shop at thrift stores and found things at garage sales that really saved us a lot.
To this day I still enjoy thrift stores, garage sales and ebay.
It all seemed to all work out for the best, my children learned a lot about appreciating what they had, learning to be content and enjoying the simple thing's in life. They held onto and played with the presents they got for their Birthday or Christmas all year long.
Now that they are grown they are extra careful with their money and it is very rare that you find them buying something that they feel they just can't live without!
We lived in the country, and did not have any neighbors so their best friends were each other, and their pets.
Thru some very tough times I, learned to trust God and he always supplied our needs.
I also learned that in the bible when he said:" He would supply our need according to his riches and glory" It meant NEED not NEEDS singular meaning one thing and one day at a time. He knows what we have need of and is always their for us.
Later on when my youngest child started school I knew I needed to work or do something to help our family's income. We just never seemed to have the money for anything extra.
Our old washing machine had just about bit the dust and we were in dire need of new furniture. It was amazing how they lasted so long. I look back now and think maybe I was so busy being a Mom I didn't notice they were falling apart.
After reading a " Dear Abby Letter" in the newspaper I, realized then the reason I had never had a chance to go back to school or pursue a carrier.
It was because God had plans for my life all along and it was to be a Mother.
If you get a chance you can read the dear abby letter below. Be sure to share it by, printing it out or forwarding it to someone that has children or grandchildren.
It completely changed my life when I read it.
Once all of my children were in school. I followed my love for
*
God blessed us and gave us the little bit of extra that we needed to supplement our income. Yet I was always able to be at home when my children when they got home from school.
We do our best to put God and or family first. So when my children are grown I, hope they can look back and remember we were always their for them. I, tried not to ever miss a school field trip and go out of my way to be at every class party.
Maybe one day they will look back and remember the little foot prints & paw prints that filled our home with love & joy. I, wanted my children to know that God is the best friend you could ever have.
The most valuable priceless things you can do is read Bible stories to your children and grandchildren. They learn to believe in God and trust him when they are afraid. They learn they can talk to him thru prayer and call on him when they need help and in todays world filled with peer pressure you just can't put a price on that one!
I want to give special thanks to Vanessa Loggins who created my first web site.
I was the first breeder to take a stand for Teacup Puppies which attracted people from all over the world.
We prayed a special prayer for our first teacup male stud Chihuahua named PePe when he was just a baby and asked God to help other people to see how wonderful these little dog's where. At that time no one dared to admit they breed teacup dog's much less have a web site and tell the world about them.
His son Chester later became the Father to Paris Hilton's Tinkerbell.
I received at least one nasty e-mail or phone call every day from show breeders and animal activist that hated the idea that we had a web site promoting teacup dog's.
After Paris Hilton purchased Tinkerbell
My web site has became so popular, that we would receive an abundance of e-mails and phone messages daily.
A lot of them came from Teenagers and Preteen age fans that just wanted to e-mail and ask questions.
My only regrets were: I, wish I, could have offered a little more personalized service to each and every person that called or e-mailed me.
E-Mails were coming in so fast I had to create pages with automatic responses to tell people how to go about getting one of our puppies.
We had waiting list that was a year long for teacups.
I, was a stay at home Mom and hobby breeder not a commercial kennel.
Well lets just say, God really answered that prayer!
When Paris Hilton went out in public with Tinkerbell she really turned heads, everyone wanted a teacup dog!
We are thankful that God has given us this opportunity, to help them as they needed someone that would work around their schedules while they continue their career.
They have been a wonderful blessing to us and our family.
We would get an average of 80,000 hits a week. And about 300 phone calls and messages a day.
A lot of them are from people just asking questions about their own dog. However we do our best to answer them all as fast as we can.
Our business gave us a little bit of added income to take a occasional vacation that we could have never been able to afford with 4 little ones and one income.
You don't make a lot breeding dog's, no matter how many puppies you sell. Because the higher the amount of breeding dog's you own. The higher your cost goes up to cover the expense of caring for them. Along with the employees you need to help you care for them, answer e-mails and the phone and assist with the puppy sales.
I sometimes feel as if the money goes out faster than it comes in. But I think we all do regardless of what type of job we have.
Our business just seems to have a little more fun involved in it.
My husband doesn't have to carry the load and I, am home when my children are home.
I can leave any day of the week and join my children on a field trip at school, or care for them when they get sick. I was also able to have lunch with them often.
Chances are you may not ever purchase a puppy from us.
I, just hope that reading thru my web site will change the way you look at buying a dog.
And hope that reading my testimony will brighten your day. And change your view of motherhood.
Our pastors wife calls them little nuggets that we get along the way to bring richness to our hearts.
" A FAMILY IS A PRICELESS AND WONDERFUL GIFT FROM GOD "
I HOPE THAT ONE DAY YOU CAN LOOK BACK AT YOUR FAMILY AND SEE A LITTLE TRAIL OF FOOT PRINTS THAT BROUGHT BACK MANY WONDERFUL AND LOVING MEMORIES.
" GOD GAVE US ALL THINGS, GREAT AND SMALL, TO ENRICH OUR LIVES AND BRING US MUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS "

Dear Abby Letter:
This is a letter that a lady sent into Ann Landers to all Moms & Dads. It was written to her little girl and she planned to give it to her as she became older.
Dear Daughter:
Although you are only 4 years old and will not understand what I am saying, I feel the need to write this letter and put it away for you to read many years from now.
When you were an infant and the newness of being a mother wore off, and I, couldn't wait until you grew up.
At first I found myself wishing, "If only she would start walking!"
And then, "If only she could start talking!"
One day I, suddenly realized that you were out of diapers.
You were indeed walking and talking, and pretty soon you would be going off to school.
I remember the morning your Father and I, brought your baby sister home from the hospital. You and I, had been apart six days. When the door opened I saw you standing there with an angel smile.
You seemed so big compared to the baby I was holding in my arms.
It was hard to imagine you were once that small.
I suddenly realized how much of your babyhood I had wished away. Being a mother is demanding. It robs you of so many freedoms, and I resented the fact that I had so many added responsibilities. And then I looked down at your soft curls and your trusting eyes, suddenly I felt ashamed, my heart almost broke.
I cannot re-live those first 4 years, but I have been trying to make them up to you and to myself. I hope and pray that when your first child is born you will be wiser and more mature than I was. I hope you will enjoy every phase of your child's growing up and not wish they would hurry and pass so you could be free to the "burdens" of motherhood.
You and I will have our share of heated words and angry battles in the years to come. There will be days when we will find it impossible to please each other. I will secretly wish that you would hurry and graduate from high school so I could send you off to college and be rid of you.
Life rushes by all too rapidly, my darling daughter, especially the lovely days and the beautiful times we had together. Be smarter than your mother was. Don't let a single moment slip away unsaved or unappreciated. These days are priceless and afford you the greatest opportunities for fulfillment.
"Never again will your heart be so full"
