One of the many reasons why I love my job. I've never been able to take my kids to school. They always had to ride the interloop bus, but not anymore. We say our pocket prayers, sing to Klove and have good convos. So blessed for this opportunity, this time and season in my life. God is good! #KidsFirstAlways #lovemyfamily

Owning a small business is hard. But what’s even harder is being away from home.. with Zack opening his own and being so successful thus far, it has allowed him to be home more for our kids! He doesn’t miss things that he would have been stuck at work and couldn’t attend, he can flex his work schedule to keep the clients AND kids happy. I never thought of it like that until the other day Addison said “you can now leave work for emergencies, school things and to take me to lessons!” That is SO big for kids! My husband is able to come home for lunch a time or two during the week, it might not be the relaxing lunch he used to have but the twins sure love seeing him for lunch! Moral of the long rant besides I’m so grateful my husband took this huge step in life is, TAKE THE JOB THAT FITS YOUR CHILDRENS SCHEDULE! 🫶🏻😭🖤 📸 of my husbands lunch date yesterday, she wanted to go to work with him. #blessedandgrateful #KidsFirstAlways #thankful
Teachers will never get enough credit in our eyes! 🧡 #KidsFirst is SO appreciative of the hard work you put in daily for #KIDS.
