I am creating this blog as I feel strongly about educating ourselves and our families to think outside of the box in all areas of our lives.
We all have abilities, talents, dreams and expectations throughout each stage of our life. So often we stop short of reaching our potential because we accept the limits that have been set by others or that we feel comfortable within.
I will provide information on conferences, resources and other tidbits that I find to be worthwhile to begin or build upon creating home based, family centered, creative ventures.
Whether you are looking for multiple streams of income, financial freedom, an avenue to utilize your creativity or a place to meet others who think outside of the box...you are welcome here.
Be sure to keep comments friendly and all-age appropriate. I believe you are never too young and never too old to be part of bettering your life and the lives of those around you.

you have a broad idea, how you find some jolly good stuff!
i am just wondering here, what is more difficult managing children or managing a husband or your children? I would love to hear a retrospect account!
I love it when people take the time to share. Thanks for such a generous thought and for taking time to build a community of sort to generate ideas and bounce ideas off one another! Sometimes, we just need a catalyst to get us started! I'll be back!
Hi A-M! Glad you stopped by. I will be adding more over the next few days.
Hey Yusuf, Since I don't have to manage a husband, he does great on his own, I'd have to vote on the side of the children.
We used to have five kids in the home, three teens and the two littles. The age different activities were sometimes more difficult to manage, but we do a lot as a family, so when one went, we all went.
Personality differences can pose some creative moments. When our oldest moved into her own place, we noticed a huge drop in conflict. Not that she was necessarily an instigator of conflict (sometimes) but remove one variable in a home and things change. We have noticed that if any one or more of the kids aren't home the whole dynamic of the home changes. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. So, my need to manage differs from day to day and child to child.
The older they get, the more privileges they want and we believe with privilege comes responsibility. If they handle themselves in mature fashion, they receive privilege... and more responsibility is expected. The goal is that each child rises to the situation and begins to manage themselves more and more so that when they become young adults, they are productive members of the family and society as a whole. This is why we are so passionate about thinking outside of the box and having our children have a true sense of self direction for their future. Each stage of maturity may change their direction, but if they are self thinkers, self motivated and more and more self directed they will have the confidence to step out into the world in unique ways and not just be conformed to the expectations of self centered, worldly ways.
Hope that answers your question. If not, ask again and I'll clarify more.
