Cathy's Quilted Creations

Two weeks ago, a mom posted on social media her desire to stay home with her kids and earn money by helping parents by watching their kids.

For me, this was a flashback to 1990, when my kids were toddlers and I had designed, owned and operated my own small state registered home childcare business.

1990 is when I launched MOMtrepreneurs which started as I coached mom on playgrounds.

As one who has been there and done that I started asking her questions to be helpful.

What are the ages of your own kids?

What hours do you want to work?

What type of money are you hoping to earn?

Did you create a spreadsheet of cost and revenue options to compare the pros and cons of what schedule works for you best converge with the money you hope to make?

Are you doing before and after school care, both, or all day care, or just a Mother's Day Out (3 days a week for 4 hours schedule)?

Did you take your CPR and first aid class yet?

Did you register a business name?

Did you attend the 2 day workshop required by your state so that you're legal?

Did you register for the food program to be reimbursed for the food you buy to feed the kids you watch, include getting your own kid’s meals reimbursed?

What insurance company are you working with?

And so on...

She might have passed out at this point overwhelmed with the realization she wanted to get paid professionally without being set-up professionally.

I’ve offered to help coach her through this.

Since I'm going to need to create a Step-by-Step Guide to help her, I thought I’d ask here today...

How many parents DO want to stay home and raise their kids while getting paid by parents seeking a smarter and healthier alternative to traditional daycares?

Happy Mother’s Day from our house to your! May it be Blessed!

Happy Valentine’s Day from me to you! Have a Blessed day!

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And the quilts were not made.
The threads were all tangled, the cookies delayed.
The stocking weren't hung, the pantry was bare.
The poor weary Quilter, was tearing her hair.
Stacks of fat quarters, tipped over in streams.
Visions of Log Cabins, had turned into dreams.

When what to her wondering eyes should appear,
But a bus full of quilters with all of their gear.
They went straight to work with just a few mutters,
Sorting and stitching and brandishing cutters.
The patterns emerged from all of the clutter,
Like magic the fabrics arranged in a flutter.
Log Cabins, Lone Stars, Flying Geese & Bear Tracks
Each quilt was a beauty-even the backs.

Her house how it twinkled, her quilts how they glowed.
The cookies were baking, the stockings were sewed.
Their work was all done, so they folded their frames,
And packed up their needles, without giving  their names.
They boarded the bus, and checked the next address.
More quilts to be made, another quilter in distress.

She heard one voice echo, as they drove out of sight,
Happy quilting to all and to all a good night!
