It would be so easy for me just to go make the beds. And it takes 10 times as long to get them to make the beds. But that’s my job. It’s not my job to make the bed, it’s my job to make them make the bed.

Most embarrassing moment: the other day when I asked a man who was talking with a group of us “I know you, where do I know you from?” and another friend standing right there said “Are you serious Kim! He works for your husband!” (there are only 4 employees) L Yes, I had met him before – yes I should have known L

The secret for being the best mom: Try not to be so selfish….which for me, only happens when I’m asking God for help!
Any words of wisdom or advice: I’d first have to say to learn how to trust and develop the expert inside you – by asking the hard questions and not stopping until you have answers. The hard ones like…..why am I here, what’s my purpose, and what can I do for my child today to equip them for tomorrow. Developing your answers make for a much wiser and intentional parent. You’re kids will pick up on that. It’s important to developing your own character so you can develop your child’s as well. Character training always trumps educational training. That’s the stuff they don’t teach in schools! And that’s the stuff that matters when they leave – we are training the future generation. It’s a BIG job! Remember: You are doing the MOST important job in the world and the paycheck is priceless!
