• Counseling (2 nights/week) what was the biggest challenge of getting your business going? what three things did you focus on before starting JFYJB? what quality do you think every women needs in order to have a successful business? Resilience, strength and an open mind…I have a sign on my wall: “If it is to be…it’s up to me” and I believe it! what is your biggest productivity secret that helps you accomplish the most in your day? Taking breaks. I usually work about 60 minutes at a time, then take 10 minutes off...it helps me focus on what is ahead for the next hour. what do you believe you’ve taught your daughter by going into business for yourself? Self-worth…that you can take on big things and succeed. Resilience…continuing on when things go wrong or don’t go your way. Integrity…being accountable, honest, standing up for what you think is right, standing behind what you do and who you are. away from the business, what might we find you doing? what advice would you share with other budding mompreneurs? you need:

Making the decision to resign from a “paycheck” and make the leap into the unknown. It was scary, but I knew in my heart it was right for me and I could make it work!

Integrity. Fairness. Letting my mind become a sponge and soaking it all up…tucking away bits and pieces I would need down the road. It’s been a tremendous help.

Camping, backpacking/hiking or gardening. Rex, my husband of 20 years, and I enjoy hiking all over. In 2009, we spent 5 days in the back country of the Sawtooth National Wildlife Area in Idaho, where we crossed over 10,000 feet. We’ve also spent 28 days on the road traveling the Al-Can highway to Alaska in our jeep and backpacking in Denali National Park and this summer we explored the Niobrara River area in Nebraska, paddling and floating down the river for 32 miles over a couple of days. Our hikes let me rejuv…I’m unplugged from technology and it frees up my mind!

Believe in yourself. Don’t take “No” for an answer… ”either I will find a way or I will make one.” Keep an open mind…when one door shuts, another opens. And enjoy the journey…it’s going to be an awesome trip! And lastly, take time to breathe, unplug and enjoy life!

• 1 loaf of french bread

• 3 cups of eggnog

• 3 eggs

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 2 teaspoons of sugar

• powdered sugar how to: source: on the minds of moms

1] cut bread into 1” thick slices. If you buy presliced bread, go with a Texas Toast—the thicker bread will hold up better than regular sliced bread with the thick and heavy batter.

2] combine and whisk remaining ingredients [except powdered sugar] in a bowl.

3] dip both sides of each slice of bread in the mixture and place them side by side in a greased oven proof glass dish. Pour any remaining mixture over the slices in the dish.

4] cover and refrigerate overnight [you can even freeze the dish ahead of time and put in fridge to defrost the evening before you wish to serve it].

5] bake at 450 degree on bottom rack for 20-25 minutes [watch the bottom so it doesn't get too brown].

6] place on rack to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar.
