Seeing the kids flourish despite (perhaps because of) living a much simpler life. -Carly Shannon Woods I thought I’d get sick of my hubby, but turns out we get along pretty well. Not a bad deal. -Andrew Sims Slowing down to more of a simple life! Have loved every minute of being with my family and working from home! -Kim Sorrell Rohloff

I will always be grateful for the extra time with my son. He is in middle school, and the months I have been able to work from home have been a blessing.
