Before we had children, the dogs were our children!! So here's a quick pic as to not forget our first kids, the twins, Cassie and Kylie Bond! This is the head tilt when we say "treat" or anything else that woudl get a dogs attention such as "car", "walk", or "eat".
About Us
- Catherine Bond
- I am a home based business mom of 2 beautiful girls. I truly enjoy the flexibility and income it provides and am consistently challenged by the personal growth excelling in this business requires. The person i'm becoming through growing a business but also being a mom is the most amazing gift i can give to my kids and my husband. my children are learning to believe in themselves, dream, have confidence, gratitude, abundance, giving, serving, healthy communication, and solid family values not just through a bedtime book or words, but through my actions. Children will always do what we do not what we say!

Quality time
It is more often than not that I hear so many parents say "they were born just yesterday! I can't believe how fast they grow up!!!" Is it possible that the years seem to slip between our fingers because we are all so busy with other things that seem important but in the big picture, they are not important at all? I heard a mentor say this weekend that there is no such thing as multi tasking. I've come to believe this is true. I've made it a point to make choices that will affect my daughter and future children forever. Over the past 4 years, I have learned so much about how we speak to our kids, the words we use, the healthcare system, the education system, and wealth building. Those may seem a bit unrelated, but what we teach our children will development into their belief systems and can affect their entire life!!!! Spending quality time with our children is so important - this means being present, not just sitting in the same room with the tv on or typing on our phones. True presence is what our children crave. simply time with us. Perhaps spending quality time with our kids on a daily and weekly basis will make the years not go by so quickly!
I feel I've truly enjoyed every day, week, month, and year with Grace. she is growing up quickly but not to the point that I wish it would slow down or that I've missed out. Richard and I have made choices that might not be the status quo or what "everyone else is doing," but quite frankly, we dont' want an ordinary life, we want a little bit "extra"- an extraordinary life. I read in a book that good is the enemy of great. So here's to a great life and spending more quality time with our family. Here's Grace having some frozen yogurt today and simply enjoying the time together.

Getting Vocal!
Grace is becoming quite the vocal queen! what seems like chinese most of the time to us makes complete sense to her! we know in that little brain of hers she is trying to get something out! whether it's a request for juice, help with getting a blanket out of her basket, or a pat on the couch saying "come sit next to me", we know full sentences are just around the corner! the funny part is I pretty much know what she's saying when she speaks "chinese"!! She is absorbing so much more and understanding commands so much as well. Like, please give me your cup or finish eating your dinner please or let's get in your chair to read a book, or even it's time for night night. She goes right to her crib, gets her blanket and lays her head down. She is definitely the love of our life right now and we are enjoying spending time with her watching her grow and learn.

What a difference 6 months makes!
Just a little under 6 mos ago, we were introduced to Rovia/Worldventures, the fastest growing travel company in the U.S. and now the #1 travel company in the industry. We are doing business with companies such as American Airlines, FunJet Vacations, RCI-Wyndam, Disney, and just recently Southwest Airlines. Southwest has never been on any search engine website, but they have changed that philosophy b/c of the growth we are experiencing. What would I call that? A CLUE! This past weekend, Richard and I were recognized on stage with 8 other people for another milestone in the business. There were 1,100 people at this event and there were only 8 of us on stage for this particular level! WOW!!! We are so blessed to be hooked up with some of the best in the industry, mulit millionaire mentors who work with people like Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, and Robert Kiyosaki! So here we are: 1 step away from residual income!!! Residual income is such a blessing...it's money coming in every month whether you are working or not! This is a huge milestone in our business and we are so excited about what the future holds!!!
Elmo is in the House!
Grace and I went to My Gym last Saturday for an open house that had a very special guest- ELMO!!!!! she was so in awe of him and loved every minute. We had a really great time playing on and with everything there. I really thought she would cry or fuss when I put her in Elmo's lap, but she didn't!! She just sat there cool as a cucumber and held his hand! it was great. Needless to say we took a really great nap that day!!

Fun day at the mall
For all those moms out there, I never thought I would see the day that I went to the mall with the intention NOT to shop. The malls have some of the best entertainment for the little ones and we have such a great time at the play centers. Here's a pic of Grace at the carousel the other afternoon waving every time she went by. She had a blast!!!
The Path of MOST resistance!
Well it is with great excitement and a little fear that I announce Richard has officially decided to sell his part of Legal Elements and go full time with me in Worldventures. Although this can be a scary decision sometimes, we are of the mindset that the greatest rewards are given to those who take the greatest risks. I heard a multi millionaire put it best last night "Leap and the net will appear." And indeed that is what's happening. There are so many amazing things going on in our life that I can't even explain in one post. God is so good and we are truly being blessed by his grace. It is so great to have Richard home during some days and me home during others. We go to fun toddler events such as storytime at the library or just a simple stroll at the mall on a Tuesday afternoon. It's amazing how dead the malls are during the day on a weekday.
We anticipate more exciting news in the future and are definitley "leaping" into life!
