One morning on the trip, as I sat alone, eating my huevos rancheros breakfast, I found myself holding back tears. I know, it’s not the typical image you’d expect – the girl crying by herself over breakfast. But that was me today. And you know what? That’s okay. We all have those moments, […]

As we navigate through life’s journey, it’s important to pause and ask ourselves, “How am I really feeling about the path ahead?” There are a multitude of voices out there, each with its own predictions and expectations. But today, I want to be a voice of hope for you and your family.

Today I want to share a personal story with you. It’s about a journey I embarked on, a journey that transformed not just my outlook on life, but my entire life itself.

You see, Stephen and I, we’ve always had different perspectives on life. Stephen, my incredible husband and co-founder of The Rainmaker Family, he’s always been the eternal optimist. His glass isn’t just half full; it’s overflowing with positivity and hope. And honestly, it used to bother me. I would often find myself trying to pull him back down to my level, asking him to be “real” and “realistic.”

Hello, Rainmakers! It’s Chelsey here, and today I want to share something very close to my heart – the joy of reading with our children. As a mom, I believe that books are not just a source of entertainment, but also a powerful tool to inspire, educate, and shape our children’s minds.

So, I’ve curated a list of my favorite children’s books from my Amazon store that I believe every mom should consider adding to their home library. These books are not only engaging and beautifully illustrated, but they also carry important messages about life, values, and the power of imagination.

The feeling of being stuck, of being almost paralyzed when it comes to taking action in our lives is something we can all relate to at some point. 

Whether it’s a deadline we’ve set for ourselves or one that’s been imposed on us, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to figure out the next steps to complete a project.But don’t worry, I’ve been there too, and I’ve found a method that works for me. I want to share it with you, in the hopes that it might help you too. So, let’s dive in!

Are you feeling stuck in a workspace rut? Do you find yourself longing for a home office makeover that not only boosts your productivity but also enhances your health and well-being? If so, you’re in the right place!

If I have learned one thing about success… It’s that sometimes you have to look in unexpected places to find your answer.

It was a chilly evening, the clock striking 10 pm as I stepped outside into the dark to close the door on our chicken coop. As I peeked inside, my heart sank. One of our new chicks was missing. Now, we haven’t named our chickens, but they bring me so much joy, and the thought of losing one was devastating.

You never know the real impact our actions can have…

Today I want to share a personal story about an act of generosity that left a profound mark on Stephen and me. It’s a story that not only changed our lives but also inspired us to pay it forward and create a ripple effect of kindness.

Back when Stephen and I were in our early twenties, we were on the cusp of a significant milestone – buying our first home.

If you’re new to the world of entrepreneurship, you might be feeling a little lost or even second-guessing your decision. Trust me, I’ve been there. When Stephen and I first embarked on our entrepreneurial journey, I felt isolated and even a little ashamed. I wasn’t using my college degree like everyone else I graduated with, and it was easy to let the negative voices of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and fear creep into my thoughts.

“Better together.” It’s a phrase that has echoed in my heart since the days of high school dating.

That Jack Johnson’s song was popular when we were dating and it’s a sentiment that has only grown stronger with time, and it reminds me of my journey with Stephen…
