Getting Back in the Groove

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Well it’s been almost a week since our medical/vaction trip out of state, and it took me a little while to get back on track with home life and work but I’ve done it.  It’s hard getting that work groove back but once I did I was on a roll.  It only took me a […]

Taking Breaks Can Help Your Productivity

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

When you’re a WAHM, it’s super easy to fall into a habit of sitting at the computer for countless hours doing work, networking, etc. Needless to say, I prefer doing my online work to doing housework so I’ve gotten a bit disorganized these last few weeks.
But yesterday I had piles of laundry to catch up […]

WAH with small children

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

When I started my journey of working from home to earn extra income my youngest was just 4 weeks old. I decided to open a licensed day care then I landed an online job working at iVillage.

Do you think that brand new laptop that you saw at Circuit city will just magically appear in your home, or what about those projects that you know you need to start, do you think they will start themselves? Hey, what about that quiet time that you really need? Do you think your children will […]

End of School Countdown Begins!

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Doesn’t it seem outrageous that the end of school is just 9 weeks away?? Even less than that for those of you who end school in May! So it’s not too soon to figure out just how will you continue to be productive while the kids are home for the summer?
My youngest already gives me the […]

Tax Day has Once Again Come and Gone

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I despise tax time! Let me rephrase that, the one thing I dread about being self-employed is tax time. This year I waited until the last minute to do my taxes. Now when I say last minute I mean the very last possible minute. In other words, I efiled my taxes, thanks to Turbo Tax, […]

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Yup, that’s me, prego with baby #3. I’ll be heading into my 29th week next week, and it really blows my mind how fast this pregnancy is going.
This baby was completely unplanned, in fact, it came as quite a surprise. Of course hubby and I talked about having more kids, but we never really made […]

I’m Back!

Monday, April 7th, 2008

The posts that I’ve made in the past have all been somewhat of a ‘theme’ - all about reasons I like working at home and how much of a blessing it truly is. Well guess what? Yep you guessed right if you thought I would once again be talking about why working at home is […]
