Do You use Set Working Hours?

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Many WAHMs feel that it is really  important to establish set working hours.  Usually they set this hours to ensure that their client work as well as their work around the home gets done. 
When it comes to my clients, I do have set working hours. It makes it so much easier to stay on top […]

Online Friends

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Wow, I just got back online after being offline (moving) for a week and boy it sure seemed longer than a week.  I guess I never really realized that almost all if not all my friends are online friends and don’t live anywhere to close to me. 
I guess as a stay at home mom I didn’t […]

Do You Multitask Well?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I’m amazed by the WAHMs who can work with the tv or music on while handling three or more projects at the same time. Sounds wonderfully productive and entertaining but I would be SO distracted. Without a doubt I would get lost while singing along to the music or stopping for longer than a minute to catch […]

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, […]

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 […]

Tough Questions, Real Advice

Monday, April 7th, 2008

It isn’t healthy to work all of the time. In fact, there was an article written about bloggers who may have died because of how hard they worked. Did you just read that? Do you need to re-read it? DIED because of their hard working blog lifestyle. Frightening! Is that you? Are you working too […]

Learning How To Say “No”

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I’m counting down the days until the school year ends. During the course of the year, I discovered that I really spread myself too thin in my volunteer duties but that’s a part of who I am: a total people pleaser.
I already have a plan for cutting down on volunteering once September rolls around again but […]

Another Reminder Why Being a WAHM is a Blessing

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Today I was reminded why working from home is such a blessing. My son was out of school sick today. I didn’t have to call into work and tell my boss I would be taking the day off because my son was sick. Instead I was able to work in between waiting on him hand […]

Does Your Family Think You’re Playing?

Friday, March 14th, 2008

My family thinks I’m a computer addict. Seriously. If I disappear for even a 5-minute bathroom break, they immediately ask if I’m checking email.
It was quite the novelty last May when I began my internship with Kelly McCausey at Moms Talk Radio because I was spending much more time on the computer. My girls saw […]
