It's a slow day today at work so I decided to jot down my thoughts in being a Work-at-Home Mom. Whatever I write here are my personal opinions and/or experiences as a WAHM.
Being able to work from home is a blessing for someone like me who does not drive [yet]. As a matter of fact, my inability to drive is one of the 2 prime reasons I decided to try my luck in finding a telecommuting job. What's the other prime reason? Motherhood.
But those 2 primary reasons are not the only things to be considered when deciding to work from home. There's a lot of other important things to think about before taking the plunge diving into the work at home industry. So what things did I consider before getting into this thing called telecommuting?
*Family Income. Questions like: Can we survive with only one income while I look for something I can do from home? I was already pregnant when we decided that I should give it a shot to work from home. Understandably we were a bit scared that we may not be able to make ends meet especially with a baby on the way. But we were able to work around it for me to start my quest for an online job.
*Do I have what it takes to be a 'telecommuter'? Self-discipline is a must when working from home. It's very easy to get distracted since I have no one breathing down my neck. I am essentially my "own boss"....although I do have a boss.
These were only 2 of the many things I tried to think about before finally coming up with a decision. About 7 years later, I'm still working from home. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it 7 or more years to go.

I think there is a lot more entailed in staying at home (and working)! The choice really depends on what you want to get out of it and what you hope to pass on to your children. There, of course, will be advantages and disadvantages on both sides, to pick the reason that matters to you. In any case, one stay-at-home job I recommend is http://stelladot.com/ahonui This flexible business uses jewelry as their main product and it's fun. I chose to work with this company because I ALWAYS picture myself working from home doing something enjoyable and inspiring to others. This business is attractive and everyone has the potential to create a great income while setting up your own working schedule! So, check out the website now and tell me what you think! http://stelladot.com/ahonui
