I am so excited! Today has been a bit of a challenge - Sandi and I are working very hard on getting the membership site all finished, and have spent most of the day trying to get everything set up. We are almost there - but Sandi sent me a Skype message about an hour ago saying she was in labor and off to the hospital! I am so excited - I remember that feeling so well!
But, now I need to kind of tie up the loose ends on my own, so please bare with me if I am taking too long! Everything should be ready by next week - all you need to do is sign up for the newsletter and you will be notified when things are ready.
And, come one guys! Sandi and I have started a great little community area - that is kind of like our version of MySpace/Facebook for work at home moms and moms who want to be work at home moms;-) Go over and set up a profile and have some fun! You can have your own place to put your thoughts in a blog, you can upload pictures - there is even a forum, (which I guess I should go and get set up!!). But, there always has to be those first few who are brave enough to sign up. Tell you what - for the first 15 women who sign up over at the free community area - you will get my WAHM guide sent to you for free.
How does that sound? Yes, the same one I am selling for $37.00 (that you see a link to on this page) - yours free! So, get over there before it is too late and sign up! Send me a friend request, and I will send your report to your email - fair enough? And, if you are after the 15th person, don’t worry - we have some great giveaways and promotions planned once the membership area is set up!
The free community area is at www.WAHMSAlliance.ning.com
So, I will see you there!

This is just a quick post to explain the lack of posts the past couple of weeks!
I have taken the month of July and am camping with my kids. And, there is no internet connection out there, so I only am coming home now and then to do a bit of laundry and pick up things we need. I am trying to not do a whole lot of work while I am on holidays - other than the regular writing jobs I have scheduled.
I hope that everyone has a chance to take some kind of holiday, and spend some quality time with your families. These are the memories that are important to a child - I know because my dad always made sure we had a family camping trip every summer growing up, and I know how wonderful those memories are to me. And, it is exactly the reason I am hoping to give my own children a treasure of memories of their own.
So - if you don’t hear from me for awhile, don’t worry! I haven’t forgotten about everyone, and in fact have some very big plans for something wonderful for the coming month. I am working with another work at home mom, and we are getting something together that I think will be exactly what everyone is looking for when starting to look for ways to work from home!
Make sure you have already signed up for the mailing list so that you can hear about it as it is brought out in the next couple of months!
Until then, have a nice summer!

Obviously, if you want to work from home, you must have your own reasons. For most moms, it is being able to be home with the kids, and still be earning money. For some, it may be that they live in a very remote area with little access to daycare or even available jobs which would provide the money they need. Or, maybe some of you are just so tired of having to juggle so many things, watching the times you could be with your kids just fly past you.
Whatever your reasons, it is important to understand them. That way, when you begin to feel discouraged, or think that it can’t be done, you can sit down and think about what made you begin your search in the first place.
Last night, I was reminded why I have been putting so much into building my own business these past 2 years. It hasn’t always been easy, and I have struggled to find what was right for me, and made more mistakes and bad judgement calls than I care to imagine!
At times, I have thought that maybe it just wasn’t meant to be for me - and that maybe it was time to accept going back to work at a J-O-B.
Last night, I was able to remember exactly why I started this journey.
After I had gotten my 3 year old to sleep, I went in to my other daughter’s room. (She is 5. I always lay down with them at night to help them sleep - I know! All the experts are likely hyperventilating - but that is my favorite time of the day, when I can lay with them and watch them go off to sleep. It is probably more for me than them, because I know that soon enough, they won’t need me doing that anymore!)
Anyway! As I went into her room, I could hear her crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she was crying so hard I could barely understand her. She told me she missed Daddy.
He is a truck driver, and unfortunately, has not been able to be around very much. The main reason I had given up my job as a nurse was because I didn’t want my kids to feel like we were both missing in their lives. And, the reason I got started looking for some way I could make enough money working at home, that someday, my little girls could have their daddy at home.
We live in a very small community, so there isn’t much for men as far as good paying jobs, unless you are a banker, accountant - that kind of work. But, I had always figured that if I could be making enough, then my husband could either work online with me or find something around here that he could be home every night.
And - that is still my goal. Not so much for me, as my little girls. And, I know now that no matter what, I will be at home with my kids so that I can be there to comfort them when they need it.
Once you understand your own reasons, it will help make your determination stronger, and will help you get closer to reaching your dreams.

To all you moms out there - HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
I am just taking a minute to stop by and send wishes out to all of you. I know that if you are stopping by here, you are most likely interested in learning how you can work from home.
I will keep giving ideas and resources here as I find them, and the guide is almost finished and ready to go on sale! So, hopefully you will get some ideas from it to help you figure out how you can stay at home with your kids and still be making money.
I am very excited about this site! I know that it is possible, and I want to be able to show you all how to do it for yourselves! It is a great feeling to be able to be home, set your own hours and still be making money. In fact, on Tuesday, I get to be a mom helper for my daughter’s nursery school field trip to the fire station. It is wonderful to just be able to do that whenever I want.
So, for Mother’s Day, I am making the wish that you all find a way that you will be able to enjoy working at home!

Well, I decided it was time to get that first post out of the way!
I have been very busy these past few weeks getting the finishing touches put on the Work At Home For Moms Guide - and I am very happy with how it is turning out!
I have had a few reviews come back, and so far it seems to be a hit (fingers crossed!).
I hope to have it up and ready to go in the next few days - if nothing gets in the way. This will be a great resource for any woman who wants to work from home, and I truly hope that it helps even a few people to be able to achieve their goals. And, it is not going to be a high priced item either - I promise!
I also have been picking up some great material that I will have the rights to resell, or give away in a membership area. I have picked up guides that go into a lot more depth about starting a writing business, starting a scrapbooking business - and a couple others. When I eventually get a member area set up, I will be able to give access to some of these great reports and articles I have put together each month to help get even further ahead.
I am very excited about where all of this will go, and I am looking forward to having you here!
