Need Money!!
Hi, i know there is many moms out there who work from home. I recently quit my job as it was too far and worked many hours so i would hardly spend time w/ my husband and son. Now that i am not working we have just enough to pay the bills and for necessities. I am very dedicated, and i love to spend time w/ my family, i would love to work from home to help my husband out and so that i can spend time w/ my family. If any of you have any real job listings.. I would appreciate it!! Thanks

I don't know what job experience you have or what your resume is... but try going to www.monster.com and search for "telecommuting jobs." using the search words "telecommute."
As you may know, "monster.com" is a major online jobs search site. Corporations use it too, to recruit employees.
With telecommuting, the whole idea is you work from home... on your computer.
Also, you can search online for "freelancing" jobs. Depending on of course, your job experience or specialty, or resume.
You are young, but you seem very responsible and a dedicated worker... bravo for you!
Another option is, babysitting. Which is an at-home "job." ANd the need for babysitters is always there. BUT, you will be having another baby soon, so it may not be great timing for this kind of "job."
I would search job/employment websites, like "monster.com" and see what telecommuting jobs there are.... therefore, you are a real paid "employee" and not spending money to someone else in order to "sell" something like products.
ALSO, try asking your present Employer... if they have any telecommuting type jobs... since you already worked there and have a work history there.
Or, you can sell things on E-bay. But as with any sales, your income will vary each month.
Good luck...
Oh, as a side-note... there is something called Free Cycle- www.freecycle.org where you can get things you need for free. Especially important and useful for anyone with a budget and children.
For me, I have an online boutique, thru Cafe Press, where I design t-shirts among other things. I am not a graphics artist "expert" nor a "professional"... but it is something I enjoy and I taught myself how to use my own graphics software. Long story short, I have fun with it and can make some nice pocket change for myself. www.cafepress.com/littlegoogoo
I was all self-taught... and did TONS of research on it. But it is so fun!
All the best, I am a SAHM too, and I understand your feelings on this. But as with anything, it is going to take a LOT of research... for you to find something, that will fit you, that you can do from home. I spent HOURS and MONTHS researching things too....and only you will know for sure, what will appeal to you or what your previous work history can apply to, or what skills you have so that you can branch out into another "career." I even did babysitting too. This is a guarantee income as well. But when I had my 2nd child, I stopped babysitting.
All the best,
Susan

Hi R., I have tried many home based business's, and they can be costly, but I have been running my own daycare out of my home for almost 12 years now, July 1 will be 12 years. We had decided before we stated our family that I would stay home and raise our children, so when my husband retired from the Military in 1996, things got tight, so i wanted to help, I needed to help, so I statrted a home daycare. It's very easy to get Licensed, a little to easy, but I enjoy it, it has it's pros and cons like with any job, but I feel the pros and weigh the cons. J. L.

Hi R., I just read your post and I hope you found something, but I thought I would let you know about what I found to bring in extra income, incase you are still looking. I started with Scentsy candles in Dec. and it has been really great! I can stay at home and work it around my schedule. I make anywhere from $100 to $500 a month depending on how much I do. Many people make full time income with Scentsy. It is a very young company so there is tons of room to grow. Anyway you can check Scentsy out at www.scentsy.com/danacarey if you have any questions holler. Good luck!

Hi R.,
I've been a SAHM by choice for the last 4 years and for the past 2 years partnered up with a company where I have been able to generate some residual income from home. It is very flexible, there is no selling and no large investment required. I tried several work at home JOBS and realized the flexibility was just NOT there which is what a needed with a little one at home.. I made minimal money and was tied to their schedule. This home business allows me to work around my family's schedule and I've made more than 3x what I made with the other JOBS...
You are welcome to visit my website www.HelpUstayHome.com or you can private message me and we can talk and get you all the details!
