what is your current job? I think the most successful way to continue to make income is to brainstorm based on what you are already good at

I am the same way!! I hate getting up in the morning and having to drop my daughter off. I want to be able to sleep in and enjoy the whole day with her!! So I started "Stay at Home and Lovin It". Now I have my own business I still work two days a week at my other job. Till the money starts rolling in! lol! But it's inexpensive and has many great advantages. Your not going to get rich over night but with a little time and a little effort it will come. If your interested check out my website and go to get more info. Hopefully I'll be speaking with you soon!! Good luck!!

Hi E.,

I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. I am contracted through LIVEOPS. Its hard to explain but it is soo easy and I work totally around my schedule. Basically you make as much as you want it all depends on how much time you put in. But being a stay at home mom every little bit helps! I highly reccomend checking out the website liveops.com for all of the details. They were featured on Good Morning America as well-its not like the other home from home companies.
Let me know if you need anymore info on it!

THere are things out there, just be careful! If someone wants money up front before giving you any details, walk away. Look for companies that have been around for a while and have an established track record. I work with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and it has allowed me to be home with my son who is just over two years old. I help other moms do the same thing and I love that.

Take a look at your life and really see what it is you want to accomplish...where do you want to be in 6 months from now? 1 year from now? It might require you to step out of your comfort zone, to do something different. And that's great! Because what you have been doing until now is what brought you where you are. And the best part is, you can change anything! You get to create exactly the life you want.

I love sharing what I do with others. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to contact me or visit my website.

Thanks!

I have watched childen in my home for over 16 years so I could stay at home with my son. If you are thinking about staying home, I would suggest watching children. It gives you the opportunity to be with your son and also gives him the interaction he needs with other children. It is better than putting him in daycare. You can email me if your thinking about it and if you have any questions. There are classes you have to take but it's all worth it.

Hi E.! In addition to the responses you have already received - you may want to consider looking into something that has worked for me.

I have been a member of MamaSource since my son was born last summer (June 2006) at Winnie Palmer Hospital. Following my 3-month maternity leave, it was financially necessary for me to return to work as a corporate investment banker, even though I craved the opportunity to be able to stay at home with my baby. Following a corporate reorganization at my work in late 2006, which required my colleagues and I to choose between relocating to another office out-of-state or accepting severance packages, my husband and I decided to take a leap of faith - and I took the severance package. In a short amount of time, I was introduced to an extremely innovative product and income-producing opportunity that I could accomplish from home - called "Send Out Cards". Like many of you, I had been frustrated with the lack of quality work-from-home opportunities - never knowing what was ligitimate and what was not.
