So, You Want To Be A Work From Home Mom?

What exactly are the options for a mom to make money at home?
Unfortunately, there are scams everywhere – some you may have heard of sound too good to be true – and they usually are. Oftentimes, women lose a lot of money before they even find a legitimate opportunity, let alone one that they love.

Hire Your Kids

Hiring your children in your business can be a great tax savings strategy, as well as a way to teach your children about business and money.
Wages paid to your children (between the ages 7 and 17) are a valid business deduction, as long as they do bona fide work, and they are compensated fairly.

Pricing – Are my prices too low?

Tempted To Compete On Price?
Resist it, if this is your main strategy! It’s true that prices may come down as competition grows fiercer for the consumers that still have money during this tough recession. However, if your only reason to reduce prices is to gain more customers, this strategy is doomed to fail. It’s not [...]

WAHM and Mommy Guilt

It’s not like we don’t have enough mommy guilt, just being moms…
Being a wahm means that the kids actually get to see us at work. They know how tied we are to our computers, to our jobs. They know they compete with the computer for attention. Some savvy kids are smart enough to point it [...]

Our House is a Little Different than Most

If you peeked in our kitchen this morning, it probably looks pretty normal.
