February is American Heart Month
I love February for many reasons. In recent years though my list has grown to include this month because of American Heart Month. It is so inspirational to hear stories of women and how they were able to refocus their lives to promote their own well being.

What I Have Learned in my “Mommy-Hood”
The Mommy-Hood is what I refer to as the “mom” neighborhood that I joined once I became pregnant. I never knew how my life would change or how many things I would need and other things that I thought I would need that I would not. So many people tell you what it will be [...]

Freelance writing is a wonderful way for moms to earn a full time income from home and keep flexible hours so they can be there when their kids need them. I meet many moms who would like to work as a freelance writer but they think that it is out of their reach because they do not have an English Degree. While having an English Degree does open some doors, it is very rarely required for freelance writing.

How Private is your Blog?
I have to admit, the world is changing a bit too fast for me. Social media has changed the way we shop, think, and live our lives, but it brings new challenges in terms of our privacy. My son cannot comprehend that we didn’t get the internet in my home until I was 14. When he asks why, I tell him, it just didn’t exist, and that blows his mind. As we slowly started using the internet for more and more things, privacy became an issue. I was always told never put any personal information on the internet. None. I thought that was stupid. Then my smart 14 year old self shared our AOL username and password with a chat window that popped up claiming to be from AOL and never thought to wonder about the 4 or 5 new screen names that appeared in our login window until the bill came. And that was the nothing compared to internet sex offenders, child abductors, and identity theft that happens today.
Running a Home Daycare – Communicating with Parents
As a home daycare provider, you have a lot of responsibilities. Unlike working in a center, home daycare providers are responsible for all aspects of care, including, childcare, cooking, cleaning, marketing, finances, and curriculum planning.

Open and honest communication creates a partnership between caregiver and parent which is what really makes the foundation of quality childcare.

Work at Home Jobs to Avoid
I have always worked a regular job outside the home since my kids were babies. I have slowly moved up in pay over the years, but felt that I was never appreciated for the time I contributed to each job, and for the skills that I have. I have always wanted to work from home, so when I got laid off in April, I started my search for a work at home job. I searched for several months, not finding anything. I actually got scammed a couple times with jobs that promised pay similar to what I was making before the lay off. Here is a list of work at home jobs to avoid when doing your research.
