5 Ways To Tell If A Preschooler Is Living In Your House
By Deborah Shelton

1. You reheated the same cup of coffee three times this morning.

2. There is always one more person in your bed in the morning, than there was the night before.

3. You can’t imagine life without the Cartoon Network.

4. The lock on your bathroom door is purely for decoration… After all, no locked door could withstand, “Mom? What are you doing? Mom? Can I come in? Mom? Can I show you something? Mom? Can I give you a hug? Mom? Can you hear me? Mom?

5. You have started —or signed— a petition to banish the word “why” from every language known to man.

Today's Guest Writer Talks About The Challenges of a Work From Home Mom!

The Challenges of a Work From Home Mom
By J Laverde

So you wanna work from home? You're definitely in for a treat. The only thing is everything won't be pie in the sky. If you want to work from home, get ready to face some challenges. And if you're planning on being a work from home mom, get ready to face even more challenges. Here are what some of those challenges are and how to deal with them.

Time management

Work from home moms have a lot of distractions at home. The kids are playing. Food is cooking and who knows what else is going on. But the bottom line is the bills still need to get paid. That's why it's essential for a work from home mom to properly manage her time. Stay at home mom's have a lot to do. And for a stay at home to get every thing done, she needs to create a priority list. This is one of the most important methods of time management for the stay at home mom. With a priority list, a mom who works from home can manage the most important things she needs to do and the least important things she needs to do.

A work from home mom also needs to create schedule. A schedule will help a stay at home mom gauge how much time she has for her tasks each day before she begins them. That way she can make adjustments to her schedule if they are needed.

Adjusting to the type of work

There are all kinds of things work from home moms can do to make money to support their families. They can work online. And they can even make arts and crafts or sell things out of their home. It's very easy for a stay at home mom to make money working online. And today, working online is becoming more and more popular. But the thing is, working from home online often isn't like working outside of the home. The skills needed for working from home may be very basic. They may include things like typing or telemarketing.

It may take some time for a work at home mom to get used to doing this type of work. The work may be less challenging than past jobs. However, working from home still is challenging. When compared to working outside of the home, working from home provides new challenges and new adventures.

Anyone who wants to work from home certainly has their work cut out for them. But over the long haul, it's all worth it.

Today's Guest Writer Talk About Having It All!

How To Stay Focused As A Dynamic Work At Home Mom
By Stephanie Sammour

Today a woman can actually have it all. A brilliant career, a family and the luxury of being able to stay home with her children. Because of the advantages afforded to us by the internet as well as other technology, a stay at home mom can also be a working mom.

It is easier than ever for any busy mom to work from home. It is simple to develop an online business and does not entail a lot of start up costs. Take the example of Mary, a stay at home mom who wanted to be able to take care of her two young children and also work from home. Mary had a dream to earn money online, so she looked into different work at home options.

"Many of the choices that were out there to work at home seemed like something that I could do," said Mary, who was a secretary prior to quitting her job and staying home with her children. "I wanted something that could really make me a lot of money. I was sick and tired of working for peanuts when I worked outside the home and thought I could use this opportunity to build a successful online career."

Mary began selling jewelry on Ebay and made a little bit of money. She reinvested the money into buying and making more jewelry and expanded her business. After six months, Mary not only was making a huge profit on Ebay, but also had her own website.

Today, Mary is the primary breadwinner for her family. She still enjoys the luxury of making her own hours and spends all the time she wants with her children. Her flexible schedule with her work from home business enables Mary to be able to not only spend a lot of time with her husband and children, but also find time to volunteer at the school.

"I am doing everything that I always wanted to do, thanks to my internet business," Mary says. This stay at home is also a work at home mom who made good on her promise to herself to develop an online career.

Mary is far from alone in carving out a successful work at home career. Many stay at home moms have become successful moms in their own businesses. The key to being a success, according to Mary, is to stay focused, set both short term and long term goals and treat your online business or work from home job as a real job. Make sure that you put in enough hours to make it successful, but still leave yourself time to enjoy your family as well as other endeavors.

Mary's online business of selling jewelry has become so successful that she is now mentoring other stay at home moms who want to also earn money online. She has set up a workshop to teach others how to manage to have it all - a career and time with the family - without feeling stressed out all of the time.

"If I can help other women achieve the same level of success that I managed in two years, I'll be very happy," said Mary, a dynamic work at home mom who focused on her goals to become a successful online entrepreneur.
