Work At Home Mom. It's that simple, or is it really?

I've been a WAHM for nearly 9 years and it's certainly one of the hardest jobs I've ever had. Not only do I run a home-based business, but I have two children & a husband, a house to clean, groceries to purchase, bills to pay, a dog to make sure is taken care of. I also went back to college full-time so I've got homework and studying to do.

I just don't think there are enough hours in a day to accomplish everything I need to accomplish. The family is my top priority. I have no problem living in a messy house if I have no time or motivation to clean it daily. My customers have always been understanding if I get a bit behind in orders.

So what do I do for a living? I make & sell handmade soap. Yup, soap! I've been making soap since my youngest was a baby because of skin allergies and a desire to make something natural to put on our skin. I started with glycerin soap bases and eventually moved to cold process soapmaking. I love the creativity I have with glycerin soap, but also like the natural ingredients I use in the cold process soaps.

Here's an example of my glycerin soap & all natural soap:

I'd like to feature other WAHM sites on my blog so if you know of an outstanding site, please leave me a note in the comments section.

Thanks!

Networking

I am looking for WAHM sites to exchange links with. Please send a comment with your request & I will check out your site or blog. I am looking for family friendly sites only. I also reserve the right to refuse any site I don't feel fits in with my business philosophy.

Thanks & I look forward to linking to some great sites!

Let's Get Posting!

I've had this blog for quite a while & used to actually write on it. It has been ages since I've used it and thought now was a great time to get started again.

So here's a little update about what I've been doing lately:

I've gone back to college to work toward teacher certification for early childhood. That's right, I'm going to be a teacher. Today was the last day of the semester and I've got one year left before I get a job.

As for the soap business, that is still a priority in my life. Now that I have a couple months off from school I am going to be updating the site and will be posting the info here.

Please stay tuned as I add new content!
