Going from working full time to a stay at Home Mom

Ranked #23,538 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #454,260 overall

From full time counselor to full time stay at home Mom

Four months ago due to my health I had to take FMLA, after FMLA ran out I was terminated from my job. So I am no a full time stay at home Mom. At first I thought I would be so bored but I was so very wrong!!!!

Stay at home Moms do have one of the hardest jobs in the world and I just want to tell all the others out there "Great Job"

Taking on cooking, cleaning, paying taxi service, planning all events for 2 busy elementary school children and my husband (my 5th child). I have 2 children in their 20s and do not let anyone tell you as they get older raising them gets easier, that is so not true!!!

Time management

Stay at Home Mom duties and trying to start an online shop

School themed tutu one piece outfits, any school you want, just let me knowMy my my !! What was I thinking!!

I have always been crafty and I thought since I was unemployed now I would have all kinds of time to work on crafts and sell them online. Wrong!!
By the time I get the little ones off to school adn my husband off to work, clean the house, feed the pets, do the laundry ( I swear it multiples in the basement) and do all the running that my wonderful Mom handled for me before, I find at least half of the day is gone!!!

But I am determined to make and sell my craft, I can do this!!!!! I found a wonderful site to sell crafts on www.etsy.com it is awesome!!!!

I have placed a few items on there for sale. It seems everyday I have a new idea of things to make and sale. My new thing is recycling trash, things we were going to throw away. I have found so wonderful websites about this.

I am including a few pictures of items I am making!! Please if you like something let me know, I do not care if you want to buy it, that would be awesome, but I am really wanting to know what people think of the things I am making!!

Great Stuff on Amazon
