Article Marketing Crusade to Support Moms' Work at Home

Ranked #176,676 in Business & Work, #1,264,695 overall

I was sitting at my computer one day thinking about the fact that most writing jobs really don't pay very much. I have puzzled for years about how to use my love for writing to make good money and be present with my children.

I work from home

I want to work at home and be mentally and emotionally present with my kids and that means having time to spend with them, not just chained to a computer day and night.

My daily routine

The day starts with coffee: 15 minutes with my husband before he disappears to commuterland for 10 to 12 hours a day. "Jake, come and visit us again sometime?" I used to tease, but now I just savor the moments.

My tips for keeping a good work-life balance from home

1. Never use credit for you business unless you are prepared for the first-case scenario.
2. Use a kitchen timer to make sure I don't work at my computer for more than 45 minutes at one sitting (usually my kids make the timer unnecessary!)
