Do You Also Find Parenting a Challenge?

Mothering is the hardest thing I’ve ever done – it’s also the most rewarding.

Just today, my 8 year old called from school at the end of the day – he’d received detention – for the second day in a row. Yesterday a student decided to “give” my son a pile of mud – in his locker! Well, being the problem solver that he his, Bryan decided to give something back. He promptly proceeded to pick up that pile of mud and throw it back at the “giver”. Unfortunately, he missed, and ended up giving the school wall a brand new look.

Ahhh children – the spice of life! Long ago my husband and I decided I would try to stay home while raising pre-school children and he would work full-time. The two oldest are now in school, but I still stay home with my four-year-old.

What does this look like? For starters, three years ago I began my own bookkeeping business that I run from my home office. However, this limits my income to the number of hours I have in a day. The children are growing, and so expenses are growing too.

I am an avid “surfer” and began to notice that many, MANY people seemed to be making a decent living on-line. Some of them were making an incredible income. I figured, if they could learn how, why not me?

So I began a new journey … (to be continued)

I wanted to make a lot of money – FAST!

I started searching for (and falling for) any and every “get-rich-quick” scheme I came across. (OK, maybe not all of them). But I did lose money time and again. I spent hours and hours searching, reading, worrying – you know the drill.

I finally came across one that had me dancing! I was going to be RICH, and in very short order! I lost no time convincing my entire family and all my friends to get in on this! We also lost no time in losing our money – some of us, a LOT of money - hard earned money.

Before, it was just ME losing money on these lousy programs. Now, my family was hurting. And that hurt me. Wow, talk about feeling responsible. No one blamed me, and for that I’m grateful. However, I began to take a long hard look at what I was doing. What was I searching for?

My motive for getting family and friends to join was pure. I wanted to help them – truly help them. I wanted to see them succeed and enjoy all the blessings that I felt they deserved! My motive was right – but I was searching for and using all the wrong tools.

I took a deep breath and decided I was no longer jumping on every band wagon. Deep research and thoughtful questions were going to precede my next business decision. I was really slow at getting into my next venture, and I sponsored no one, on purpose. “Not saying a word till I’m confident and making money.”

I’m happy to say that program is still making me money every day, although it is slow. I just keep the tortoise and the hare in mind, though. After mastering this program, reading every page and completely understanding it, then – and only then – I was ready to find the next vehicle to financial independence.

I wasn’t even looking for it, when it fell into my lap … (continued)

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

I love network marketing! I also love to be at home and try to be here most of the time. I am raising three boys alongside my husband of 14 years.

I do work out of the house a few hours a week when I am meeting with clients. However, usually a short commute takes me to my basement, where I run a small bookeeping service. I work from home so I can be here with my children.

You're a mom yourself or you wouldn't be here! I applaud you! You ARE doing a good job, and yes, mom, you are too hard on yourself. Love, love love - THAT'S what they'll remember! We do our best, God fills in the blanks.

Perhaps you're interested in joining an on-line business, or would simply like to connect with another stay-at-home mom. You've come to the right place. Here you will find another mother's journey, stories about my kids, and how it all ties into working from home.

I'm glad you're here! Please visit often!

My kids' mom,
Sara Peters
