I am sometimes amazed at the various opportunities there are to work from home. Take a conversation I had last week with a neighbor who lives two doors down from us. We have lived in our home for nearly 8 years now and although we are friendly with our neighbors, we haven’t had a chance to really get to know all of them. So I happened to be out front one day and another neighbor was outside. We ended up striking up a conversation about a cat that wanders around the neighborhood. That turned into a variety of other topics, … Continue reading →

One of the downsides to a home-based business is the uncertainties of it. You never know what direction it will go. It is sometimes hard to gauge how successful or unsuccessful it will be.

At the same time, I always keep in the back of my mind that this could end at anytime. Anything could happen. The company could make cuts, … Continue reading →

I want to introduce you to Sugar & Spice. Sugar & Spice is a brand new business that sells all natural body scrubs, lip balm, organic soaps and homemade vanilla. What makes this business special is the focus and the vision of the owner. If you read Proverbs 31, you will see that the “virtuous woman” did many things to earn money from home. It is my desire to train my daughters to be stay-at-home moms that know how to help with the family finances! Not only that, but it’s a great way to train them to make, save and … Continue reading →
