Hi, Emily, It's been 179 days since you posted, but my answer is that I know many mom who choose to stay at home with their children and work from home. They are in many different business that work from home, but the ones I know are in a particular business that gives them a good income, and freedom to be with their kids. I am a grandmother so I don't have small kids at home anymore. But I can give you a website that you might want to check out and see if you might be interested. It is www.barc.ourperfectbusiness.com. I just attended a convention last weekend and heard many of these mom speak of their businesses and how happy that they can work when they want to and still have freedom to go to school activities, etc. One mom (whose husband has quit his job and works with her now) they get up in the morning, get the kids off to school, then come back home, work their business, then go out for lunch, go back home for some more work, then pick up the kids at school and do whatever they want to do with the kids. Their children are so fortunate to have a mom and dad who are able to do this. Anyway, didn't mean to ramble on but you might check it out. Good luck!
