Working from home is awesome, right? I mean, you get to work in your pajamas, free from distractions such as coworkers bugging you with mindless gossip. You can watch your morning show, get a load of laundry done, or go out for a walk without anyone wondering where you are. But then, there is the ever-present…

While I was in Chicago this past weekend, I met a LOT of people ...

people from all over the world and from all walks of life who are locking arms with us as we continue on with our movement in helping more people live their dreams.



But there is a person I met, that completely blew my mind!



His name is Jesse, he is 12 years old and he is from Holland.…

Does your newborn constantly have scratch marks on their face? As a mom, this used to drive me crazy because I didn’t want my beautiful babies face all scratched up. When my oldest son was a baby, I found these cute mittens that covered up his hands to keep him from scratching up his face even if I just spent the…

I feel another project coming on. As I mentioned I'm taking a break from the stairs therefore I'm moving on to the family room. Suffice it to say, the family room carpet is AWFUL, GROSS, ICKY. I hate it! It has served it's purpose, it has been…

So after ripping up the carpet on one step on the stairs headed up to the rooftop - I determined that the stairs under the carpet are a decent wood and have a nice rounded edge. …

Sparked by Yahoo’s recent decision to ban telecommuting, and following my on-air appearance on the Today Show,I have received hundreds of emails from people around the world…

These past few weeks have been interesting to say the least. Really...Interesting. It always baffles me when you think someone is a good person but they turn out to be a complete asshat.…

When I started working from home when it was out of necessity. Money was tight and I was pregnant. Our son was starting part-time pre-school and we needed the funds to pay for it. Getting a job out of the home, aside from nights and weekends, was not an option, as we had one car and no affordable daycare.

But I got lucky, and was offered an opportunity to work at home.

And then I got luckier, and started a business that I run out of my home.

It the American Dream! Except…

This morning as I played with our preschooler and our toddler, I started thinking about how much I really enjoy having the opportunity to be a work from home mom. I started thinking about all of the awesome benefits, but with everything (even great things) there are challenges.

Below is a list of my work at home mom pros and cons. Enjoy!

My Adventures With my 2 Kids

A few weeks ago, my husband asked me if I needed anything from the store.  I asked him if he would pick up my youngest son a coloring book because he kept grabbing my pen from me when I wasn’t watching and kept telling me that he wanted to draw.  I took the pen away from him and he was devastated, even though…

When I took my son to his 9 month old well baby check up, his doctor told me that she wanted to make sure that he was off the bottle around his first birthday.  I really didn’t think this was going to be possible to wean him from the bottle by the time he was a year old but it was easier than I expected…
