Stay at home working moms.
Yes, yes you can be a stay at home working mom. I know a large number of work from home moms. And each one of them has an amazing talent they are offering to the world.
One mom is an amazing photographer, another offers paint classes. And another has a home based pastry business. We all have our own unique gifts and talents we can turn into possible income to help support our families.
