Hi Everyone!
I have a question- Do you know of any legitimate jobs that you can do from home? I was supposed to have a little girl in my care starting next week but her mom backed out on me after I had already given my notice at my job. I so despiratley want to be home but we could not survive with one paycheck. Have any of you heard of data enrty jobs maybe?
I am just feeling rotten over this and need some encouragement from fellow believers. I know that God is in control but sometimes we just need to be reminided of that. Any ideas you could send would be much appreciated!! Thanks!! :( :(

Gotta recommend WAHM Talk Radio for info. Their button/link is on our main page, under radio affiliates.

I know several SAHM's that sell Tastefully Simple products.....awesome food, good prices that people will be able to afford and super easy to make, and no storing products or delivering them since they ship directly to the people who order now they say.....worth a look!

Hi and welcome! I'm a SAHM too and I am a Creative Memories consultant. Don't know if you are into scrapbooking but I really enjoy doing that. Look forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome! I am a SAHM but I do work a few hours a week. I do bookkeeping for a plumber and an HVAC company using the Quickbooks software. Basically I process weekly payroll and payroll taxes, make sure bills are paid on time and process accounts receivables. If you have any bookkeeping experience I would recommend it. The paperwork and computer is at their office and it only takes about 3-5 hours per week. I get paid the same amount that I did when I worked for our Town government 40 hours a week. Contractors generally don't want to take the time to keep up paperwork and a checkbook so they think what I do is invaluable. There is a huge need for people who do what I do. In fact I've had to turn people away. This job was truly an answer to many hours of spilling my heart out to God. I physically and mentally couldn't function working outside the home. God is so good and if you feel He is calling you home He will make a way. I'll be praying for you! Looking forward to your prasie report :wink:

Hi and welcome! I am a SAHM but I work a few hours a week in my church preschool. I don't know if that is an option for you, but one of the things I love about it is I can take ds with me if dh can't keep him. It is hard living on mostly one paycheck, but it can work. Take care and keep us posted on how it is going.
