Toddler Times
A Day In the Life of a Work at Home Mom with a Toddler
Those glasses should be on my face!
I never in a million years thought I would become a work at home mother while my children were all still at home. I always imagined being a “susie homemaker” stay at home mom. And for my first couple years as a mother, that is exactly what happened.
Then I got pregnant with Addison, and life threw me a handful of awesome and unexpected surprises, that rocketed me into the growing world of work at home mothers.
To describe my day-to-day life as crazy would be a serious understatement.
I wanted to share a couple parts of my day with readers, so that you can kind of get the full effect of what my day actually is like. Because of course people are always asking me not only WHAT I do, but HOW I do it.
Need a good laugh… just remember while you are reading there is a tone of heavy sarcasm. That always seems to be the case when I post about the stress in my day to day life!
Can’t take it all too seriously, right?
Any other work at home moms out there who have their children home with them?

Natalie commented on Jan 06 12 at 9:54 pmI am a full time work at home mom and have a part time job out of the home…going to “work” outside the home is like a Hawaiian vacation compared to having to work at home with kids in tow…GAH!
Cesar commented on Mar 12 12 at 6:37 amThanks Sherman! Yes, there are compelling rosneas why moms everywhere want to work at home. The problem is most of them don’t know where to start, & where they do think they have found something worthwhile, there is the possibilty they will get scammed in some way.By making information available I am hoping to help educated moms about the right ways to go about finding the right home business.
