Raising a child: Then and now

December 5, 2012 Leave a Comment

I received an interesting infographic entitled “Crib to College” comparing the costs of raising a child up until sending him/her to college. Although the year of comparison 1960 seem so far-stretched, still the trend for the cost is going up, up, up! And I’m really really nervous and worried every time I think of the time when Gwen goes to school. I hope Jeff and I can still send her to a really good school. =)

Meanwhile, check out this infographic and see what I’m talking about:

It’s a WAHMderful Life Workshop

August 30, 2012 Leave a Comment

What it’s like to be a work-at-home mom (WAHM)? I happened to preview what it’s like to be one after I gave birth to Gwen and I was on a 2-month maternity leave, I had an online job I got from Odesk aside from blogging on the side. Before I got pregnant, I had a successful online shop at Multiply, Pink Fortune. I love accessories and that’s what I sell then. With that experience, I love the fact that I’m earning even if I’m in my jammies.

The idea of being a WAHM always crosses my mind whenever I have yaya problems…

Of course I know that there are plenty of possibilities online (writing gigs, data entry, reserach, social media) and offline through home-based business, but some problems I might face being a WAHM is TIME MANAGEMENT and CONTINUITY. I really lack time management skills and the idea of working at home with all the temptations like the TV, the bed, etc. is so not for me. Also, I noticed that I easily get uninterested after a month or two with my online jobs that’s why I’m afraid that I can’t have a stable income.

Martine of DaintyMom.com, on the other hand, is having a WAHMderful life already! She found her bliss and she wants to help us moms to have a successful WAHM life.

Manila Workshops together with Dainty Mom bring you It’s a WAHMderful Life: A Work-at-Home Moms 101.
