Diary of a WAHM

Working online is one of the most flexible and enjoyable work from home jobs to have.

But how does "being a WAHM" fit in with "being a mum"?

Narrow it is ...

Well, I am going to take the plunge.

I have read 5 articles this morning that really gave me the jitters - the whole area of working at home is going to be huge in time, and even though my site was meant to narrow the options down to just internet-based work at home jobs...I really think it is still too broad.

I need to look at me, who am *I*, what can I advise on and share my experience of?

... I am a single, internet-based, work at home mum in the UK hoping to help others *like me* to develop webmastering skills to take advantage of the growing local search arena...


...so that is what I need to do!

There are too many articles and too much stuff I want to add to the site, so I need to tighten it up way more than it is. The other problem is that many of the 'jobs' overlap - so you can be a freelance writer, promoting yourself via your own website etc, hard to compartmentalise it like I was trying to.

Anyway, I felt one of the benefits of WAHM life this morning - my daughter had to have some injections...no having to ask for time off or send someone else with her, just go and start work when she's dropped off back at school.

I think this is one of the best things about wahm life ... just being there. I hear lots of adults saying how their mums were out at work when they got in from school and how it would have been nice just to have their mum there when they came home. But, that was/is how things had to be if a mother was to work, hopefully things look like they are changing.

The whole 'work at home' thing gives me a buzz, it has implications for us as individuals, a society and an economy - that is what I want my site to deal with as well.

So, let the fun begin :-)
