We recently moved to Arkansas, to a much bigger home. Read more about this on my two other blog posts; Moving from Colorado to Arkansas, and How we went from a 600 to a 2200 sq foot house. It has been a long process with taking more than five 15 hour trips back and forth and now trying to do some home repairs ourselves. The stress has been real! Now we have gotten a lot of stuff somewhat lined up, next will be my office.
We are taking a three week vacation starting next week, follow the Horror Movie site trip here, Once we return from the trip, it is time to get my home business off its feet like I have been trying to do for years. I will be doing online sales of items like antiques and coins. As well as refurbishing some small items like lamps and possibly furniture. This business will be in addition to the stock trading and online writing.
The first step is setting up an actual home office. I will be using a camper for this. It is the camper I have lived in for the last seven years, but I am remodeling it specifically for a home office. I also received a huge storage shed with the home I purchased, so I will be setting up a work area and storage area for products I am working on or that I have listed on sites such as Ebay and Etsy.
Being a work at home mom is something I have strived for for a long time. I finally have it in my grasp after working many 70 hour weeks over the last 11 years. I am done working for other people. This is due to trying to raise my children with me around, as well as some medical issues that I have that prevent me from working on my feet tat long ever again.
To all of those women or men that are working hard in their life, do not be afraid to change or work hard for what you want in life. Their will always be set backs and hurdles to cross. Use those as growing and learning experiences.
