Becoming a Work at Home Single Mom

Most of my readers know that my dream is to become a work at home single mom. I am working hard to accomplish this dream. I have been putting in a lot of extra time when I can to update blogs, write articles, submit Lenses, do surveys, and sell items on Ebay. I have to say it is taking a lot out of me, but I know that this is what has to be done to reach my dreams of becoming a work at home single mom.

What I am doing to reach my goal:

My other new project is selling items at the local Farmers Market. I made my first batch of Jalapeno Pepper Jelly today, and will be trying it to make sure it tastes as good as it should. Tomorrow I will be making Spicy Honey Mustard. Some other things I will be making may be; homemade crackers, peanut brittle, preserves, salsa and tortilla chips. I will not start selling at the farmers market until next Summer, but I want to perfect my recipes and get my ServSafe certification again. I am ready for my next big step in becoming a work at home single mom. All of the things I am trying to do will help me be with my son more, and I am excited as well as motivated. Life is going to get better, God will show me the way to make it all work.

I am hoping I will be able to share my success story with becoming a work at home single mom in a few month. This is a process, and I have to keep up my momentum for success. My son is the most important thing in the world for me. His dad is not involved with him, and pays nothing. I am his sole provider, and I need to reach this goal for him and I both. Thank you everyone for continuing to read and the support.

New Life, New Goals

It has been a little while since I have updated my blog, but I have been busy. My family and I made the big move to Colorado on the 15th of August. It took weeks to get everything together, and hard work to get it all moved with three women and 4 kids. I have to say that I am proud of us, because we did it. This is a new life for us and I am making real goals in my life that I am sticking to.

To start I have found a job, and it is a decent job for the area that we live in. It will be full time and I will be able to get benefits after six months. The only problem is that the income will not cover everything in the house and my mom and sister are both disabled. I have a couple of options; find a second job or work even more online. I am choosing working even more online. In the last few months my work has suffered because I have not made myself stick to a schedule or focus on goals. Well that is going to change. This is my new life and I am going to make goals in all aspects of my life.

My Online Goals for September: (Starting small to adjust to the schedule)

-Write 10 articles a week
-Update blogs at lease once a week
-Put together 5 Squidoo Lenses
-Work at lease an hour a day on my other projects
