Anyone out there work from home? What do you do? How did you get your job? And is it really as lovely as it sounds?
Actually, I laready know the answer to that. Maybe a better question to ask is how do you make it work?
I am going to take maternity leave early because I just don't have it in me to work anymore, but I'd like to try and still bring in some kind of money. I have done freelance writing in the past and think that's probably my best bet, but I just feel so out of it that stringing together a coherent query letter seems next to impossible.
I feel like my brain is mush lately. My creativity is slowly coming back, but I don't know how to harness it and turn it into cash. Any advice?

I too would love to hear of some profitable, legitimate work at home options. Even something that I could do part time to supplement what I make at my part time job since working full time isn't an option for us in our day care situation.
I hope you get some good replies since I will be back to see if I can snatch any ideas.
Go check out Petite Mommy Blogger:(contestformoms.com) She is a work at home Mom, with a website devoted to ideas for work at home moms. Check her out...
I do not work from home but only because I chose not to. I am a medical transcriptionist. When I was on maternity leave I planned to work from home, but at the last minute I nixed the idea.
I work from home for my stepdad. He got me my computer, I have my phone line all set up, and I do transcription and stuff right from my office. It's kinda hard because you already never leave "work" when you're a mom, and now I really never leave work. But I love the freedom.
I work from home answering calls for diffrent companies. In the past I have worked for Home Depot, Virgin Airlines and currently I work for Walgreens. This is an actual at home business where you are a subcontractor working for these companies from home. If you want more info or the website please feel free to email me. I work between 15 and 30 hours per week depending on how many clients I have and how many hours I want to work. I love it. I wanted an option so I did not have to put my son in daycare. tsteffens4@aol.con
i've worked from hope for almost 8 years now. i love the flexibility i have since i have 4 kids and a very busy schedule. i am a sales rep for an oil company based out of new jersey and i live in PA...i have a phone, fax and the computer and i have a client base which i utilize to obtain new orders. they have a number seperate from my home number should the clients need to call and ask a question. i have also (inbetween), done appointment setting from home. i worked for a local newspaper setting up appointments for the salesmen to go and visit existing and potentially new clients to obtain contracts for advertising.
i also have my blog and earn money by selling add space and writing reviews of websites and products.
in all instances, if i have to leave the house, i just forward my calls to my cell and work from the road. i can take the kids to the doctors, go shopping and still earn money. good luck, i hope you find something!
I work from home as a homeschool teacher/tutor. I have my education degree. After spending a couple years in the classroom, I was fed up with the politics and the high-stakes testing that overshadowed everything else.
I homeschool a couple girls from my area as well as oversee other homeschool families as a go-to teacher. It's nice because I'm earning money and am able to get my kids with me.
