I am a stay at home mommy of a beautiful 11 month old son. I have been blessed that my husband has allowed and encouraged me to stay at home with him during his first year and it is just the best thing in the world to me. That being said we have struggled a little financially because of it. I really, REALLY want to be able to continue to stay at home with him but I know we need additional income. My husband works two jobs now just so we can make ends meet and I just know he's exhausted and I do feel kinda guilty about it. Part of the reason I have been staying home with our son is also because of my extreme fear of daycare facilities. I had an extremely bad experience when I was younger at one and so it has truly scarred me on that.
I am looking for a LEGITIMATE work at home opportunity where I can bring in some income and stay home with my son. When I say legitimate I mean no scams, schemes, or ones where I have to invest a truck load of money to get started. Any advice would be most appreciated.
I just visited this site today. Try out www.wahm.com. They have all sorts of telecommuting poitions and refferals.
T.... There are a lot of great opportunities to work from home. I do in-home wine tastings, a great fun way to make money with a new concept. I've been featured on NBC news and will be in the Dallas Morning News in the next few weeks... check out my news piece and website and let me know if you are interested in learning more.

I am a single mom with a 16 month old so I know how hard it can be financially. This is not a get rich scheme, it will take awhile to build but the potential for big income is there. I wish you all the best! K.
Hi T.,
I totally understand about scams with home businesses. I did Mary Kay and invested over $3,000 in inventory. I got wise and got out of that venture. Now I work from home with a company called Mannatech. Please go to the website and see how wonderful this company is - www.Mannatech.com I homeschool 3 children and do this very part-time. I can show you how to share this opportunity of hope with doing most of it from home and very little investing (I've only invested $200 and already gotten that back). I don't know if this will work for you like it has for our family, but isn't it worth the try? I'm soooo not a pushy person :) I would love to talk with you about it more. My home # is ###-###-####. I also understand about not leaving your son at a daycare. I used to work at one when I was working on my college degree and vowed never to leave my own children anywhere but home and their grandparents.
Please call or email me. Would love to hear from you.
God Bless,

I just wanted to let you know about my home business - it is with a health and wellness company called Arbonne International. My husband and I were also very skeptical before we became involved, but we were pleasantly surprised. I was able to leave my full-time job to stay home with our daughter a few months ago. I encourage you to check it out before your before you decide on a business. My website is www.whitsons.myarbonne.com if you would like to read more about it.
Here are some of the reasons we went with this company:
-the company has been in business 25 yrs
-it is a product driven company
-you can invest as much or as little as you want - it is totally up to you
-it is part of the health and wellness industry that is experiencing a lot of growth right now
I would love to answer any questions you have,
thanks,
M.
Hi T.,
I too stay at home with my two wonderful kiddos. One is special needs so I have to be with him to take him to therapy. I just started selling Mary Kay in January. I am already on target for a free car and I make money selling and on my team members I already have. It is only $108.75 for the starter kit and I have seriously gotten people started for that amount. We have an awesome group of women who motivate each other and train you!!!
If you are intersted in hearing more, please email me back. We have a guest event this Thursday and next Tuesday where you can come and just hear more about it without having to sign up or do anything. I really, really love it and look forward to always being home!
You could watch children at home.
Hello :)
I don't have a work at home oppt like Mary Kay or anything - but my small business is hiring an ad rep and you are allowed to work at home if you have the proper setup (internet, phone, printer, etc.)
This is a pt job where you would be contacting small business owners in the Valley Ranch/Las Colinas area offering our services. It is a commision only job & pays $50 per month per customer (they are in a 12 month contract so you get paid for every month they are with us). We need someone who can get about 10 sponsors minimum a month. So you would be looking at about $500 the first month, $1,000 the second month - and $4K a month coming in by month four if you get the minimum of 10 a month for those 4 months. That is what our goal is :) If your interested please e-mail me at ____@____.com
Again this is an actual job so we need someone who is really looking to work.
THANKS!!
I work with MomsWIN. We are and internet marketing group for a company called Melaleuca. When I started in December, it cost me $125 to start up. I have since MORE than covered what I have spent on this business. It is definately work, not a sit on the couch and get rich scheme. I work about 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week (sometimes 6 if it was a slow week). And so far, with the incentives and bonuses, I have earned an average of $400 a month since December. Check it out:
Hello T.! Congratulations on being a stay at home mom!
I want to share with you my home based business- Southern Living at HOME.

This isn't really work from home, but it might help you bring in some money. I haven't done one of their focus groups yet, but know people who have. They call me all the time, but I work full-time and the dates/times/topics never seem to work for me.
https://db1.schlesingerassociates.com/sch2/PreRInternet.j...
They called me about doing a focus group on grocery purchases, one about IT servers, one about disposable razors and several others. As you can see, the topics are diverse. They generally pay $100-200/session, with sessions usually lasting 1-2 hours.
Hope this helps.

Have you found something to make that extra cash yet? I'm a 26 year old single mom of two kids and I want to be able to provide for and eventually be successful for my kids too.
You obviously like to surf around the internet, you found Mamasource. I work with an internet concept similiar to Amazon. Have you picked up on how huge the internet is going to be? Have you got a way to catch it? Are you familiar with Affiliate Programs? That's what Amazon.com is. One big Affiliate Program.
I have a similiar online mall concept with companies like Barnes & Noble, Disney, Circuit City, Bass Pro Shops, etc. (Too many to list)
It allows me to work from home with potential. So many work from home opportunities have no potential.
I would love to talk more with you about this opportunity. Email me back or call ###-###-#### and we can get together. Good luck with everthing.

I have been a Princess House consultant for 15 years. Like all party plan sales, it's great because you can work around your family schedule. The investment is pretty small, and the training is free. On average, consultants earn $100 per party. Check out my website, and contact me if you are interested in more information.

Hi T. - I completely understand your fear of daycares or even nannys and babysitters. I, too, was bound and determined, no matter what, to be able to stay home with my kids. Jacob will be 3 in Aug. and Joshua will be 1 in Aug. I have also been blessed to have a very supportive husband who works hard to provide for his family. I was looking FOREVER to find that legitimate, work from home job, that would allow me to contibute to the household finances as well as be home with my kids. Last November, my prayers were answered. I became an Arbonne independent consultant. If you have never heard of Arbonne, it is a swiss health and wellness company. Now, I have to tell you that I was first approached to do an Arbonne business in April of last year. However, this person ran her business the traditional way of throwing parties and retailing products. This did not appeal to me. For one, throwing skincare parties can be very time consuming, plus I don't consider myself a salesperson. Then, in November, a completely different method of running an Arbonne business was presented to me. No parties, no direct selling. Not to mention, this method shows people how to advance at a much more rapid pace and start earning more money. Since getting involved, I have met wonderful new people and my confidence has grown tremendously. I now see a future of time and financial freedom that used to only be in my dreams. I would love to share with you how this is working for me and so many others. It may not be a fit for you, but it is definitely worth taking a look at. Hope to hear back from you. If I don't, best wishes in your search.....there's nothing like being home with your kids, and not having that worry about someone else raising them. Blessings, N.
