I will actually find myself a SAHM for the first time in Feb. 2012 due to my company moving my department across the state, and I'm not following it. It's good in a way, because my baby will be born in early Feb. so I will get to be a SAHM with the baby and my (then) 6 year old son for the first time, and that excites me.
On the other hand, I am just beginning the process of "what do I do - find another professional/career job? do something less professional, possibly part-time just to supplement our household income? work from home?" So I am looking into any and all possibilities at this point. I think that ideally, I'd like to work either part-time away from home, or work from home, preferably doing something I enjoy on either front. I really don't favor the idea of going to work full time... I am hoping that we can work out our budget so that I don't have to, and I feel confident (at least at this point) that we can do that.
I'd love to hear about things that others have done to generate income while staying at home, or working part-time. I know questions get asked on this site all the time about how to make money from home, but I never really see any ideas that are good fits for me... naturally, I want something legitimate, and so often, the work-at-home ideas are a little shady...
