My husband and I each have a home based business.

You can email me back at ____@____.com

or call me at ###-###-#### and I can tell you about both of them and see if either one sounds fun to you.

Either one requires stocking or delivering a product!

I know my business allowed me to stay home all last year to keep my youngest grandaughter out of day care.

I understand you wanting to be there.

We have sooooo many successful moms in this, it is not even funny.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I have been secret shopping for about a year. I don't make enough to live off but I do make enough to supplement my husband's income. I substitute teach during the school year but then I am a stay at home mom during the summer.

Check out these websites: www.shopnchek.com, www.secretshopper.com (or could be .net; I have them bookmarked so I'm not totally sure of the end of the website). These are a good place to start. You'll need to sign up with these companies before you can shop for them. You could also google companies that have secret shopper positions.

Good luck.

R., I have a friend who was a mystery shopper, and I can tell you - only do it if you love shopping. She made very little money at it, and the work wasn't steady.

On the other hand, if you can get a business going as a personal shopper - shopping for people who don't have time to do it themselves - you can make a nice amount of money. You can charge by your time, or by the day. This service is usually used only by people with a lot of discretionary income, so you might want to advertise to doctors, law offices, etc. I googled "become a personal shopper" and got a lot of hits. Here's one article that looked interesting: http://www.entrepreneur.com/interstitial/Ent_Interstitial...

My mother has just joined a direct Sales company called Signature Homestyles. They sell lovely home decor. You can get started for only $25 out of pocket right now! And YOU do YOUR OWN scheduling, so you only work when YOU want to! And their products are lovely! And with my experience, home decor sells alot better than makeup or jewelry products (from Direct Sales). Hope you find something you enjoy, and that makes you money!
