When it comes to work life balance, I tend to focus more on the life part than the work part because I’m so focused on trying to build a business around my life, instead of a life around my business. However, I would be doing you all a disservice if I didn’t share resources to [...]

I have to admit I’m a little behind the times when it comes to blogging . . . and well fashion and hairstyles, but I digress. I just came back from the BlogWorldExpo and I’m convinced I’m the only blogger on the planet who doesn’t own a laptop. However, I learned from a few of [...]

As you all know, this blog is part of the incredible Sparkplugging blog network (formerly eMomsatHome.com) that Wendy Piersall created to educate, encourage and support self-employed business owners who work at home.
