Let's get this forum moving again. Surely I'm not the only WAHM on Amity's?

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do for work?

I'm not currently working--my class got cancelled due to low enrollment, but will be teaching online again beginning the first of March.

I work part-time as a Technical Editor/Writer for a church organization. It's great...everything is emailed back and forth, some phone time, and once-a-year face-to-face staff meeting!

I am a WAHM

I teach a morning preschool program four mornings a week at my home.

joli · 01-19-2009, 05:29 PM

I'm around

Currently I am working in a bunch of different jobs
AmityMama.com
Labor Doula- I'm still in the certification process, but I am officially working now.
Teaching- I am teaching sewing at a fabric shop one day a month for now and a homeschool class for 6-10's once per week

I like that all of them are flexible, but obviously the doula part has to be prioritized for time-sensitive meetings, appointments and of course births! The teaching is something I didn't know I would like but it turns out I really do. And this place, well, I still need B for the technical stuff but I'm learning more every month.

I'm here. Running my Slumber Parties business as always, but focusing on kicking the business up a notch this year, after a rough 2008 medical wise.

So, I posted this and then got pretty busy and never got back to post mine!

I'm glad I have company.

I was doing some out of the home work/travel for my PT job but just resigned my position and am relieved to be working completely from home now. I do a variety of freelance writing work from magazines to work for hire. It keeps me employed FT, which is a good thing.

I found this source. I love Kiplinger's so I'm banking on it being a good one:

I totally posted that on the wrong thread... I just reposted it on the right one.

I've been doing some article writing since July... now it's pretty regular, and the money I'm making is not bad!

Nice! Where are your articles published?

I'm still crafting and selling on line. I'm still humbled after all these years by my customers.

CPSIA is a threat of course but the kits that were a back-burner project last year are being moved to the front. I already did testing on my "technical" writing and thrilled that there was 100% success on the first go 'round.

I'm really trying to make lemonade here.

Since my DH started working solo, I'm doing a lot of stuff for his business. Mostly administrative stuff, but some writing as well. I'll eventually move to the office on occasion, likely bringing the kids with us, so I can do some paralegal work when the times comes. But, for now I can manage doing it from here.

I'm also writing again. It took me a long time to come back to it and I'm kind of re-learning the trade - throwing out my inhibitions and seeing where it takes me.

Dannielle · 01-27-2009, 03:10 PM

WAHM'ing here, too. I've been working my business as a full time job since this past Sept.

I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so I actually can't tell you!

They're ghostwritten, so I do'nt get the "fame" credit, only the payment.

Some day I'll have my own bylines!
