Worked full-time with my first daughter then downsized in order to stay home with her, and launched a home-based marketing consulting business on the side. The transition from work-outside-the-home mom to work-at-home mom took a good six months or so. Redefining my definition of success and my sense of self took longer. By chance I connected with a group of like-minded moms who'd voluntarily left the workforce for similar reasons. They kept me sane during those early days when my kids were younger, and I craved adult conversation rather than another episode of Barney, and I questioned my decision to stay home. Though many have moved on as our kids have grown, a handful of us remain close friends.Kim Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455032317518704737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189266.post-1130248195087497072005-10-25T08:49:00.000-05:002005-10-25T08:49:00.000-05:002 pages a day sounds a good plan.

Personally I left my part-time job six months ago and although had planned to write from home am finding it increasingly difficult to find the time/motivation with a toddler at home and another child on the way. Anyone who can do it - especially with children around (and with all the extra stresses you must be going through) deserves to be praised and admired aplenty.Writing Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280549558965683178noreply@blogger.com
