Blog Carnival
July 25th, 2007 | Posted by Debra Simpson in Blogs and Blogging
I’m participating in a Blog Carnival about why I’m a WAHM (Work At Home Mom). I really don’t refer to myself that way. I used to be a work at home mom in the late ’80s and early ’90s. I cherished the time I was able to work from home while raising my daughter.
I know there are young mothers and fathers struggling to establish their online, or offline, businesses while raising their children. To you, I say, kudos…you’ll never regret the sacrifices you are making today, for your children. When they graduate from high school and move on to college or their first job, you’ll look back and see what a difference it made to stay home with your children.
We have so many opportunities to start great homebased businesses with all the new technology. When I was at home publishing my newspaper I didn’t have any of this. All I have to say is, being homebased and raising our own children is the ONLY way to go. You’ll never, never regret your decision to become a WAHM.
[...] Debra, an ENWAHM (empty nester work at home mom), gives encouragement and support to today’s WAHMS and reminds us of how fortunate we are to have the internet and other business opportunities that didn’t exist even 10 years ago. Visit Debra’s Blog. [...]
Thank you for posting these encouraging words. There are definitely days that are more difficult than others that I need to be reminded that it will all be worth it in the end.
