My first post!

Welcome to my brand new blog. I started this to help keep track of my progress as I work from home. I have been working from home part time for around 6 months now, but would like to slowly progress it to a full time thing. As of right now, my goal income is $1000 per month. While it isn't a whole lot, it will cover the majority of my household bills (my husband will work to cover the rest outside of the house) as well as build up some savings.

To introduce myself a bit I will state a bit about myself. I have a work-at-home mom of 2 wonderful children and have another due in September. I am very happily married to a great guy who works hard to provide for the family and is hoping to start his own business in the next year. That is actually part of why I want to start upping what I can make from home to help ease the transition when his business first starts up.

I am very thankful that I have been able to find opportunities to work at home. I love that I can spend everyday with my children and still be able to provide for them financially.

Currently, I have a part time job as a Virtual Assistant with a great company and work with some really great clients. In total, I work about 10-15 hours per week and this is where the majority of my income comes from. Just this month, I have added writing to my list of gigs. I mainly write for Textbroker, but am trying to expand to other places as well. I also do surveys for a great company, PineCone Research, and some other odds and ends for various places. In addition to all of that, just this month I have picked up a private client and edit articles.

In addition to helping me keep accountable and keep track of my earnings, I plan on writing about various work at home opportunities to help others who wish to work at home.
