Grace for Every Mom

So my husband just started a new job which involves a LOT of travel. He is working on the conveyer systems and ovens and such for bakeries. Right now, we are in Four Oaks, North Carolina. I must say that this place seems to be agreeing with me so far. It has been overcast a lot since we have been here. That's great news for me since the sun breaks me out in huge, red, itchy hives. The weather is a little cooler here, too....awesome! I have my computer and plenty of work to keep me busy thanks to WCP and freelance article writing. I'm not even all that homesick. We also travel with my parents, which means that, no matter where we go, I know at least 2 people. My life still seems to be coming together in all the right places.

I also needed it to be something I could do from where ever I happened to be at the time. Well, after months of looking for it, I found just such a job! I say "months", but it was closer to a year. Have you ever had a period of time in your life when it just seemed like everything was working out the way it needed to without much pushing or shoving from you? I seem to be in the middle of one of those times. Okay, so now that I have grabbed your curiosity, let me tell you what my new job is, (drum-roll, please), I am officially an editor for a publishi...

Most people think it would be awesome to work from home. I am one of those people. However, you MUST have abundant time, patience, and faith. You also have to exercise a great amount of caution when investigating work from home opportunities. Let's face it, there are a lot of people out there on the World Wide Web who make a living by taking advantage of people like us. You can make money doing affiliate marketing. Running a search for 'affiliate marketing' and you will find several companies who participate in this type of opportunity. You basically put a widget on your blog offering merchandise that is relevant to your topic or topics, advertise to get traffic to the blog and when someone clicks the company widget and makes a purchase, you get a commission. I chose to try my hand at freelance writing. There are several legitimate sites that you can go to and apply for a position to write for them. The downside to that is that if you are a beginner, you won't get paid ...
