The Need for Stay at Home Work

Before the modernization of culture, families ran farms or stores. Children grew up in the family work environment and were usually trained in that family skill. It was a beautiful system for the parent and child relationship, but it did have its limitations for the advancement of technology and progress.

As men headed off into a work force away from their families. Women inherited all the child rearing duties and often lost influence over tasks beyond their home.

Women have a need to be productive and useful in society beyond the walls of their home, although many feel that their primary duty and ministry is to their children. Every woman has gifts and talents that ache to be let loose on the world.

The internet is in many ways a blessing to these women. It provides an outlet to the world and a place for women to use thier skills and showcase their talents. If a woman can fins a way to bring additional income into her family in the process, then the internet becomes more than a blessing.....it becomes a miracle in her life.

The Web Doesn't Sleep- Should I?

How much should one work when building a business? This is hard for me to determine. Part of the goal of a home business is to actually have some time to spend with your family....doing family things. It seems that lately my family is living around me while I am glued to the computer. How much is too much?

The process of ironing out time limits for your work day must happen or burn out will. My newest thought is that I need to create a schedule and work during "work hours" and then shut this computer down.

Spinning Plates on Sticks

Balancing all of your chores and responsibilities in life feels a bit like that circus act where the man keeps all of the plates spinning on tall sticks. You just know that one of them is going to fall. If if they are not falling then some plates are awfully wobbly.

As a business mom from home, I feel like the plate spinner with all of my plates in some state of wobble. If I get one area of my life running smoothly the rest seems to fall apart. Business, homekeeping, child care, family time, maintaining a healthy body. There just is not enough time in the day.

All I can do is trust that if I am not spinning a certain plate fast enough that God is there right behind me, making sure that the plate doesn't fall.
