Work at Home?

I am a teacher, therefore there are periods of the year in which I have extra time on my hands.   Recently I've had a lot more freed up time as I'm done doing work for my Masters program.     Enter huge sigh of relief.

That free time, while it may not be a lot, it is still time I would like to consider productive.   I recently delved into the world of article writing.   So far I've written six articles for a fantastic website all based on education.

This has given us a bit of extra money to put towards the random things that come up around the house.   These articles are based on my full time job, teaching art.


 I've also been looking into other ways to make a bit of extra cash on the side and have found myself addicted to Varagesale.   Buying and selling things around the house for the boys has become a little hobby of mine.  

The other day I found 8 pairs of pants, and 8 shirts that fit H for five bucks!  What a deal, especially for a little boy who just destroys clothes.  



Keeping myself at home with the boys, while generating extra income is ideal.  The blogosphere has many great ideas, yet I find myself worrying about the legitimacy of these opportunities as many of them are scams.


Someone has to stick around to wrangle these little monsters!  Have any of you found legitimate ways to boost your income while at home?

Back again?

Back on the Bloggy train.  My how things have changed.  My sweet family welcomed another joyous boy into our clan.  My last cryptic post was regarding the news we found out we were pregnant.   

Thomas and Harrison have become the joys of our lives.  It is amazing seeing two brothers play, and love on one another.

Grad School is over, HURRAH!   I officially hold my masters of arts in teaching.  I am grateful it is over now as I would never have the time to do it now with two active boys.  It was hard enough to finish with a three year old and two week for my last six week course.

Harrison has grown, his vocabulary has expanded, and motherhood has become harder.   How simple it was with one child, and how complex it has become with two.

Balance, and Patience have become my center focus as I seem to have little of both.  
 Sweet Thomas is almost walking at 11 months old, and he truly brings such sweetness to our lives.

 Harrison has entered the 'terrible threes' but man is he cute as ever!

To a renewed focus!
