How to Quit Your Job and Work from Home
I get asked this question all the time, and understandably so. These days, working from home is no longer an exception to the rule but a realistic and viable option, you just have to know where to find opportunities and how to set yourself up for it.

Investing in Good Children’s Books
Just the other week I had a random chat with Paula about how hard it is to find good children’s books in this side of the world. And by “good children’s books” I mean ones that have great illustration, age-appropriate storytelling, preferably not based on popular cartoon characters, content that sparks creativity and opens a child’s eyes to the world, and stories that parents will enjoy themselves. ;)
Avon’s Pink Lipstick Collection
As a mom who works from home, you’d be surprised at the amount of lipsticks I spend money on. “It’s an investment, babe”, I half-jokingly say to my husband, who gladly supports my splurges anyway. (Note: Find a man who supports your weird and sometimes unnecessary obsessions, lol.)
