I've been trying to find ways to monetize my blog for almost a year. So far, I've generated the big fat ZERO :D I have been staying away from Adsense and things like that, but I did put some selected Amazon ads on my site - mostly books. Your idea for a book review was an inspiration. I think most homeschool moms want to find a way to contribute financial to the home. Maybe its the supermom complex, maybe its the need to afford curriculum and field trips, what ever the reason, follow your talents and dreams! Thanks for the ideas.

This woman probably sought balance, just as we do. Her hands were involved in many things, but her heart firmly focused on her family. Thanks for sharing Ruth Smith's words. They exhibit strength and peace I need right now. I look forward to reading about your time at the conference. Shannon,

I have to be careful to guard my time and not devote time that is for my family to it. Then there are some months I feel I need to do my biz more. A SAHM has a lot on her mind and plate!! I think that Prov 31 woman was in the retirement years, I don't think she had small children or teens in her home when she did all those things. Ruth Smith said this week, be good to yourself. Though she was talking about grading, I think it applies to all we do a moms. I do have a NWM biz that does help out with small bills (well, more in our health than pocketbooks).

My worth has greatly increased over the years. I remember when they said a "housewife" was worth $50,000 a year. Yea, I know, I'm just an old mama. AND a good part of that increase is probably because moms didn't do NEAR the taxi service back then. Children didn't go out on their own so much, and when they did they had to walk. But that may be balanced out by the fact that moms also made most of the meals at home - from scratch. Yep, I'm that old. And thanks. I'm glad to hear you don't love cleaning :-) Whoo-hoo!
