Well, I’m trying my hand at affiliate marketing again and trying a new angle this time. I must admit that the allure of working hard for a short season and then working maintenance on a network of virtual real estate is a vision of mine. This week I’m promoting a brand-spanking new product [...]

My wife sent me an e-mail this morning with a nice reminder of why I don’t work for someone else any more. There are other aspects to it, which I will discuss in another post. For now, enjoy this re-print of a ‘dear Abby’ letter:
DEAR ABBY: I read an article in our local [...]

How do you strike a balance between work and family, especially when you work from home? In this blog post I will share a few ideas that have worked for me, as well as analyze why it’s so difficult, especially in the case of the work at home parent…
The Problem
From my perspective, the problem [...]

OK, so before I had a list of “resources” … whatever that meant.
I went on a search this evening for the elusive WAHD. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that’s right … in search of the work-at-home dad! It’s fairly easy to find a nice list of SAHDs (stay-at-home dads), but finding the group that [...]

Well, spring break is over for our family. Last week was, to say the least, the most challenging week since I’ve been working from home. While I did start this work from home adventure last June, it was well after school started before I found a regular paying gig that constituted steady work. [...]

OK, it hasn’t been 3 months yet … but almost. I really need to take some time to focus on this blog every once in a while. This is most disgraceful - especially for a self-proclaimed “writer”!
Well, things on the work at home front are going well! I have managed to get [...]

I can’t believe it’s been over three months since I posted on this blog. Wow how time flies when we let it get away from us. Well, can you ever forgive me … if “you” are even out there? I am back now, although I never physically left …

Ever wonder what a day in the life of a SAHD WAHD looks like (OK that acronym wasn’t funny!)? Well, I thought I would share with you what my day was like today. I’m sure that every stay and home dad and work at home dad has a vast and different experience, but [...]

My, my, my … how time flies when you are freelancing! It seems like it was just a few days ago when I posted last to the blog here. I’m really going to have to try harder to stay on top of things here.
I don’t even know where I’ve been since we got [...]

So we celebrated my personal declaration of independence on June 19th, when I submitted my letter of resignation to the tyrannical empire that had enslaved me for the past five years of my life. It was a great day of rejoicing and an immediate release of stress. I finally took the leap of [...]
