"I wanted to work from home ever since I had my first child. I spend hours upon hours researching work form home jobs and work from home opportunities. I also invested in work from home books and work from home teaching manuals. After trying several work from home jobs and a couple different work from home opportunities I was able to find the perfect work from home position. I worked for a year at my work from home position before I was able to give my husband the great news. I told him that he could quit his job and I could fully support our family. He was shocked. 
 
I was a stay at home mom with 2 young children that I love with all my heart. My husband worked construction in the city about an hour and a half from our home. We had a simple life living paycheck to paycheck. I had read about working from home before I got married and always dreamed of how nice it would be to have everyone at home with me.
 
One day while I was surfing the web, I found an ad for a work a home opportunity. I decided to give it a go and set aside several hours a day to finding the best work at home career for my family. I tried several different work at home opportunities until I found the right one. After just a year I was able to replace my skeptical husband's income, and then double it.
 
My husband had been working as a union carpenter. He commuted around 3 hours per day and hated his job. He paid $20 per day to park and spent a small fortune in gas. He worked in the filthiest conditions, remodeling old buildings where giant rats made their home. 
 
Now we work together to increase our income from home while enjoying watching our children grow up. Times are tough sometimes, we still have to work and it is difficult to focus when you have little ones running around constantly asking for something or fighting over the same toy. I am not complaining though, my life is wonderful, and we are very blessed. I just wanted everyone to know that there are some difficulties to staying at home. But over all having a standard 9 to 5 outside of the home could never compare to working from home."
