I considered returning to teaching, but the task of re-certifying each time we moved to a new state and the drop and salary were discouraging. Besides, we were hoping to start a family soon. I wondered if, perhaps, there was another way.<br /><br />Five years, a baby with a heart defect, a deployment (for my husband), and many writing gigs (some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">long term</span>, some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">short term</span>, some by the piece) later, I can tell you it is possible to be very successful working from home.<br /><br />This site is not about gimmicks. It is not about scams. It is about how I, and others like me, have found a way to stay home while still making money and having professional fulfillment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1775893671863443378-2635402048979992820?l=wahmbam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Candace Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05888447703056321730noreply@blogger.com0
