10 AWESOME BENEFITS OF WORKING FROM HOME (FOR MOMS)

Of all the unpredicted twists and turns my life has taken, being a work at home mom is perhaps the most surprising.  Not that I didn’t always dream of having a stay at home mom job – because I did.

So it wasn’t that it happened that was shocking. The unpredictable thing, I think, is just HOW AWESOME it is to work AND still get to be a stay at home mom. The benefits of working from home for moms turned out to be beyond my wildest dreams.

I recently saw this baffling article about how being a WAHM (work at home mom) was “actually the worst”. Sometime you just read things that make you go… “What now?!” Becuase I think being a WAHM is actually THE BEST EVER. I mean, SURE there are downsides.

We NEVER have rushed or stressed mornings. We sleep in. We start the day snuggling on the couch – we watch a couple of episodes of whatever the “favorite” TV show is this month, and we eat breakfast. We get dressed and talk about our upcoming day. Sometimes we play blocks.

THE MOST OBVIOUS BENEFIT OF WORKING FROM FOR MOMS IS THE TIME YOU GET TO SPEND WITH YOUR KIDS

Sure, I spend a little on a baby sitter a couple times per week so I can have dedicated work time… but it’s a fraction of what I would spend if I had full-time childcare.

THE DIRECTLY RELATED BENEFIT, OF COURSE, IS THE PILE OF MONEY YOU SAVE ON CHILDCARE

We save a ton of wear and tear on our vehicle (and gas) now that I’m not driving half an hour each way to work anymore. I also don’t buy lunch as often or spend much at all on dress pants.

IT ALSO SAVES MONEY ON THE COMMUTE (AND OTHER “WORK-RELATED” COSTS)

I wouldn’t have believed this in a million years, so if you feel like I’m obviously mistaken, I can understand where you’re coming from.

IT GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MORE MONEY THAN YOU DID BEFORE
