By the time baby arrives, it's a bit too late to consider how to save enough money to be able to stay home with the new family member. Most new moms, if they have taken a leave from work, have taken an unpaid leave of absence. After that bundle of joy arrives, they often realize that the six weeks or six months with the new baby just will not be enough time.
If you are a mom, then you already have a full time job with an endless amount of overtime hours. Even with all of the responsibilities that being a mom includes, some women decide to be a stay at home mom with a home business. This can be a very rewarding adventure and allows some additional cash flow into the household.
