Stay At Home Mom’s Guide
If you are thinking about becoming a SAHM there are a few
things to be considered. Most moms would tell you it can be a
thankless job but it is also a warding one! Most moms would not
trade staying home and being “their kids mom” for all of the
riches in the world.
1. Your
family comes first but don’t isolate yourself. Find time
for a girl’s day out, work outs at the gym, and an occasional
lunch with friends. Organize a play group with friends that
have kids the same age. You’ll find this a healthy activity
time for you and the kids.
2. When someone asks you what you do, take pride
in the most important CEO position in the world, “your kid’s
mom.” Don’t discount the importance of your job. Take pride
in being a
SAHM. Your children are only small once.
3.
Develop a schedule and calendar to organize you and your
family’s daily activities. As a
stay at home mom you will find that everyone will expect you
to volunteer for fundraisers and events. As a result you could
find yourself running ragged and not having the time for your
family that you had intended. Guard your time and stay
organized.
4. It’s tough to live on one income, so you may find
it necessary to develop
income from home. You can have the best of all worlds.
Make a list of your talents, abilities, and what you would enjoy
doing. Thousands of moms work part time and even full time at
home while raising their children.
5. Learn how to cut a few corners and clip
coupons. You will find a great coupon resource at

from scratch will always save money in the household budget.
Using crock pot recipes and making soups from scratch are big
budget stretchers. When you make a pot of soup, make enough for
two or three meals. Learn to love leftovers and never let
anything go to waist. Find the local up scale resale shops.
You will find that many of these shops sell “like new” clothing
for women and children that you can purchase for pennies on the
dollar! When your best friend complements you on how hot you
look you will feel so smart!
If being a stay at home mom is a priority these important
tips will make a difference.
