Hello to all of the great moms on this website that I love. Well moms I have a question. I am a 34 yr old soon-to-be mom and I will be on leave from my place of employment for about 6 months after I give birth and I need a source of income for that time. I have searched on the internet and all that I find is garbage. Either the stay-at-home jobs are schemes or just plain shady.

Can anyone give me advice as to what is the best option for stay-at-home work that can replace a salary?

I appreciate all of your advice ahead of time.

Please visit www.dsa.org to learn about home-based businesses that are legitimate. Discovery Toys is one of those. I have been with them for 15 years and stayed home with my child from the beginning. I feel so lucky! I'd be happy to help you set up a plan that would help you replace your salary (unless you were earning 6 figures, in which case I can't promise you that in 6 months). Much depends on how many hours a week you can work and what your past life experiences have been. Some people come to the table with all sorts of corporate contacts, while others know just a few mommies. Who you know and what you know will shape your business. Something special about this company is that it is totally family-friendly with a product line based on helping children learn while they play. You will earn while you play with your baby and help other parents to do the same. Visit me at www.toysofdiscovery.com

Hi. Congratulations on your baby!

I was somewhat skeptical about a home-based business, until I found what I am doing now. It is in the world's largest industry - travel, and I LOVE it. It has enabled our family to take great 5 star vacations at 2 star prices, and we have a perk of being able to travel for free, too, with the way their compensation plan works.

I got the small amount I invested back within 2 months, doing this part-time, I have no fees, or monthly quotas, no inventory, etc. And my kids love what I'm doing, too, so it has become a family business.

It is not a scheme, and is totally legit. You could be making a nice residual income within the six months you are at home that could turn in to a way where you can stay at home, full-time. Many moms have done this with what I am doing.

If you'd like more info, shoot me an e-mail or call me.

It depends on if you want to work from home or just make extra money. It is very hard to find a work from home gig. Generally these kind of jobs are offered to people who ALREADY are employed by the company. They just can do the same job from home. You might look into medical transcription or coding (classes are offered at community colleges), but if you are only wanting to "fill the gap", then you probably wouldn't want to take the time.
There are PLENTY of selling jobs. If you want, I'd be happy to talk your ear off about Tupperware. But in all honesty, you are probably not going to have the energy or will to work for that brief time.
My advice: Enjoy your time off. Save up now so that you can at least not worry about bills. Start living more frugally now so that it won't be a shock later.
Good Luck!
