Hello everyone! My name is Sara and I am a mother of two, and also a stepmother to one! I have my two children full time and my step daughter is in my care every other week. Just to give you a little background information, my husband has a decent job. Great benefits and great if not excellent pay - unfortunately solely it's still not quite enough for a family as large as ours to live off of- especially living in the Bay Area of California! Like many moms I felt SO torn. I was working a full time office job at a company I didn't felt deserved me - especially in comparision to my own children. After adding up what I was paying in child care - not including gas, lunches, work clothes and so on - basically what it came down to was that I was working to work! All but a few hundred dollars of my income went to daycare costs! I couldn't believe it. On top of that I felt more and more awful about leaving my children. I'm not someone who thinks all women should be at home - but for me personally, it's something I always felt I wanted. Eventually feeling so bad about the situation I feel into a depression and that's when my husband and I decided to try things out with me being a stay at home mom. To bring in some money I started watching a few kids full time for my friends. It was great, I couldn't believe I could make the same amount of money (actually added up to more!) by working from my home. However, after a while for one reason or another I lost kids. Out of the three I had, one moved, one got a divorce (which forced her to move in with her parents for a while, and her parents were able to watch her son) and I was left with only one. So I began to look into more ways to make money. Every 'at home business' I found advertised was - well, to put it bluntly, full of bull! Every one required a HUGE amount of money to begin - and that was just to get the information on how to begin a business they refused to tell you much about. Then one day, while talking to a friend I heard about a business called Passion Parties. Most of you have probably been to these. It's where usually a bunch of girls get together, and a Passion Consultant comes in and tells you about bedroom novilities. Things as mild as lotions and body scrubs, to as wild as vibrators and so on. Looking more into the business I found it to be very legit. I attended a few of their meetings just to see what they were about and if their consultants were really making the money they claimed to be. They're also a company that required VERY little investment (which was VERY important to me since I was already on a limited income) - I spent $250 on a kit (there are smaller ones available) that I will be able to use over and over again. My profit is 40% of sales, and it's money I get to keep right away. NO more waiting for the check to arrive in the mail. Being that I am a WAHM/SAHM I wanted to start looking for message boards where I could not only talk to women who understood my situation, but also I felt it was important that I shared what worked for me. If someone had told me it would be this easy I don't think I would have waited to fall into a depression to make it happen. For those of you that LONG to stay home and think you can't afford it, this may be something you want to look into. Even if the $250 kit is to much for you, and believe me, I understand fully how that is, I have learned since becoming a consultant myself, of ways to get around it. Mostly I'm here to make friends and chat but on the slim chance you're interested in what I'm doing and would like more information you can email me at PassionEssentials@yahoo.com.
I wish all of you the VERY best of luck.
