I’ll be the first to tell you that nothing is as wonderful as staying at home with your kids. I’ll also be the first to tell you that nothing is as wonderful as making your own money, on your own terms, doing what you love.
And as luck would have it, you can actually do all of these things at the exact same time. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s totally achievable. You just start by making money from your hobbies!
I have not one, but two hobbies that make me money while still being a stay-at-home mom. Neither interferes with taking care of my kids. In fact, often, they’re a welcome, if not necessary part of it. But most importantly, these hobbies (both of which have the potential to become full-blown careers) provide me with more mental stimulation than I ever got in a 9-5 office setting. They also give me something to talk about with my husband that doesn’t revolve around our kids or household. And of course, they make me money, which means much more than just the extra cash around the house.
So if you’re feeling the pull to go back to work, but also have a big case of mom guilt, consider some of these hobbies that may be able to give you the best of both worlds!
