“We can’t afford for me to stay home with the kids”
One of the obsticles to homeschooling is that it often requires one parent to stay home and cuts the family income in half. In today’s society with high prices and low wages that can be the coffin nail to any ideas of homeschooling. Many parents are looking for ways to supliment their income from the comfort of their own home and without taking away hours that should be spent with their children. Luckily, if you are creative and resourceful there are many ways you can earn extra income each month.

Earlier today I read a great post from another great homeschooling blog about ways to increase your earnings. I have to admit, the idea is so simple I’m a bit embarassed that I never thought of it before. Read A way to increase your income while homeschooling by Serious Learning. You’ll be glad that you did.

I just wanted to say that it IS possible. I’m a single mom working as a freelance writer from home. I love our life. We may not be rich in the sense of having things but we are rich in other ways. My dd and I have a great relationship and I am able to support us.
