Welcome To the Carnival for Stay At Home Moms

by

Welcome to the August 27, 2007 edition of Carnival of SAHMs here at Mom Is Teaching. Many homeschooling families do so by having one parent stay home with the children full time, and most of them are the mothers. Because of this help for stay at home moms is important for homeschooling families. I hope you will find lots of tips and advice here to help you out.

We like to go to school in our pajamas, but Millionaire Mommy Next Door has an even better idea. Check out How I Became a Millionaire While Working In My Pajamas posted at Millionaire Mommy Next Door, saying, “From minimum wage to millionaire, here’s the story of my entrepreneurial journey.”

Believe it or not there are some single moms out there who manage to stay home and homeschool. But no matter how single mothers choose to raise their children they all need support. Amanda Harris shares a great resource for that support Single Moms posted at Pajama Mommy.

We could all use some great hints to help us get through the day. Annette Berlin shares some in Mary Ellen’s Best of Helpful Hints posted at Frugal Journey, saying, “As part of an ongoing effort to pare down my belongings, I was going through an old box of books the other day. Among the out-of-style craft books and boring cookbooks, I found an old torn up copy of Mary Ellen’s Best Of Helpful Hints.”

I’ll admit it, I’m a clutter junkie. I jsut cannot seem to keep my house clutter free no matter what I try. Luckily Julie Bonner has the answer in Top 5 Tips to Make This an Organized School Year posted at Declutter It!, saying, “Getting back into the groove of the school year can be tough. Starting it out in an organized way can help things go a little more smoothly.”

They say we learn the best when we’re having fun. So how about a little fun poetry to help sink in an important lesson?Alta presents Not NASCAR posted at Love Country Living.

Being a stay at home mom means budgeting your money wisely. When you do get a little extra to splurge don’t waste it on something you’ll regret. Stephanie has one helpful solution on Don’t Waste Your Time or Money on Bad Movies posted at Stop the Ride!.

Aranchnophobia? Texas is not for wimps. posted at Life in a shoe: the methods and madness of one mother of 8, saying, “We all have days like this every now and then…or am I fooling myself?

What’s my nightmare? Taking the boys to the store when I absolutely have to and they really shouldn’t be in public. Stephanie knows what I’m talking about, and she has a plan. Running Errands with Kids posted at Adventures in the 100 Acre Wood.
