I’ve been a full-time work-at-home mom (WAHM) for 3 years now and I’m happy I chose this path despite the many challenges I encounter every week just to meet my 40-hr per week work load. I’ve been sometimes thinking what it feels like to have a stay-in househelp to do the cleaning, cooking and other things I need a hand on. But hubby and I have our reasons not to get one (for now) as long as we can still manage the house.
A number of my friends are working moms who also want to be a WAHM at the back of their minds but still have hesitations. Switching from office working mom to WAHM is honestly a big leap and risk especially if husband and wife both need to earn income for the family. There will always be a challenging transition but taking one step at a time is better than not having one.
So now, I’m sharing with you one of the workshops I attended while already a work-at-home mom. I wanted to know more and meet other moms who have been working from home for years and build a network.
This workshop inspired me to thrive more and stick to my goal of being a hands-on mom, being there to witness my daughter’s milestones and at the same time earning from home. I highly recommed wanna-be WAHMs to attend this to know that yes…it is possible to work from home and be with your kid/s.

Thank you, Erl!! I hope you get to go on the 28th. You have an inspiring journey as a WAHM, and meeting other WAHMS will, I am sure, inspire others.
Hi Martine!
I’ll check my family’s schedule 🙂
I have been encouraging my friends to work-at-home but most of their hesitations are the high salary and benefits (especially medical) they already got in their current work. They have fears that if they would take the risk, they won’t be able to sustain their family expenses or they won’t find a work that gives them the same income they have now.
Hopefully, your workshops will open up mommies’ minds and let go of their fears 🙂
Hi sis Erlaine, I got here from N@W 🙂 This seems to be an interesting workshop sayang I’m not a mom yet. I definitely would want to learn about working at home especially when magkaanak na kami.
Hi Lea! Thanks for dropping by 🙂 Maybe you could email Martine to ask if soon-to-be moms are welcome in the workshop. See you in n@w!
