5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Writing (and Owning Your Own Business)

Tagged With:

There was a discussion on Twitter recently by The Mom Writes.  She posted the following: "Being a WAHM (work-at-home mom) is _____" We'll of course I had to answer, so I wrote: "crazy, absolutely crazy, but I love it!" It's true, being a WAHM, owning your own business, writing science curriculum, and homeschooling your children is crazy.  Some days I want to pull every hair on my head … [Read more...]

You may see tufts of hair on a fence post or tree branch.  You may see crushed grass or leaves from where the animals have bedded down for the night.  And, if your really lucky, you might even see some scat!
