Decision finally made...

For the time being, my hubby and I both came to the decision that being a stay at home mom would be best for our kids. Im still going to keep going to school but until then the plan is for me to stay at home with our lil clan. I am thinking of putting my schooling to use though and maybe create a little catering business using my baking creations.

It's very rewarding being a stay at home mum that's for sure. It can be very financially difficult but I woildnt have it any other way. I'm lucky we get a decent payment from the government to help out. But even if we weren't the child care here is so expensive even if I was to go back.to work my whole pay would be gone in childcare bills. I'm going to look into work from home options too. Goodluck with your little baking creations. I like the idea. :)

That's wonderful! I stayed home for 18 months after my second child and loved it. Really wish I could stay home that long with Genevieve but I'll get to bring her to work with me and that's the next best thing.
