Hi Jenners,
Another post from me! I am back to work this week. On my bike to work the first day, I kept having the feeling that I forgot the kids! I do like the intellectual stimulation I get from work, as well as the break from the kids. I loved being home with them for three weeks, but I think if I was home with them full time I would need to incorporate a little more time by myself. How do you manage that aspect as a stay at home mom?
One thing I really would like to try is creating a travel blog. There are good blog posts here about how this woman increased her audience to 100,000 page views per month and here about how to use find and use keywords. Having a blog would definitely be work, but I like that I could do it from anywhere, and I wouldn’t have to work on it full time. I do not need to make a full-time income from my blog, my goal would be to make about $1000 per month, which I think is totally do-able.
Murr and I have been obsessing slightly about the own and build vs. sell and rent question. Lately we like the idea of selling our current house and renting. We like the idea of not having to spend weekends doing house maintenance. Murray especially gets stressed out by all the little things to do with the house. So this week we are thinking that selling and renting may work best. I also like the idea that we could take off for a year and not have any expenses at home, which is still something I dream about doing. Although I also like the idea of the kids coming back to our same house, and we really love our neighbours, so I go back and forth about this question...
Anyway, that was a bit random!
love,
anne
