Budget. My husband is salary and makes alright money, he installs doors that require key cards to open them. It's enough to get us by.. we just make it work..

My first daughter was born in 2020 so at my last job I had been working from home. Then beginning of 2021, they wanted us to start going in person a few days and I didn't have a stable sitter for my daughter, so I had to quit. I was looking for a full-time work from home job and my mom who had been terminally ill for years passed away. My mom had a life insurance policy and while it wasn't a ton of money and was split with my two brothers, it's helped with me being able to stay home.

I work from home! We decided on that before we decided to have kids. I’d love to just be a SAHM, but my income helps 💚

Learned how to use social media to make an income! Once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty simple. A one income household with three kids just wasn’t an option for us. Plus it gives me an outlet/something for myself besides just mom-ing it all the time!

may I ask what your job is? I’m trying to find something remote!

Can you send me info on how you do it? I really wanna drop the 9-5 aspect and be able to work whenever, with the freedom to work from the playground or the library (on baby excursions)

of course! It didn’t happen overnight of course but I can share the tips that I’ve learned along the way!

My husband is a mechanic, i was going to go back to work after our second child but our second child turned out to be twins and daycare for 3 was more than my paycheck 🤷♀️

Budget budget budget, and stick to it! My husband is in biotech so he does well, but a budget is still the key to making ends meet and being able to do things with our LO!
could you send me some info as well! I already spend a lot of time on social media it would be great to monetize it!

I’m also interested in learning some social media monetization tips and tricks. Btw you and your family are beautiful!
