Sometimes women who work at home get mistaken for being ‘housewives’. Well, in a way, we are half home makers and half home office women. It doesn’t matter what people say about us as long as we enjoy what we do.
One of the challenges I faced as a work at home mom is to strike a good balance between work and chores and it gets more complicated when little junior returns from school. I am happy to say that I have juggled well after six over years and it does helped when little junior started school too. Since moving to Ozzie land, I have been keeping myself busier with lots of things such as baking and cooking. I absolutely enjoy it! I think I look forward to bake more than sitting in my home office!
It’s school holidays now and I’m keeping little junior busy with some kid games when I’m doing my own stuff. What I like about my current situation is that I can adjust my time and set my priorities according to the situation. However, I’m a little worried that some of my friends who are visiting me think that I have lots of time to take them places when they are here. As much as I would like to be a good host, I do hope that they would be more independent in their travel plans.
It’s time to continue packing for our family trip to the mountains tomorrow… it will be a good break from the home office for sure!

Earlier on, I wrote about buying sites from Flippa and how it has become so popular with those who want to work from home. So instead of starting a site from scratch, you buy an existing profitable site… that’s how easy it is.
Well, few weeks ago, hubby bought a few sites from Flippa and these sites have good stats and google adsense returns. They were working well and everything was looking good. I mean, you can find all kinds of websites for sale everyday from many sites and it takes time to find one you like before you decide to bid for it. Whether you are keen on credit or payday loans, many internet marketers know that these sites fetch high adsense clicks and thus, people develop sites like these to make money.
But like they always say, people learn from mistakes. For us, we choose to work at home as online and internet marketers so we are ready to learn and explore. So the setback came when we found out that the sites we bought were badly manipulated with invalid clicks and we all know that this is a big no-no if you are an adsense publisher. Your adsense account can be disabled when you violate these policies. When we found out, we quickly remove all codes from the sites since they aren’t as legit as we thought.
Since, we had learned that sites that promise such good returns tend to be suspicious and most legit sites are normally sold at a higher price if they are fetching good monetary returns. While this setback doesn’t dampen our continuation to work from home, we will be more careful next time when we buy any sites.
