My first step into the work-at-home world was as a data extractor for a company in my local area. Believe it or not, I found that job in the Classified Ads section of the newspaper. That, however, was ten years ago. Alot has changed in the last ten years - the internet alone has grown by l…

I
love reading the stories of other moms' success. I love to hear how they got started, how they've built their businesses and what they wish they would have known when they started out. There's nothing more powerful - or more encouraging - than a behind the scenes look at a fellow successful mom.
So, today I thought I'd share with you one of those stories. I've known Megan for a while now. She's a professional organizer and now writes an organizational column for work-at-home moms on CW…

Owning my own business has taught me many things about myself. I’ve learned that I can make wise business decisions, I can manage the accounts and taxes for my company, and I can type with one hand while holding a sleeping 6 month old. All of these things have helped me develop into a mu…

There are many nights that I lay awake long after my husband begins snoring lightly beside me. My mind whirls as I think of all the ways I’ve failed that day. Phone calls and emails that didn’t get returned; laundry that didn’t make it from the basket to the dr…

As a Christian in business, I am bound to a different set of principles compared to those of a traditional business owner. For example, my mission statement, the vision for my company, and company name and/or company description all has a biblical foundation. Other business owners may be money, power, or…

As Christians our faith is part of everything that we do and say. But, that can sometimes feel confusing when trying to apply it to our business life. How can we incorporate our faith into our businesses and share it with those we want to sell to? I wanted to get an…

In the weeks and months after having my first child I began to realize all of the ways that she had changed my life. Not only was I perpetually exhausted, but I seemed to get very little done during the day - even showering was an accomplishment. One of the major things that suffered during that sea…

I love traveling. There is something about seeing new sights, exploring new cultures and learning about how others live that I can never get enough of. I traveled as often as I could finagle during my college and young adult years. I saw everything from Alaska to Germany to Israel and mo…

Here is an analysis of the Rifqa Bary case by one of our readers:
Pastor Blake Lorenz mentions that Rifqa 'secretly' converted to Christianity four years ago. How old was Rifqa when she switched religions...13 or 14 years old. Her disenchantment with Islam began when she was ...12 ? 11? 10 yrs? So, while other girls of her age were busy skipping rope and giggling at boys, Rifqa was full on investigating comparative religions. Or, that the parents were so cruel to her that she had to find solac…

Dear Readers,
These are facts that might be hidden to a normal blogger while refering or reading about The Rifqa Bary Scandal, which I wanted to highlight here since everyone conveniently and stupidly seem to jump onto one side. They cry falsely under the pretexts of "SAVING RIFKA BARY".
Is it logic to save a child from his/her own parents? And whom do you think would love a child more than his or her own parents? So the actual lines SHOULD read:
"SAVING RIFKA BARY FROM THE BRAIN WASHING AND DEC…

There are a few points to note in the YouTube video by Mohomad Bary and Aysha Bary.
Mohomad Bary says he came to America in 2000 for Rifqa's treatments in her eye. They came to New York and had it done. If he could show such concern just for his daughter's eyes then what say about her life? Without say, he values it and treasures it.
They had moved to New Albany because the colleges there are ranked 10/10, so it wasn't a terrorist connection or movement or influence that had lead him to move…

Last week I shared about one of my biggest fears - that my kids won't have a solid foundation in faith. We also talked a little about the importance of not only regularly reading God's Word ourselves, but sharing the stories of the Bible with out children. Here…

In 2000 when I married my Airman husband I had the face of youth – no worry lines (or at least very few) creased my face. The next year saw 9/11 and the calm life I’d known as a military wife was forever altered. We live in Nebraska, far from ground zero, and yet the effects of what happened and the war that began as a result deeply impacted us as it did every military family in one way or another.
I was pregnant with our first child at the time, only three months away from giving birth. I reme…

I know firsthand was life as an angry mom is like. I spent almost two years trying to control my temper and failing miserably. It took a confrontation with someone close to me for me to really take a good, hard look in the mirror and realize that the problem was bigger than me. My anger was out of control. I had turned into someone that I didn’t recognize and my family was suffering because of it.
Soon after that confrontation, my kids and I were in the doctor’s office because one of them was s…
