Stay At Home Mom’s Guide
If you are thinking about becoming a SAHM there are a few
things to be considered. Most moms would tell you it can be
a thankless job but it is also a warding one! Most moms
would not trade staying home and being “their kids mom” for
all of the riches in the world.
1. Your
family comes first but don’t isolate yourself. Find
time for a girl’s day out, work outs at the gym, and an
occasional lunch with friends. Organize a play group with
friends that have kids the same age. You’ll find this a
healthy activity time for you and the kids.
2. When someone asks you what you do,
take pride in the most important CEO position in the world,
“your kid’s mom.” Don’t discount the importance of your
job. Take pride in being a
SAHM. Your children are only small once.
3.
Develop a schedule and calendar to organize you and your
family’s daily activities. As a
stay at home mom you will find that everyone will expect
you to volunteer for fundraisers and events. As a result
you could find yourself running ragged and not having the
time for your family that you had intended. Guard your time
and stay organized.
4. It’s tough to live on one income, so
you may find it necessary to develop
income from home. You can have the best of all worlds.
Make a list of your talents, abilities, and what you would
enjoy doing. Thousands of moms work part time and even full
time at home while raising their
children.
5. Learn how to cut a few corners and
clip coupons. You will find a great coupon resource at

cooking from scratch will always save money in the household
budget. Using crock pot recipes and making soups from
scratch are big budget stretchers. When you make a pot of
soup, make enough for two or three meals. Learn to love
leftovers and never let anything go to waist. Find the
local up scale resale shops. You will find that many of
these shops sell “like new” clothing for women and children
that you can purchase for pennies on the dollar! When your
best friend complements you on how hot you look you will
feel so smart!
If being a stay at home mom is a priority these important
tips will make a difference.
