Introduction to a Teacher Turned Stay-at-Home Mom/Self-Employed Business Woman

Let me begin by introducing myself.  My name is Heather, and I am the mother of two, soon to be three, crazy and fun-loving children.

I taught fifth-grade for the past nine years, but with the news of a new baby due at the beginning of August, I decided it was time to take a year off and explore other passions while staying home with the newest member of our family.  I have always struggled with my jealousy of other moms who had the opportunity to stay home with their children, so I am excited about the opportunity that awaits me.  While it hasn't quite sunken in yet, I know I will soon feel the anxiousness that comes with not going back to work in the next few weeks.  Not returning to work is a new experience, and any teacher out there will tell you how awkward it will be to drop my daughter off at school in the morning when I, myself, will not be reporting to my own classroom just across campus.

Staying at home means losing a full-time income; something that will definitely impact my family.  To compensate, I decided to become an Usborne Books and More consultant, selling amazing books to other book-lovers as a means of supporting my family.  (Please check out my website and let me know how I can help you earn some fabulous FREE books for your family as well!  I'd love to help you host a party or learn more about going into business for yourself as I have done!  k5803.myubam.com)

Here are my two beautiful children enjoying their new Usborne books!

Until next time, friends, check out my books, and if you are so inclined, make a purchase, book a party, or learn more about the business and help me follow my passion while supporting my family! :-)
