Stay-at-home mom? How to make money or be an entrepreneur!

You never know what a kid is going to find. Perhaps that is why stay-at-home moms stay so busy.

It’s one of the reasons why Suzanne Miller, mom of two, took a friend’s suggestion. Her business of taking photos has taken off.

Amber Johnson of the Denver Post’s MileHighMamas.com says there are more options than ever for stay-at-home moms who want to make a little extra money.

Each Diva bag includes not only the Purse but a shirt and 2 – 3 accessories to go along with the outfit! A style card is included in the purse to let you know what kinda pants/skirt/ect. to pair the outfit with to get the perfect look. CHECK it OUT! http://www.diva-in-a-bag.com!

    Good afternoon. My website is http://www.tummykickers.com. My husband and I came up with the idea while I was pregnant with our first child. After putting the remote control on my tummy to watch as the baby kicked we looked and looked for something that would be more fun to watch and found nothing. That is how we came up with TummyKickers. We received our patent in Feb 2011. You simply put it on your pregnant tummy and watch the trinkets and liquid move as the baby kicks. Very fun, just wish I had it when I was pregnant:)!!!
