As we approach this wonderful holiday that reminds us to give thanks, I’m inspired to reflect on some of the reasons I am thankful to be a work at home mom:
Child #1
Child #2
Child #3
Child #4
Well, that’s sort of self-evident. Go a little deeper, and I can find lots of reasons, big and small, to give thanks for the opportunity to be a work at home mom. Here are five that come to mind right away:
1. I can control my work environment in a way unavailable to me in the corporate world….I’m surrounded by the tools and touches that speak to me (since I’m the one who picked them out!)
2. I can sleep in if I want to…and not be “late” for work.
3. Work stuff that doesn’t demand dedicated time (and attention), doesn’t have to consume as much precious time when I can multi-task with various household tasks; e.g., start supper and then finish up some business e-mails OR tackling desktop projects while waiting for kids at activities.
4. There is more family time available, since I don’t have any commute, I can sneak household chores into the day, and I’m just around more.
5. I like being at home….always have.
OK, all work at home moms. What is your top reason for being thankful to be a work at home mom?

Well, just like you, I can sleep more and take nap whenever I like! Haa..
Also, I’m a “at home” person which I can stay at home for few days without stepping out, so “work at home mom” just suitable for me.
