The kids and I are back after a couple of weeks away and not only was it relaxing and fun, it was an incredible learning experience. Truthfully, it was something I should have learned a long time ago but didn’t because of my math mental block, which I blame on Mr. Black’s 6th grade long division
I received an email from a reader last week asking for layering tips with work-appropriate attire. She mentioned that all too often she reaches for a basic cardigan & requested some new ideas for combinations she can wear on the job. Since most offices have the air conditioning cranked duri
When you first set out to start a company, especially as a Work-At-Home-Mom, a lot of what you do tends to consists of quite a bit of “trial and error” until you figure out what works best. And so, a few months (or even a couple of years) into running your company, you might come to the conc
In the past four years, I have learned so much about what it takes to provide financially for my family! Along with that has come a lot of stress and burden regarding family finances. Up until then, my husband always took care of us. Hubby worked hard, brought home the paycheck, and I paid the bills
As a Mompreneur I’m a asked all the time about the best jobs for moms. Let’s face it many of us want to be work at home moms but we don’t want that work to take over our lives or take time from our families. That defeats the whole purpose of working at home right? So in my search for the best
It’s been a pretty eventful couple of weeks/months here at Good Enough Mother and for the woman behind the movement (yeah that would be me!). There have been some changes that have left me more in control of my site, my brand, and myself. However, with freedom comes fear and I’d be lying if I

It’s an unfortunate reality that many of us are chained to our desks for eight hours or longer each and every day. That’s not to mention the overtime or the work we take home with us on the weekends. It’s a sad fact that most of us spend more time sitting than we do standing, walking, running,
Some call it a rainy-day fund while others call it a nest egg, a retirement plan, or simply a backup. But whatever you call your savings account, the truth is that it’s there in case of an emergency. And when you’re a stay-home mom that works in a contract or freelance capacity to provid
