On my local parenting mailing list, someone recently asked about work from home opportunities and it got me thinking about when I first started researching working at home on my own. Working at home is something a lot of stay at home parents aspire to do.

This is the first of a weekly series on working at home. I’m hoping that my work at home misadventures and experience will eventually be of use/value to someone.
