Being a stay at home mom isn’t as easy as people think. For me, it’s the most exhausting form of work I have ever done. The one thing that drives me crazy about being a mother is the lack of structure your life takes, as you hectically tend from one little child to another, and driving them to and from school, feeding them, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, cook dinner… the list goes on.

One thing all mothers agree to, though, is that it is the most rewarding work we would ever do. The times you spend with your little ones — sans the tantrum and the wailing — are the most enjoyable times. Being able to be there for them makes staying at home worth every second.

Still, for me, I still miss work especially for the financial freedom it gave me. I didn’t have to rely on my husband’s income, and I don’t like the feeling of guilt every time I splurge on something using his money. So used to being independent, I feel awkward to even acknowledge that anything my husband earns is automatically shared to me.

That’s why I thank God that I live in this day and age where I can stay at home and still make tons of money. I’m not embarrassed to say that most of my income is generated through blogging with programs such as PayPerPost and SocialSpark. Paid to blog is the most realistic way of making money online, and I didn’t have to learn all those marketing and promotion things. The flexibility these programs gave me means that I can put my kids to sleep, then type and make money in the wee hours of the morning, or whenever I want to, really.

Now I don’t have to worry about asking money from my husband and I can splurge however I want. If you’re a mom and have a blog, but haven’t signed up for SocialSpark, then why wait? Register now and start working on your own pace, you’ll be glad you did.
