Hello, and nice to meet everyone! I've been browsing the forums for awhile now, and everyone seems so friendly and so happy (to be working at home I assume!) I'm a 26 year old wife, and mother, my son is 8, and we have a baby on the way due in June. I have been a waitress for almost 5 years at a local restaraunt, and when I first started it was great money, and great times. Management has slowly changed, as has the customer base (the worse the economy gets - the grumpier our guests are), etc... plus the fact that our baby will be here in 6 short months, really makes me want to be able to work at home! I have been interested in finding a work at home job for years now, as I usually have no energy left to keep up on housework as much as I'd like - after the physical exertion of waitressing all day long, plus the desire to stay at home with my children.

My husband is a union carpenter, but the economy is messing with us here too. Not much work around right now, plus the winter months are always slow anyway. God has never let us down, but living paycheck to paycheck is getting difficult. I have been getting into couponing lately, and I'm finding it really exciting! This is one way that I hope to save us lots of money, and it's also becoming so fun it might be my new hobby!

I don't know exactly what type of job or bussiness I'd like to be involved in really, whatever I can find right now would be great. My dream has always been to own my own bakery some day, but I cannot start a home based baking bussiness as NJ has a law against baking from home for profit. Sorry if my post was long, just wanted to be as detailed as possible! =)

Welcome Aboard! I have been trying to do the coupon thing lately too. I'm not really serious about it but it has been saving me some good money so I'm trying to get into it some more.
