I have started this blog to keep track of my progress towards my goal of working from home.

Who am I? A married woman with two kids who works outside of the home full-time. While in many ways I enjoy having a career, I am tired of the hustle and bustle of juggling a job and a family. Theoretically, we could live off of my husband’s income, but finances would be tighter than I would like. That is one of the reasons I would like to make some money from home.

At the moment I have no definitive plan for when or how I will make the transition to working from home. It’s just a goal, a dream. But rather than just quit my job one day and hoping for the best, I am trying to build up some online income now. My success in that area will certainly play into when I take the plunge to start working from home.

My plan for online income is building niche websites. I built my own website a few years ago, but it’s a personal site with no monetary growth potential. However, it does rank well for the main keyword in Google and I have learned alot along the way, so I am hopeful that I can have some success in building other sites.

I have have just recently started building my first niche sites and will start tracking their progress here soon. Since I have so little free time already, I am not sure when I will be able to work on the template here. Hopefully it will be soon as I hate a generic looking site. In the meantime, for the 2 people that stumble upon this blog, I apologize for the appearance.

    I found your site via your comment over at Caroline Middlebrook’s site. I’m playing around with some adsense sites at the moment and am always interested in their people’s journeys. I’m going to subscribe to your blog so I can see how you get on :)
