The Musings & Happenings of a Single Mompreneur
I’ve been working as a freelance writer/blogger for over 5 years. I feel very fortunate that I have been able to earn income doing something that I am not only good at, but that I enjoy. However, it’s not all butterflies and rainbows. Some aspects are awesome. Others suck…big time.
In fact, let me tell you about my personal pros and cons of being a freelancer.
Pro #1: I’m my own boss
This is a pretty awesome feeling.
If you follow my blog or my fan page you have probably noticed that I homeschool my son. We have been homeschooling for the past two years, even though this is his first “official” year a s a kindergartner. Over the years since I announced my intentions to homeschool Christian at least through elementary school, I have received a fair share of questions (as well as unsolicited advice and criticism, lol). Since I’ve gotten sort of tired of answering the same questions over and over again (and would also like to contribute to addressing some of the misconceptions surrounding homeschool),
Some days I admit that I am just NOT feeling it. And by ‘it’, I mean adulting. I don’t want to do much more than lay on the couch with my son, watching Netflix and playing video games. Maybe taking a nap. Actually, that’s pretty much what we did all day today. Sorry, not sorry.
However, I can’t do that every day. I have to take care of my son and make sure the bills get paid.

I will never forget the time when a complete stranger committed a random act of kindness for me.
I was in the drive-thru of McDonald’s, looking at the menu, trying to figure out what I could order with the eight dollars and change I had in my hand.
