Transcription
Last night was a reminder of how thankful I am to be working from home on a flexible schedule. After my shopping spree at Kohl's (Where I found AMAZING deals!) I realized my youngest daughter Olivia was burning with a fever of 103 and had red spots all over her. We took her to the urgent care and we spoke to a couple of nurses who assured me she would be okay. She is fine now. Fever is gone, as well as the rash. But the last worry on my mind was work! I was able to put my baby as first and top priority! And THAT is why I work from home. Why do you work from home? … [Read more...]

The following job leads are exactly that, HARD to get! They claim to want a 2 year college degree...but I have heard of many hired without it.
