People really have no idea that being a stay-at-home mom is in fact a HUMONGOUS amount of work!!

Have fun at BlogHer! Maybe in a year or two I’ll join y’all…

I’ve been struggling with this exact subject lately. What am I? I’m having a SAHM/WAHM identity crisis.

And then I try to explain what blog design is to people who have no idea what a blog is. Hmph. That’s a barrel of laughs !

You have so much going on – you are SO a work at home mom! I totally agree with Susan – you’re a professional blogger now!

Personally I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the term work-at-home-mom… and I hate to break it to you, but I think you’re also a work-at-home-mom by almost all definitions. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to use the term if you don’t like it.

Janice recently started telling people that we’re ‘professional bloggers’. So there you go girl, you’re a ‘professional blogger’!

The SAHM title has always bugged me. Makes it sound like we’re prisoners, and like all we ever think about is mothering. I’d prefer a title that doesn’t even have that SAH anywhere on it.

Yeah- just what is our category? And I was just thinking this morning about you and wondering if you’re bringing business cards to Blogher for ALL your jobbies… because you have a lot, girl!~

I know the feeling. Having been out to dinner a few times with my husband’s cleint and being asked what I do and getting “the look” I can completely agree.

You’re writing is getting better and better, I can see your confidence really shining through! I think women tend to shy away from sharing what they do, and owning it. Sometimes its easier and more comfortable to just say SAHM then go into all the other things you do.

Hear hear to all of the above. I am a work from home mom wishing I could earn some CASH doing this thing called blogging. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy the writing, the process and what I learn on the way.
