My war paint is Sharpie ink
I've done Science and Maths tutoring (but not for $90/hr wink.gif).

I have the option to work from home this year. It would be writing teaching and learning resources. This sort of work comes through my job - when I'm not on mat leave. I've done it in the past but this resource would be published by an outside agency so the deadlines are tight. I have to work out whether it will be viable.

It's pretty ideal other than the deadlines. I longed for this kind of opportunity when my DD was small.

I put in a commercial kitchen in my garage and started a gluten free cake business. So far I sell at a local farmers market and to some cafes.

So far there's not much profit in it and it's a lot of long hours but it's something I love and it means I can stay home with the kids.

It was a lot of work setting up the kitchen, getting council approval and appropriate insurance etc but hopefully it will be worth it original.gif

I work for a non-for- profit organization uploading content to their website. I work approx 6h a week. It was great with a baby as i was able to do it while the baby was being held and breastfeeding. I did my housework while the baby slept. Now that my baby has become a toddler it is a bit harder so i have a friend babysit while i do my work. I got the job as I did some work for this organization few years back so when they needed someone they called me as I was already familiar with the organization and had some experience with them.

These days I do odds and ends of product photography for a couple of ongoing clients. It is sporadic, but it helps pays the bills when it comes in!

I'm an engineer and work from home up to 2 days a week. I pick and choose which days I spend in the office and which I spend at home. It's nice to have the flexibility.
