Dang, Elisabeth, I totally envy you. I'd give anything to be able to make my home my job, but hubby says we can't afford it yet.
Your hubby may know what he's talking about. It took a few years of planning to get me home. Before the kids came around, we put the grand majority of my salary into paying off college and medical loans so that we wouldn't be bogged down with debt when I wanted to come home. We also selected a smallish home to begin with, one we could afford on one income. I love staying at home, but I hate stressing over bills. We choose to live poorer than we have to since the kids will only be young once.
