This week on Keeping It Centsible, our weekly podcast, Denise and I will be discussing work-at- home-moms (WAHM’s) and momtrepreneurs. Perhaps you have been considering ways to earn money while staying home with your family. This show is for you!
We’ll be covering topics like:
- Blog Monetization
- Starting a business from home
- Balancing work and family
- Working from home as a transcriptionist
We’ll have not one, but two special guests on the show! Our first guest, Mandi Ehman, is a WAHM with 3 children and 1 on the way. She manages 4 blogs, including the fabulous organizingyourway.net, and she is also a transcriptionist.
Our second guest is a true mom-entrepreneur, Julie, the creative genius behind Ajo.Bebe. Looking for a unique hand-made baby product? Ajo.Bebe makes beautiful slings, changing pads, bibs and more! She features beautiful and luxurious fabrics in vintage inspired patterns.
We’ll hear about how Julie launched her business from home in Palm Beach, Florida. She strives to inspire other moms who are wanting to start home businesses.
Ajo.Bebe is currently offering a special 20% off retail discount for our readers and listeners. If you are interested in ordering one of their unique products, email Julie directly at info@ajobebe.net and mention our show.
I also have a fabulous Ajo.Bebe product to give away to one of my readers! It is a “travel-duo”: a stylish case to hold diapers and wipes in a clever travel box. This would make a wonderful baby gift!

Wow! The fabric colors are amazing! I actually think the travel duos are the best thing on their site! Funny that it’s what is being given away also! I think it would be cool to get a changing pad so you can have your baby’s bum on something so cute when you’re changing him!

my question is this:
Do you ever feel left out that you don’t have a 9-5 job outside of the home? How does this affect your social life?
