| I know this topic has probably been discussed many times but i'm desperate. I stay home with my 6 month old twin girls. I need some legitimate work at home ideas that can bring in some extra income.  |

| Are you crafty? Make things to sell on Etsy.
My friend makes fairly good money (750-1000/month) selling Thirty-One and it gets her out of the house a night or two a week. She does a lot of catolog/internet parties also. She's been doing it about 1.5 years.
Take on another kid to watch during the day.
Could you tutor or have any other skills that you could turn into a work from home job? Bookkeeping, writing, etc.
Start a blog- I've heard that sometimes there can be some perks with that if it gets a lot of traffic (advertising, free stuff), but it might take a while to build up an audience.

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | My ex boyfriend's son is trying to design t-shirts and sell them on the internet. I'm not sure if it works though, but I can see where it might. |

Thanks those are all really great ideas. Etsy wouldn't work for me though because I am not crafty at all lol. I've been trying for about a month to find two kids to keep at my home but I haven't had much luck with that so now I'm trying to find a plan B to make money.
Bookkeeping would be really great for me. I would actually love to do that since my major was accounting before I quit school. I have an office set up in my house and my kids take a good 2 hour nap and they sleep late so it gives me plenty of time to work. Only problem is I have no clue how to get started with that. I'll make another post asking for advice on that lol |

| 6 months old twins? Girl, if I were you I'd use that time to do absolutely NOTHING and relax! You deserve it  If you absolutely need the money try to find ways to save the same amount of money you'd make from your part time at-home job. A penny saved is a penny earned! |

Oh i'd love to just sit around and relax but with the twins, child support for my step son, and 4 horses who have all earned a forever stall with me... I really need to have an income in addition to my husband's. I wish i could just relax lol but that's not an option right now. |

| My brother and sister in law are having a really hard time finding quality child care for odd hour jobs. Not overnight, but my brother often works until 8pm and my sister in law often works at 5am. Day care facilities are often 6-6, no outside hours. In home is hard to find, much less affordable, decent people who don't smoke in the house or cuss around the kids.
If your household is willing, I'd look into it. Unfortunately, it's not a lot of money. Average $40/day. Still, it's an extra $200/week. |
