My husband John left his corporate job as a data analyst in September of 2004 to join me in working from home. It was the best decision that we have ever made. It seemed risky to trade his very secure salary and position for the unknown future of a home business. But it didn’t take long for us to easily make up for the lost income.
I love it that we both are home with the kids. I love sharing the office work AND the housework. We really enjoy eachothers company so the lifestyle is perfect for us.
I was just reading an article from nbc news about couples choosing to work from home and was delighted that it is becoming a more mainstream decision for people.

Press Release:
Woman’s World Magazine features a great business opportunity, starting a tutoring referral business. Home Tutoring Business offers entreprneuers a “tutoring business in a box,” which is similar to a franchise without the added costs and requirements.
Newbury Park, CA (PRWEB) November 23, 2005 — Laurie Hurley is a successful entrepreneur. Her tutoring referral business, Bright Apple Tutoring Service, Inc., http://www.brightappletutoring.com, has been matching tutors with students since 2001. In July, Hurley also launched her newest company, Home Tutoring Business, http://www.hometutoringbusiness.com, which offers a tutoring business package that enables others to start their own successful business. Her success is just another example of the entrepreneur opportunities that are available to those wishing to work from home. She also recently caught the attention of Woman’s World Magazine editors and is currently featured in their November 29th issue. But that’s not all. She is also scheduled to appear in other top magazines in the upcoming months including: Redbook, Family Circle, Entrepreneur, and Parents Magazines and also the Press Republication Newspaper.
Hurley is quoted in Woman’s World Magazine saying, “I quit my job to be with Hannah [her adopted daughter], but we needed more money. A friend got me thinking about finding tutors for kids. From my home office, I ran an ad, and the phone started ringing! Now I make more than I ever did before without taking time away from Hannah and her sister Aida.” The headline of the Woman’s World article says it all, “No Cash? No experience? No problem! Look what happens when a mom has a great idea! … There’s a new trend unfolding: Moms making megabucks.”
With pressure to ensure their children keep pace with classmates and score well on standardized tests, more parents are looking to hire tutors. In fact, the nationwide tutoring market anticipates there are more than 6 million children receiving tutoring this year alone. With this growth comes the need for qualified tutors. Laurie Hurley is a tutor broker – she contracts with qualified tutors and matches them with students in need of one-on-one tutoring. She has successfully connected hundreds of students with dedicated, professional teachers and tutors and is now offering her effective business procedures to entrepreneurs looking for a strong business with great earning potential.
Home Tutoring Business Package is similar to a franchise (but at a fraction of the cost) providing all the necessary tools to start your business including a website, customized accounting software program, personalized training by Laurie Hurley, and a detailed business manual. Woman’s World Magazine described it as a Home Tutoring “Business in a Box.” With average websites costing upwards of $3000 and customized software between $10,000 and $20,000, this is an affordable alternative for those serious about their entrepreneurial objectives. You receive all of the benefits of a franchise, without the added fees, monthly royalties, restrictions and limitations.
As Hurley states, the three main benefits are:
* Costs are a fraction of a franchise with on-going personal support from myself, not a staff of people who have never worked in the field or met and matched families with tutors.
* The packages are all-inclusive with customized programs, website, marketing and advertising designed specifically for the tutoring business in mind.
* The buyer has a choice of three business packages to suit their needs and financial capabilities. If one doesn’t feel they need a customized accounting software program, there is no need to buy that package. You pick what will work best for you.
Plus, right in time for the holidays, Home Tutoring Business is offering an especially unique gift this year – the “Gift of a Small Business,” offering holiday savings of $250.00 off your business package.
For more information on a Home Tutoring Business or to purchase a business package, please visit http://www.hometutoringbusiness.com or call 1-888-847-0033.

Wendy Fertschneider from the San Luis Obispo Tribune wrote a jolting piece, posing the question — why is it that women are being asked by society to make a choice between career and family. I think she raises some excellent points.
She keenly states that it isn’t a blow against the feminist movement to have women putting off their careers to raise their children, but rather that it is a blow against the feminist movement that we are still pitting two values (work and family) against eachother and asking a woman to choose one of them.
That’s right. How can we as a society integrate family friendly work enviornments, telecommuting. more affordable insurance, longer maternity leaves etc. for working women? Or for that matter, as Wendy shines light on well in her piece, men?
Many of us have persevered in balancing both worlds by opening our own home businesses. That’s one answer to the situation but still sorely lacks the health insurance that our families need and that are a large percentage of even employed women’s income.
Check out her article here, and don’t forget to come back and comment with your thoughts.
