Welcome to the April edition of FreelanceMom news! Spring is on the way! Those of us fortunate enough to work from home are beginning to feel the fruit of our hard work as we venture outdoors with the little ones during our 'lunch break'. Remember to relish each day, take time to tickle those little ones and take time for YOURSELF. Working at home is a balancing act, NOT a juggling act. Once you find your balance and rhythm, all of your efforts will flourish!

You will notice some changes occuring at FreelanceMom over the next few months, beginning with the new look of our newsletter. Our subscription list and forum are growing and it has been our pleasure to be able to find jobs for some of our Moms over the past month. We will continue to post jobs at the forum, so if you are seeking Freelance work, join our community and network!

Last month we added the Business Opportunity (BizOp) section to FreelanceMom. And this month we are happy to offer Banners and Buttons for sale for Business women who need them. You can purchase exclusive rights to our images or can 'share' them at a more economical rate.

We have plenty of upgrades in the pipeline! So don't forget to take some breaks in your busy day to visit us and contribute to our warm Work at home Mom (WAHM) community!

P.S. We are always looking for your feedback, contributions and suggestions... please feel welcome to submit your articles and ideas for inclusion in our FreelanceMom community.
