Stay Home With Your Kids Day

If we can have a "take your child to work" day, why not a "stay at home with your child" day?

(PRWEB) August 15, 2004 -- Local home-based businesswoman, Kara Kelso is preparing to celebrate the eighth annual "Stay Home With Your Kids Day" on Monday August 16, 2004. Stay Home With Your Kids Day is sponsored by WAHM.com: The Online Magazine for Work-at-Home Moms. The purpose of the day is to provide a day of recognition and celebration for those parents who have chosen to be home with their children.

Cheryl Demas, publisher of the WAHM.com web site and author of "It's a Jungle Out There and a Zoo in Here" (Warner Books, 2003) says, "If you're thinking about leaving the traditional workplace, Stay Home With Your Kids Day is the perfect opportunity to take a vacation day and give serious thought to making the change. Leaving your job may not be an easy decision, but if you heart aches every time you drive away from the child care center in the morning, it might be time to look at other options." And there are many options for parents today; aside from working full-time outside the home. Many parents are finding that working from home is the perfect solution to their work/home dilemma.

Kara Kelso has been running Mom's Market (amoung other websites) from her home since December 2003.

Kara Kelso states : "Although working from home while taking care of my two young children (ages 4 and almost 2) can be quite a challenge sometimes, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Knowing that others deserved the chance to stay at home with their children and wanting to support other mothers, I created Mom's Market and quit my work at home job." Mom's Market, located at: http://www.momsmarketonline.com , is an online shopping mall for mothers that features stores owned by moms.

As Demas States, "If we can have a day to take our children to work, we should be able to devote one day to staying home with our children. While we realize that not all parents can or wish to be home full-time with their kids, WAHM.com is dedicated to giving advice and support to those who are determined to make it work. Give it a try; 'Mom' can be the best job description you've ever had."
