Creative ideas and tips for making money while staying home.

Baby Expenses

When your baby is almost ready to come out, it usually means your wallet is quite empty.  First it's getting paints for the baby room, then a cot, mobiles, different cloths for every 3 months, and the list just goes on and on.  Add up all these little expenses to the more serious ones coming soon (life insurance, college fund etc.) and you might feel like weeping. Don't worry! Now is the time to put to use every useless skill or far out idea you ever had.  This is the time for garage sales, pottery items and art classes for the neighbor's kids.  Here are some suggestions on how to get that extra cash.

Your skills and hobbies

You must have thought out a thousand different ideas of how to make extra cash along the years, and this is the time to believe in yourself and put some of these ideas into practice.

Use your mind

Give private lessons to children in the field of your expertise.  Math and English are always popular subjects, as well as an afternoon art class for the neighborhood kids, all depending on your natural inclination.

Offer your writing or editorial skills through internet sites or the local newspaper.

Use you hands

Anything you enjoy doing – pottery, sewing, handmade greeting cards, knitting or making quilts are just a few examples in a world of possibilities.  If cooking is your expertise, you can sell homemade cakes, cookies and quiches to local restaurants or to neighbors.
