How many of you moms have your own business?

How many of you moms have your own business? What type of business is it? Is it kid-related? Or is it one of those "Work from home stuffing envelopes" types of gigs? An etsy shop? Just wondering what moms are doing to make money from home.

Do you make a living at it? Or just manage to pay for "extras"?

I cut hair out of the house, when I'm not busy.

It's enough to keep me in play money. :)

I work outside of the home but I do have my own home party business.  I sell sex toys (and some milder items, also)

Me, im a photographer! Although it barely helps with the bills... I do work part time as a receptionist to help with the payments. This is mainly a fun hobby that I am working really hard on so in a few years I can do something more with it. :D

I used to own a baby boutique that sold some super cute stuff.  But when I got sick and lost our daughter I had to give it up...was just too much!

I'm a Notary and in this economy it can be busy one month, then very slow the next. This weekend I made $400 off two calls, but last month I only made $100 from two calls.  I don't pursue this fulltime, it is just for occasional spending money.  My website is $4.99 a month, which isn't too bad.

The most I've made in any given month is $1,200.

I clean homes for a living.  I don't work every day, and most days are 6-7 hours while the kids are in school so it works.  It helps to pay the bills and I am trying to get out of debt.  Hopefully I will be back in school in Sept. and will be able to cut back to just 2 clients.
