Devoted to WAHMs -Work at Home Moms

If you work from home, do you need child care? If so, what kind of child care should you select?

I know that many Work From Home Momma readers have chosen to work from home in order to spend more time with their families. I also know that others choose to use some form of child care during their working hours so that they can better support their family. I think that it's time to revisit the topic.

Last week Wendy Piersall at eMom At Home discussed the branding problem a blog faces when it has the term "mom" in it's name or URL. In Wendy's case, the discussion has led her to revisit her brand and examine whether the name still fits.

While I'm not about to change the name of Work From Home Momma (for one thing, it belongs to Know More Media), as someone who blogs on a site with "mom" somewhere in its name, I can fully relate to Wendy's dilemma.

The thing is, a lot of what we discuss here is relevant to dads too. Dads have families that they care about. Some dads work from home. Dads care about issues that affect their families. Dads want to balance their time better. ...And so on...

I'm not quite sure what to do for the dads, so I'm throwing this topic open for suggestions.
 

One company has decided to make safe toys its mission. HealthyToys.org has created a Consumer Action Guide to Toxic Chemicals in Toys. Through a simple test, the organization can determine what chemicals are in a toy, and they're making those results public.

Are your child's toys safe? Are you sure?
