Traci Weinhart: Inspiring Mompreneur of May

I love featuring women from all stages of business growth as inspiring mompreneurs. Traci Weinhart is still growing her business, but you can learn so much from this mompreneur. Several moms haven’t even gotten started with their business, so Traci is sure to inspire.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

My name is Traci, creator of The Frugal Work at Home Mom Blog. There, I try my best to help other moms find resources to being frugal, finding work at home positions, side gigs, or just fun, frugal things to do with their family. I am a wife, mother, homeschool mom, blogger, and virtual assistant. I love helping others find that they can have their cake and eat it too.

So many moms want to stay home and be with their children, but in today’s world, many families need two incomes. Because of that, many moms fall victim to scams.

Why should a new mom work from home? What are the benefits?

While I am not one to judge a new mom for wanting to get back to her or having to pay bills, but they should know that there are options available and if they’re going to work from home. They can provide for their family while still raising their family.

Depending on the job and situation, you can save money on daycare as well as gas, insurance, wear and tear on your vehicle, clothing, parking, lunches, etc. You can also save time by not having a commute or sitting in traffic. All these resources can go back to your family. The ultimate benefit is spending more time with your children. They grow so fast, and every minute is precious.
