5 Reasons to Work From Home

Anthea Chiappa from Lifestyle Happy Place

Working at home has its ups and downs, but for most of us the pros outweigh the cons of working at home. While our career paths, home office setups, and childcare arrangements may vary greatly, most moms find working from home a valuable lifestyle if they can make it work.

Working at home has its ups and downs, but for most of us the pros outweigh the cons of working at home. While our career paths, home office setups, and childcare arrangements may vary greatly, most moms find working from home a valuable lifestyle if they can make it work.

5 Reasons for Working at Home:

1# Spend more time with your kids
- More time spent at home means more opportunities to be there when the kids need you.

2# Increase or maintain your income
- Mothers who are entering the workforce can ease back into it and work on their own time frames and increase their income working from home. Or save on workplace costs if they are leaving their jobs.

3# Give up the commute
- Eliminate the wasted time spent traveling to work. Also save money on petrol, public transport and insurance.

4# Work flexible hours
- Take control of your schedule. Start early work late and have the day to do the things you love. Lifestyle of choice.

5# Gain fulfillment in all aspects of your life.
- Make time for you. Do the activities you never had time to do. Your family can have time too of course. Being self-employed in particular gains a feeling of controlling your own destiny. Create that work life balance by trial and error. Your life on your terms working from home.

Anyone can work from home these days with the future turning digital. If this is something you feel you would like to explore then dont be scared to take a look what's out there. You won't know if it's for you unless you keep an open mind and take a look at opportunities.

💗Monday's warm fuzzies video 💗

Fiona from Henderson

Little Avett Ray may be legally blind, but he's not willing to let his lack of sight stand in the way of his musical dreams, especially when it comes to rocking out at the piano.

Little Avett Ray may be legally blind, but he's not willing to let his lack of sight stand in the way of his musical dreams, especially when it comes to rocking out at the piano.
At just 6-years-old, Avett's rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is not only seriously impressive, but also a lesson to us all in perseverance. When Avett makes a mistake, he uses audio cues to correct himself.
Bless his super cute heart💗
️🎼️🎶He's going to go a long way with these great musical skills️🎶️🎼

Looking for affordable FRESH fruit & vegetables

Evening Ladies & Gentlemen,

Evening Ladies & Gentlemen,
Now, I need your help please.
The man and I have just paid through the nose (again) for our weekly fruit & vegetable shop. Once we picked ourselves off the floor and hobbled home with a broken and empty wallet, we made the decision we have to find another place to do our weekly shop.
We know that prices have been going through the roof across the board, but we feel that because a local place isn't there (for now) that this shop can increase prices above supermarket prices and get away with it as they are the closest in the neighbourhood.
We used to go to a couple on Lincoln Road, but one was so expensive and one had poor quality fruit and shocking service.
We would really value your import into where we can find good value for fresh products. We chose our current one because they had fresh products, even through the weekend.
So we really want:
1. FRESH
2. Affordable - good value
3. Great selection and variety
Thank you all in advance for your help
