7 Successful Work At Home Grandmothers

Tuesday Apr 7, 2009

I’m still contemplating changing the template to this blog, it’s been nice looking at Spring flowers, but I think it’s time to go for a more professional look.  But before I take time to do that, let me invite you to join me as I do what was suggested in lesson 2 of the 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge (I think you can still join!).

Over the year, we’ve featured a number of grandmothers and their work at home businesses.  I want to list them here in one post for you, to encourage or inspire you, if you are still trying to find your “niche”. Click the Grandmother’s name to visit their post for a lot more information about them, and how they started their business.

  1. Angie Baker is an example of someone who has taken a craft that she loves, jewelry making, and turned it into a business.
  2. Paula Jackson is a grandmother that I have known “virtually” for a number of years, and helps people keep their homes clean and healthy without polluting the environment.
  3. Darlene Demell is another grandmother in Canada who has a home business that provides delicious things to enhance your meals, your health and your home.
  4. Jackie Thompson’s post is a popular stop, she has built a business out of making military purses…her story is wonderful, do stop by for a visit.
  5. Self-Taught Artist - this is a grandmother I found while searching the internet, and was fascinated by her story and video, she has never attended art school, but is a talented self-taught portrait artist.
  6. Karen is a grandmother with a unique situation, all 3 of her children were born on the same date…no, they aren’t triplets, they were born the same date but different years.  Read about how she works at home in the country.
  7. Rita Sweet is another crafty grandmother who has started her own business making soap…you have to visit and see her hand made crayons, your children and grandchildren will love them!

That is only a few in the list, please contact me if I can feature you, it would be my pleasure to do so!  The only requirement is that you be a grandmother, a grandma “wanna be” like me, or “old” enough to be a grandmother.

Do you mean make it a numbered list instead of bullet points? That’s a good idea, I’ll go do that right now. Same to you on the 31DBBB
