Work-at-Home Mom Tips: Get Some; Give Some

Working from home is a constant learning experience. As a work-at-home mom, I find each new job, project or client I take on gives me a little more insight about how to meld work and home while keeping my sanity.

Things are always changing. Not just the jobs, which is par for the course when you're an independent contractor, but the kids keep changing and growing. And so what worked to keep them busy when they were in preschool doesn't cut it in middle school.

Over the years I've collected a few tips for WAHMs --everything from ways to find free child care to keeping the house clean. But because working from home is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, I'd like to hear from the rest of you. What works for you? I've set up a folder in About.com's WAHMs Forum for your ideas. Post them, and I may add them to my list of tips.
