A freelance writer and editor for more than a decade, Laureen Miles Brunelli has built a work-at-home career while she and her husband raise three children.

Experience:

After working as a magazine reporter in New York City, Laureen began her freelance writing career in Orlando, FL, in 1996 with the birth of her first child.

Since then, the family has moved twice and welcomed two more children. With each birth and every new city, Laureen's career and home life changed. One of those changes came in 2006 when her husband decided to work from home as well. Together, they juggle family and work responsibilities from their sometimes chaotic home.

In addition being About.com's Guide to Work-at-Home Moms, Laureen currently edits Where Baltimore, a tourist-oriented magazine, and writes for many other websites and publications.

Education:

Laureen earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and political science from Indiana University.

From Laureen Miles Brunelli:

I have always cherished the time I can spend with my children as they grow, but I enjoy the challenge (and monetary reward) of having a career. Working from home gives me the best of both worlds, though it isn't always easy. I want to take what I've learn in the last decade and help you navigate through ups and downs of being a work-at-home mom.
