Personally, I'm a little bit leary of all these work-at-home opportunities only because of all the scams that you hear about nowadays. Sometimes you can do a lot of research, find out a company is legit, invest the money but not break even. Of course losing money could happen for various reasons...such as a lack of motivation once you realize that the process wasn't as easy as you thought it'd be...not that I speak from personal experience mind you (lol). This is a great time to have a lot of friends who can say "been there, done that, don't think you want to waste your time" or even the opposite "hey, that's an awesome investment because you get a decent return!".

Here's a site that I'm a part of:

http://www.cafemom.com/

It consists of moms of various backgrounds who are involved in different businesses or have personal experience with various businesses. They so far have seemed like a pretty honest group of people who believe in helping other moms who are in need of WAH opportunities. Check the site out and look at some of the work-at-home opportunites listed...since it's an awesome network of people, like hubpages, you can communicate with other mothers who are genuinely interested in seeing you prosper! Good luck:)
