Finding the time for a home based business

A few months ago, we have been blessed with a new baby in our house, she is now four months old, and things are going great (she sleeps though the night, but shh..don't tell too many people they seem to get jealous). Anyway, even more recently we got a new puppy, which I am learning can be just like having another baby in the house.

There is no way, I could do all of this on my own, and I am so glad to have my wife, who is currently on maternity leave but this will be ending in a few months, and then we will have a bit of a dilemma. Perhaps you have encountered this yourself.

We could, put our kids in daycare, and she could go back to work full time, but then we would have a large daycare bill, which would be offset by the extra income from working full time. Or she could work part times on evenings and weekends to make up the difference from our maternity leave pay...but don't Roget that being at home all day is already a full time job, and adding on a few evenings and weekends maybe find in the short term, but can become very tiresome in the longterm.

...Imagine holding your hands outstretched, palms up, you can do it for a while but after several hours your arms get pretty tired.

Of course there are lots of opportunities online. I am particularly watching a relatively new idea called SocialSpark. It is unlike other paid to blog systems I have seen. In particular, it offers a reservation system,(so I can sort of write posts in advance), and they allow "nofollow" links. The creators of the site also seem to have a good sense of humor, and send funny cute emails when they tell me a reservation slot has opened up for me Currently this puts them on the top of my list.

Now could it be used to replace a monthly maternity pay? Maybe, it does look promising, but just like any other business, it has to be something you can be passionate about, and find the time to keep on top of <- and probably shouldn't be ending sentences with prepositions.
