And many mothers are looking for opportunities to work from home, like jobs that offer telecommuting. But a third option is to start your own business at home. More and more mothers are making this choice .My guest today, Julie Tara, has done just that and has some important insights and tips about how it has impacted her and others in their efforts to build a strong family and to be there for their children.
