Jeddah Mom
Motherhood and Expat life in Saudi Arabia
In this category, you will find my articles on Work at Home Mom lifestyle, how to blog and work from home amidst raising family.
I have been working from home, building a business, setting goals and routines for myself for the past 15 years. I have had four children during this time. On Jeddah Mom, I share my work from home lifestyle and how to work alongside children while managing a home and a business.
It is absolutely possible to earn from home and create a job for yourself even after marriage and kids.
If you are wondering ho you too can start your own business from home or may be you are looking for ideas to know what is possible for women to do from home, I hope you find my articles helpful.
Feel free to reach out to me if you need help with something.
Much love,
