Our very first Wahm-tabulous Wednesday is here! I`m excited about our new theme days and I hope you are too! Every Wednesday I`ll be introducing you to a Work At Home Mom. Today, it`s a terrific lady by the name of Angela Wenke, who also just so happens to be my new Business Partner with Wahms United and the Wahm Business Club!

I haven`t known Angie all that long, but we`ve already become the best of friends and we work very well together Back in October of 2007, I replied to an email that I saw in one of the Yahoo Groups that I participate in. The subject of the post was Looking For A Talk Radio Co-Host. Angie already had plans well under way and when our first show aired, we new that Frugal Wahms Talk Radio was going to be terrific. What started off as a weekly 1 hour live internet talk radio show has now developed into two show`s per week, and we have a tendancy to go well over that 60 minute mark LOL.

So, back to Angie:

Angie is a full time Work At Home Mom from the St. Louis, MO area. Married to the love of her life, Angie and Chris have two teenage daughters.

Crafting has been in many family for many years, It came mainly from being raised from a single mom where our Income was very limited, so for Holidays we would come up with great crafts to create for our loved ones~ This was the best time of my childhood using our creativity and making new items, whether it was crocheting, sewing, candle making and more.

As I got married and had children of my own I passed on my crafting to them with making homemade holiday ornaments and crafts throughout the year. Now being part of this great Country and Primitive Community feels just like meeting a second family. I have been very blessed to meet many mentors and friends over the years. One such mentor gave met the encouragement I needed to open and start Heartland Graphics.

I started using Graphics that i purchased from other sites and had permission to use, then gradually over the last two years I have incorporated my own graphics and seen my business grow and thrive. It has been a wonderful experience and I cannot thank my Prim Community for the great emails and support.

I think that is what I love most about our wonderful Prim community is everyone helping one another out to succeed in our online businesses.

When I asked Angie what the biggest challenge she’s had to overcome as a Work At Home Mom, she had this to say:

One of the biggest things I seem to have a hard time with while being a work at home moms is deligating my time between home and business. Even though I am a work at home I tend to find that I spend more time filling orders, answering questions of clients that my work times spills into my family time. Over the years I have learn a fewed tricks to get my house work done and also make sure I have plenty of time with my family.

First to get my work done without worrying that it interferes with my family is I have a set daily schedule I try to work on. I work online from the moment I get up until my girls are showered and ready to eat breakfast in the morning and then I will take the last half hour before they go to school to chat with them. Then once they are off on the bus I am back at work. I divide my time where I work for one hour then do a chore, work for another hour and do another chore such as start laundry, mop kitchen floor etc. Another thing I did was I decided I had been online for long enough and over the years I had established myself and my businesses that it was time to set STRICT hours. So on all of my website I now have that my hours are Monday -Friday 8am-5pm that does not mean I won’t answer orders on the weekends or answer emails but this way customers know NOT to expect that I will get right back to them. This allows me to have Family time with my own family on the weekends at night! It is always important to make sure you try not to allow your business time to spill into your family time HOWEVER I have to admit I am guilty of responding to an occasional email off the clock ha ha!
