Does Being a Stay-at-Home-Mom Boost Your Creativity?

Being at home with your baby all day really can test your patience - and your creativity. With a fussy baby, a house that needs to be swept and laundry that needs to be put away moms have to use their creative side in order to keep that little one happy long enough to eat, shower, clean the house or do the work that some moms manage to do from home.
But, does this cross over into the craft world? Yes!
A creative mind works in many different ways. On the rare occasion when moms have a little free time they can dedicate that to crafting. The reasons for this can vary. It could be that buying a thirty dollar decorative pumpkin is just not in the household budget, but to make it would only be a fraction of the price. And, since it's custom made, the craft is often better than what would have been bought in the store.
Crafting can be disguised in many different ways. It can be sowing, baking, writing, drawing, painting, scrapbooking, photography, the list goes on! The best thing about all these is that stay-at-home-moms can have a possible income from their crafts.
For example, sowing - handmade, unique baby items can be an easy and rewarding activity. To make a homemade nursing cover out of fabric and wire could take an experienced seamstress fifteen minutes to make and you can sell it online using eBay or Etsy for twenty dollars or more, depending on the nursing cover.
Another example could be using a free website host and sell personalized cupcakes. Give a gracious time period since it may take longer than expected to make two dozen cupcakes with a small baby at home. That way you're not pressured by a deadline and you can still have your creative outlet.
Photography can be a great way to get out of the house and get some great shots! Most moms have the camera on standby in order to catch those cute moments with Baby. Why not expand that? Stick the little one in a baby carrier and arrange to meet other moms or couples at a local park and take some great shots.
No matter what it may be, being a stay-at-home-mom boost your creativity. Moms that might not have considered themselves "crafty" before are finding that they certainly are now. The brain is constantly being exercised and taking in new information and adapting that new information into daily life. Who ever said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
