We know of many companies that will allow you to work from home, spend more time with your kids, have fun, and best of all - MAKE MONEY! Let's be honest, we all want to make more $$$ and why not do it from the comfort of your own home? We set out to put something together to give the Macaroni community a few options in an article.

Simply Fun Games 



At SimplyFun we believe that Play is the best way for children to learn.  We also believe that playing together is an important way to build strong family bonds.  We know that the experience of our Playologists who are parents and educators just like you, can help you build strong academic, social and emotional skills in your family.
Parents would be surprised how often the child can do the first skill but not the second one.  Sequencing is a key skill in both early reading and in early math.  We know that our products can help parents help their kids, whether their children are gifted, exceptional, challenged or just plain normal!  Each child can still take a step forward in developing their skills from where they are today, and we know how to make that step FUN. – Contact Nathalie for more information.

Younique



A friend of mine recently showed me the most amazing mascara- Younique 3D mascara and I immediately loved it. I have never sold anything in my life but I liked the product that much that I decided to give the company a try. 

I'm a full time rehab manager in the city and have 2 young kids. You can put as much or as little time into this as you can. It's been nice to have extra money on the side.

Younique products are very good and the quality is high end. Younique is known for their mascara but they have a wide variety of eye shadows, lip gloss and lip stains, facial products, liners and much more. -- Contact Rachel for more information.
