I love to paint, write, and take photographs. I love to witter about these on my blog http://onenicelittleearner.blogspot.com and on my Twitter feed @PhoenixMrsB. I sell original artwork and prints, and also work as an independent Phoenix trader, both of which I'm building up in order to be a work-at-home mum once my baby arrives in October. Learning lots of business tips along the way, I'm sharing these with my readers in the hope of inspiring others that there's another way to be than the 9-5 office job.
