Do I need to buy insurance to start an alteration and design business?

My mom lives in Chicago, Illinois and plans on starting an alteration and fashion design business. She is going to be working out of her home to keep the cost down. I know that insurance is always needed when starting various types of businesses but we are unsure as to whether she needs to select some form of insurance for this type of business, specially since she’s starting it from home. As stated she lives in Chicago, Illinois. I would greatly appreciate any information and/or any tips and advice.

Thanks a million.

New mom – stay at home or back to work?

I am a new mom and I am trying to decide between being just a stay at home or going back to work. How can I make money & keep my sanity if I do decide to stay at home? After all, in this economy, every little bit will help. With the new baby, I will sure have to spend more money on a daily basis. Here is my situation in case anyone has any advice.

I have a newborn baby boy at home. My husband and I are unsure of whether or not I should go back to work full time, part time, or stay at home. I am leaning towards staying home, as I do not want a nanny to raise my baby. If I do stay ay home though money will be very tight and I might also miss the adult interaction of work. Is it foolish for me to think that spending quality years with my son is more important than not having to worry about money??? I guess I am wondering:

1) if anyone has experience jumping into the world of being a stay at home mom, or

2) if anyone has any experience working from home?

Thank you in advance.
