Is There A Such Thing As A Sexy Stay-At-Home Mom?

First off, let me say that yes, it is possible to be sexy as a stay-at-home (or in my case, a work-at-home) mom. I think. I'm pretty sure. Since I don't have many meetings (like three a year, maybe), I tend to stick to my work-at-home uniform: leggings and long T-shirt or tunic.
