Working from home seems like the dream doesn’t it? The best of both worlds, you get to be there for your kids and you are still generating an incoming and doing something you (hopefully) enjoy. While it is an ideal situation, it isn’t always easy. When you go out to an office job, it is easier to put the boundaries in place. You are not at home, so you can focus on your job. When your office is in your home or on your property, the lines become a little blurred and it can be a challenge to put those boundaries in place.
I have been running my business from home for 2 years. Emma was home for the beginning part of that and I have all 4 children home from 14h00 every day. It was easier in the beginning to be honest, my business was smaller, and the juggle was a little easier. It has gotten harder as my business grows and as my children’s school needs have intensified. David works from home as well, which does help and over the last year we have managed to work out a system that works for us.
The struggle to juggle is real though so I have put together 30 posts for moms who work from home on how I manage, some tips, tricks and even a few quick recipes to make for dinner, baker man and some tips for fitting in exercise.
It is almost impossible for those of us who want to be able to stay at home, to earn some form of income and contribute to the financial requirements of the home. It may seem daunting in the beginning, but it can be done, and it can be done with your sanity still intact!

I totally can relate!! I’m still, almost 2 years in trying to navigate this stay-at-Home Mom gig. These are awesome strategies and resources!!
Of all the stuff that I can get done, it’s the workout that I am really having a hard time to squeeze in. I’m trying my best though at least doing some exercise couple of times a week.
