Hello Moms!
I hope everyone is enjoying summer vacation! This is one of the most rewarding parts of being able to work from home. Actually spending summers with our family... we really have the opportunity to help our kids create treasured memories.
Summer has it's challenges though -- let's be honest! Little kids at home means big noise at home. Getting work done can be a challenge.
Balancing family, work and housekeeping is a daunting and ongoing dance. Notice housekeeping is last on my list?! If that's a struggle for you too I highly reccomend that you check out FlyLady. I have no affiliation with her - she's just really put together a great system that helps get your life in order!
Balancing work and kids -- now that is something I can give you some advice on! A lot of women who pursue Virtual Assistance as a career option find that phone calls are inevitable! They are. It's my least favorite part of my work because it's really next to impossible to maintain a professional sounding office with children in the house.
What I have found is when there is a balance... that is, the kids don't feel like they've been last fiddle for days on end, they are much better behaved when you have to make phone calls! Come over to the FreelanceMom Blog for some of my tips on balancing work and family -- and making those dreaded phone calls!
Do you have some tips? Please share them! Either comment at the blog or post them on this forum thread we have going about balancing work and family.
