Carrie and Danielle: Why My Daughter Has Crayola Tattoos or, Balance and the Work at Home Parent

    I just started an office job after 4 years of working at home. Although I miss my two little boys like crazy, the experience of hours of quiet, focused time is quite thrilling! I've got to look into a slow cooker.

    Woohoo!!! Sounds like my life and I LOVE it. Except, of course, for the moments that occur around 6 in the evening when both kids need to be bathed, I still have 3 articles to write, I forgot to thaw the meat that goes in our dinner, and my husband calls to say he has to work a little late... Ooooh yeah, we have our moments.
    I have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 1 yr old and #3 due in April. I get about 20 - 25 hours of work in per week, if I'm lucky. Organization is BIG. I'm still figuring out lots of 'tricks' that work. I will definitely be trying the 15 minute idea. :)

    I don't even work at home and I can relate to your Dora moments in the closet! Kudos to you Sandi, you sound like you're juggling it all with wit and grace (although I'm sure it doesn't always feel that way!) Thanks for the great article...

    I can so relate. I run a website from home while also parenting a 5 year old and a 18 month old. I'm looking forward to him going to kindergarten, because it means more time for me, but I'm dreading that my 'baby' is old enough to go to kindergarten.
