Supporting the global community of work-at-home parents/people
You chose to work from home so you could spend more time with your family, right? How’s that working out for you? Do you sometimes feel like you have a love affair with your computer instead? When you work from home the boundaries between work time and family time are less clear cut, so if you want to honour the reasons you started a work at home business in the first place, you need to be self-disciplined.

Yesterday, I ducked down to the grocery store while I had the chance to go without the kids in tow. I ran into another mum I know and shared my joy at being able to experience such a rare event (going shopping alone that is) .

How do you ensure you have a productive day so that you can take time out for the important things… taking kids to the park, enjoying a cup of tea on the back deck while listening the rain, catching up with the people you care about.
