Good for you, Rebecca. I am so glad to hear anyone be able to make it work at home. I just couldn’t imagine missing all these days with my little girl. I already miss too much of her life as it is.

Yes I cherish these few short years I have home with my two little girls. Recently I found a way to work from home by using my blog to showcase my craftwork. As a full time Mum theres no way I would get to market my work to craft shops, or attend craft and trade shows as my husband does with his work. I don’t mind at all, its a small sacrifice to make for these few precious years with my girls. Little did I know the power of the blog, which is allowing me to reach out worldwide with my work. I have 3 mornings a week free now when I can work at home as my youngest daughter is now at playschool those 3 mornings, and my older daughter just started school in September. The years of flying at some speed!

I work 4 half days at the preschool. I would rather work 2 full days and have off the rest of the week though. Four days of getting ready for school and packing their stuff makes the week seem more tiring. I was working 5 days a week, but cut back to 4. I’m glad I did. I couldn’t find time for doctor’s appointment and errands. I can’t do my errands after work b/c they’re both ready for a nap. Oh well, this is working for us right now.

I’m also lucky to work just 2 days a week. I thinks it allows for a wondeful balance between being a mommy and being an adult. I think I need that time away from my kids so I can miss them and appreciate them more when we’re together.

Amen, sister! I am fortunate to have been a SAHM for a while with both of my kids. Now I work part-time at the preschool where they attend. Even though I don’t make much money, I really enjoy that I can keep an eye on them. Parents who work full-time definitely have a huge responsibility. It’s just important that they sacrifice some other areas for being with their kids. They could sacrifice cleaning the house and get a housekeeper or they could sacrifice cooking for take out. Hiring a teenager on the side is a big help. They want to earn a little money and be a help to you.
