some ups and downs of working from home with children

As I am writing this blog post I have been working from home for almost two months. I have thought a lot about the whole experience so far and I wanted to share a few of the ups and downs I've felt so far.

There are an incredible number of "ups" I could list about my experience of working from home but I will keep this short. Being your own boss has such a free feeling to it that I haven't completely adjusted to it. This isn't for everyone but for me, this is exactly where I need to be right now. I think in a few years when the kids are in school during the day I will open a little office space and hire an assistant. For now though, the grass roots stages of this little business I've started has me incredibly excited about the future. Whatever it is that you are passionate about, I hope you find a way to execute on that and make it your full time job like I have. 


​I always strive to have a good work / life balance. With two kids at home I want to make the most of this blessing and absorb all of the moments with them that I can. At the same I time I love what I do and in order to continue to do that I can't spend the entire day focused on the kids. This has been maybe the most notable transition I've made so far. Going from a quiet office to planting your desk in the middle of the chaos children can create is something that has changed the way I fundamentally work. I don't think I could go back to a work environment where something irrelevant to the job wasn't in need of attention frequently. Multi tasking is something I am learning to do all day long because I don't get the focus time to do all of my work in a set amount of hours. For someone who doesn't have young children at home I could imagine working from home being an entirely different experience. For me it has been the greatest blessing one could have. I've won the lottery in my book.
