I don’t know about you, but my office is my house. I move from room to room monitoring my kids (age 1 and 3). I may be typing away one moment and eating a plastic cookie and drinking air the next.

Uninterrupted work time is reserved for early mornings and evenings. When I get frustrated, I remind myself every day that I chose this life so I could be with my kids.

My business is thriving because of two factors:

  1. my clients know up front that I am working at home with small kids
  2. and I am very careful as to the type of work I take on.

It is very hard to meet deadlines in this type of environment.
