I find that I’m as busy as my son since he started grade one. In fact, I think I’m busier than him cos I have to help him with powerpoint presentations for his Show and Tell in the last eleven weeks! It’s a good thing that I’m working from home and I can assist him in his work. Sometimes I wonder how those other working parents can find time to find their kids in their assignments amidst their busy schedules.

Well, my son has been very blessed indeed and I hope he grows up to remember that. I was able to work on the presentation with him sitting next to me and it wasn’t my favourite part of the week. Sometimes I try to get creative and offer a few ideas but I have forgotten that he is still a young boy. I’m glad term one is almost over and I trust that he’s enjoyed it so far. I felt emotional when he didn’t have a good day with his teachers or friends and often pray that they will appreciate him more and accept him for who he is. I myself have so much to learn in the area of acceptance. I’m always reminded by friends that our children grow up very fast and it will be no time that they will be sending out graduation announcements and we will look back and smile at the journey.

I’m always so thankful that I can walk this journey as I work from home. It has been made possible because of today’s powerful technology. With that, I will tap the resources out there and maximize my parenting time with him.

I don’t know about you but I always look forward to weekends even though we work from home. Weekends for us tend to feel more relaxed than the weekdays cos I don’t need to wake up early to prepare my son’s meals for the day! I don’t need to fetch him to school early, get him out of bed and rush through the daily errands. Weekends are free and easy and less stressful!

It’s a busy one for us today as we invited few relatives for a little house warming in our new home. They were impressed with our little home office and still couldn’t understand how we could make money from home. We cook a simple lunch for the group and I must say that the fellowship was better than all the food we had! They love to hear stories about our internet marketing experiences and we love to gather tips from these veterans about where to find the best food in the area! Food has a way to bring people together and they taste better when sharing is involved! Know what I mean?

It’s about quarter to eleven and my boys are asleep. I try to stay away from the home office on the weekends except for reading emails and otherwise, I’ll be doing some online shopping! I promise to search for some bridesmaid dresses for a friend who is getting married end of the year. Once that’s done, I’ll be taking a break from the home office and getting some early sleep and be well rested for tomorrow. It’s good to be all rested before the new week began… and I do hope you have a good one too!

My schedule has been full and busy since my son started grade one down under. I feel like I’m ‘going to school’ with him as I play a more pro active role as a work at home mom. It’s definitely helpful that I’m working from home since I tend to spend some time in the school every morning. I volunteer to help the class once a week and other times, I’m involving myself with other activities with other moms.

Some of his classmates have moms that work full time and I can see how much they yearn for their moms to come to class more often. This is definitely not possible for some families so I often remind my son to count his blessings that we can fetch him to and from school everyday. For without that, he would need to go on a school buy like some of his friends. Some of the moms I spoke to were hoping to find part time jobs that allow them to work short hours so that they can be in school to fetch their kids home. How they love to help with their daughters’ prom dresses when the school is organizing a party! Here in down under, many employers are very sympathetic towards working moms and that allows my moms to be out there working.

If given a choice, many moms would love a job that let them work from home. Freedom of time is much coveted by modern moms today who want to balance between work and family life. Hopefully there will be opportunities for working moms to maximize their potential yet retain this flexibility!
