Hi Everyone! My name is Ivy, and I am a work at home mom. I recently started my own business so that I could stay home with my boys since day care is SO expensive, but I am having trouble getting work done during the day. I work parttime at night, and when I get home I am exhausted. I just don't know how to organize my day and to balance between work and my boys. I have a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old. They are constantly wanting my complete attention. If I don't give it they scream. Any advice or help would be great. Thanks so much!

| It's hard to give specific advice without knowing what type of business that you have but, I do a lot of my work when my daughter is napping. I also make calls while she's eating or I hold her on my lap and let her play with something. I know it's hard though. My daughter is 16 m/o and runs all over the place while I try to get things done. I don't think there's an easy solution for any of us!! :) |

| I don't really have any specific advice for you ... just wanted to say I know how you feel ... if I don't have a 4 year old yapping my ear off while I'm trying to send an email or be on the phone, I've got an 8 month old crying! Nap time doesn't really work for me either b/c my older daughter doesn't nap & my 8 month old won't sleep unless I'm holding her! They're both spoiled rotten! lol |

Hi Ivy,
My children are a little bit older than yours 3,4,5, and 10. But I do know how you feel about trying to balance everything. I also work part time outside the home, while trying to get a home based business up and running. If you figure it our can you let me in on the secret! (smile)

I have told my girls to expect that I need to work a few hours a day so I can stay home with them. It *usually* works...but can still be a challenge.
