Work life balance

Filed Under: Motivated Moms Tagged With: working mom Leave a Comment

During the work week, we delicately balance a hectic work life with an important but busy family life. 
Our family is our top priority. But both Nathan and I are committed to our work also. 
I work from home when I do not have business travel which has been extensive lately. However I love my home office life and the flexibility it provides me. I could not go back to a daily office grind, commuting or the office chatter. And the best advantage to a home office is…
on a weekday like yesterday afternoon when the girls came home at lunch from daycare with Nathan and took naps while I worked.
Anika didn’t sleep as long as I had hoped but she was my content office buddy.
First in my lap.
Then with her toys and her best friend, a green nuk.

Then while I was on two separate conference calls, she just scooted all around the office playing with the mat and toys I set out for her. 

It was the perfect ending to a work week, having the best office mate I could ask for and reminding why I love the work life balance we are blessed to have.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
