How I Juggle Working From Home With Children

Working from home can often seem like the dream, can’t it? Roll out of bed and start work in your pyjamas, no commute, your home comforts at your fingertips and flexible working hours. It really can be, but if you are also a stay at home parent it can throw quite a few curve balls your way!

*Collaborative Post

You want to change your career but you’re not really sure if you should place your eggs in one basket just yet, so what do you do? Fear not, you’re certainly not alone in this kind of thinking as many people already have complicated lives.

Perhaps you wish to have a great party to help everyone wind down at the end of the year? Maybe you wish to celebrate a business milestone, or maybe you wish to present your business at a trade show?
