JUGGLING WORK & A NEWBORN ADVICE

[cherishmom1]

 I am a mother of 1 daughter and a baby boy on the way. I currently work from home working on my daughters school schedule.Well when the baby get's here, I don't really know how to work from home with a newborn. The reason this is is because this job requires no distractions, no noise, and I am on the phones. I am aloud to pick my hours, but I just don't know if it is possible to work from home with my newborn baby there. If anyone has any advice on how to schedule work from home full time with a newborn baby, please give some feedback.

I have a three year old daughter and a seventh month old son and they both come to work with me. I run a Women's Wellness Center (my own business) and I somehow manage--I think. I am not sure about from home. Afternoon naptime is a quiet time for the center and me so I get to make all my phone calls and get a few things done. My daughter I keep busy in her playroom with toys, videos and educational assignments (yes, I homeschool at work, too). It is not easy but finding that moment of silence and down time is crucial for setting a routine.

You need your own home based business. Working from home only eliminates the cost of carfare or commuting. You still have the other restraints to deal with!
