Any work-from-home mamas out there?

I do design and photography from home full time and am excited to sort of mold that around baby when they come in fall! Any other mamas who work from home?

I work from home sporadically (sometimes I go into the office, sometimes I stay home). I was working mostly from home after our daughter was born until we could get her into daycare full time. It's a lot harder to work with the baby around than I thought, especially when I'm on deadline!

Me :wave:. I work for a summer school, during the summer (6 weeks) I'm based at school but the rest of the year I work from home. It is definitely not easy going! But I'm really grateful I get to be at home with my LO's.

I´m a self-employed home tutor. I work part-time from home evenings and weekends when DH can look after our DDs.

Awesome! I'll be having family watch LO a lot and I think I can actually get most of my work done in about half the time i take normally, if I truly just don't do anything else! Any tips?

I work from home, I'm self employed. I'll be working while minding the baby, should be interesting! If I'm really stuck I can get most of my work done when my husband is home in the evenings and late at night, but will need childcare about one day a week, which will hopefully be my mil who lives nearby, otherwise I'll need to find someone locally, but paying someone would impact my wages quite a bit.

I do classes when DH comes home from work and Saturday morning and do extra work on Sunday/evenings. I used to able to get quite a bit done whilst DD1 was very small as she would take longish naps. Now, however, there are two of them and DD1 doesn't nap during the day so I can't work during the day anymore. I am quite efficient with my time and prioritise.

I just started working from home this week. I was supposed to go back to work this Monday but then I got pregnant so, luckily, my boss is letting me do everything here so that I can juggle that and my LO.

DD2 has been pretty good this week (probably because the older kids are back in school so everything's much more calm in the house).

I work full-time at an office job, but also work part-time from home at an internet-based company. I'm not a mama yet, just a mama-to-be, but I am clinging to the work-from-home gig as though my life depends on it, because I can put in extra hours to start saving up, and hopefully work it while I'm doing maternity leave from the main job.
