My little one is sick today. I got the call from her daycare (she goes in 3x a week) that she had a fever and chills and was calling my name (talk about heartache!). I left right away to go rescue my little girl. She’s now sitting on the couch with her books and milk and watching Dora. I plan, after I finish this blog, to take the rest of my work day to be with her. Not exactly easy to take time off when I’m up to my ears in projects, but she always comes first, and she’s my main reason for working from home.

I know many of you on here are work from home parents, or seek to become ones. In light of today’s events that served as a reminder on what the work from home mom (and dad) job can be like, I thought I’d post for you some pretty cool resources for today’s work from home parent.
