One of the most difficult things about being a work at home mom (WAHM) is setting priorities. This is especially difficult during the summer, when there is no school to take the kids away and provide you with a block of solid work time. Over at Home Biz Notes, a guest post by Jan Ferrante explores this WAHM balance:
Without great, concentrated effort, the boundaries between work and
home responsbilities and more importantly… priorities… can become
fuzzy. The fallout comes down ironically upon the things that we wished
to protect – our time with our children and family.
I also enjoyed a post by Queen of Spain, Erin Kotecki Vest, regarding being a WAHM — and the mommy guilt that can sometimes come with it. She has a great post on the babysitter she hired for the summer. And, honestly, that seems like a good solution. Having someone help out for a few hours can leave you more quality time with your loved ones when the work is done.

Jill,
You've posted a very good point here! One of the most crucial steps in being a WAHM is having great organizational skills. This will avoid the clutter and confusion that can lead to priorities getting all messed up. A babysitter is a fantastic way to avoid these issues.
