The idea of work life balance is so illusive. With a new baby due in two short months, I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately. Wondering how my current “balance” is going to be affected. I already have sleepless nights, so it can’t be that bad… right?! lol. When I met with some blogging friends for a quick getaway we got chatting about the importance of work life balance, and how it’s an ever-changing concept in our lives.
As you can see, “work” and “life” are pretty fluid over here. We renovate with our kids (in the safest way possible!), I craft with my kids, and our lives are generally intertwined with my work or blog life.
When I met with my bloggy friends – Colleen from Lemon Thistle, Christina from The DIY Mommy, and Kristi from Making it in the Mountains – we weren’t expecting to make extra work for ourselves (a.k.a. a giant video collaboration!), but the discussion was too good not to share! So naturally we sat down and filmed the whole thing…. lol.

I've been working from home for past ten years. I find that the boundaries between work and home aren't clearcut. Particularly I used to work in the living room with the laptop, and end up having to errands. Moving to a room upstairs helped a lot.
Nowadays, with my kids being ten and seven years old, I do drop off, pick ups and after-school clubs. I only get a solid 2-3 hours of work in a day.
