Parenting has been extremely challenging for me lately. For many work at home moms, our time management is crucial to ensure a productive day as we balance between work and our family life. But when our children get fussy and cranky, it can disturb more than just our work, it can take a toll on us emotionally, mentally and even physically.

I’m one work at home mom who believes that we should take time to care for our physical health. I know that some of my friends have a gym to go to for a good workout before heading back to their home office. I look forward to my Pilates class every week where I can take a break off work and do something for my body. As I improve on my breathing and muscular movements, I feel confident and upbeat about work and life. I feel mentally stronger and alert as I embark on a hectic schedule of any work at home mom.

This afternoon, I have to take some time to settle some home matters including getting a broken fan fixed and an insurance quote for the family. When you work at home, it’s important to make sure everything at home works fine and dandy. Hopefully the challenges I face can ease off as the weekends draw nigh. It looks like I need more sleep and abit outdoor activities and I sure hope the weather improves by then.
