HI! I’m a blog from work mom. I”m sure not many people fit into my category. I have an amazing job where I have internet access and can be on line when I’m on hold or waiting around to do my job. I work 20 hours a week and limit myself to blogging and reading blogs only while at work. If work gets busy, sometimes my blog gets neglected, but when it’s slow at work, I pre-write entries and schedule them to post later on. This really works for me. I know I would have a hard time balancing family time and blog time if I did it from home. I love some of your ideas, and I’m always trying them out with my own kids! Thanks for your work!

How cool! I love Today’s Mama and their handbook is one of my favorites. I’m kind of a part-time blogger. But I definitely agree…doing what you love makes it worth each day. I prioritize my most important responsibilities and go from there…I don’t usually get through all of them, but what can you do? :)

I’m definitely a stay at home blogger. Although recently, one of my blogs has “taken off” enough that I’m getting paid to do work for large companies. So, in a way I’m both a WAHM and a SAHB. It takes a lot of work, much more than I ever imagined. And I have to follow a schedule too.

I’m both of those! Great feature. Some days I ask myself that same question, how do you do it. It just works for us, it’s hard work for sure, but worth it. Organization is key!

Hi Marie – I’m not a blogger – but I have to comment. Thank you so much for the energy you put into your blog. I really admire your site for its positive focus. You do a super job of making moms feel great about doing little things with their kids. I can always find something of value on your blog. Thank you so much for keeping your blog a warm, and positive place to visit every day. I think it’s great that you involve your kids so much in the projects…this makes me think “I could do that with my own kids!”

I am in a transition phase in my blogging right now, so I’m all about trying to strike a balance.

I am a SAHM, but blogging and my Etsy shop kind-of-sort-of make me a little WAHM.

(Wishy-washy, right? Yeah, that would be my lack of balance!)

Loved the article. I use my blog as an outlet to the outside world, becuase my husband works long hours and commutes and hour so he’s goine quite a bit. I do lots of crafts too and so it makes it fun for the kids. I love your blog and I love your ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I loved your spotlight on Today’s Mama – we really aren’t the Mom’s we knew growing up! I think it is very important that you pointed out – when you’re doing what you love your whole household is happy!
