We will all eat together and then after dinner, it is family time! What we do varies, but we like to spend this time together doing something fun. At this time my husband is leaving his job and on his way home. This is my favorite part of my work-from-home mom daily schedule., mainly because it is a nice break from a computer screen. Dinner and Family TimeĤ:30 PM is when I start dinner. Again, this isn’t usually my writing time, but a time where I do a little social media and maybe apply for a few sponsored campaigns. I will venture back into my office at around 3:30 PM to work on my blog for about an hour. Usually, I dedicate about an hour and a half to cleaning up and making the house look nice. Seriously though, if you focus you can get a ton done in a short amount of time. This varies from day to day but it usually consists of a load of laundry, tidying up, sweeping, vacuuming, or wiping down cabinets. Light Cleaningīefore I go back and do more work in my office, I like to spend a little bit of time doing some light cleaning. By then Willow is ready to relax and maybe watch some TV in the air conditioner. I usually end the daytime playtime around 2:00 PM. This will really make you feel better and you will end up being more productive. It is great to get outside and get moving for a while after sitting at a desk for hours. After we eat, I like to go play outside with them if the weather is permitting. This is when I take a break and make the kids and me some lunch. Lunch Breakīy noon, I am usually over looking at a computer screen for a while. I set aside this time because I look at my blog as a business and in order for it to be successful, I have to be dedicated to it. If I have time I will do some writing, but that is usually reserved for later in the day. This usually constitutes checking e-mails, participating in Facebook groups, and other general social media marketing. As part of my work-from-home mom schedule, I like to set aside 10:30 AM- 12:00 PM to work on anything blog-related. Since my web search evaluation is done at around 10:30 AM, the rest of my work time is dedicated to my blog. I will do one more hour of web search evaluations, and then I am done with that for the rest of the day! Blog Work By about 9:30 AM it is time to head back into my office. I try to spend a little bit of time playing after breakfast as well. The kids and I eat, and then I clean up the kitchen a bit. This is usually when I take a little break and make breakfast for us. Breakfastīy 8:00 AM, the kids are up and I am probably on my 2nd ( or 3rd) cup of coffee. It is only 4 hours a day so I work from 5:00 – 8:00 AM before the kids wake up. Since I am working part-time doing web search evaluation, I like to get that done and over early. I am able to drink hot coffee in peace while everyone else in the house is still asleep. That way it is ready as soon as I get up. I make my coffee at night and just set my pot on a timer to make. No lie, this was a hard adjustment but now I actually enjoy it. I am up around 4:45 AM every morning making my coffee. So as part of my work from home mom’s daily schedule, I get up early. That lifestyle is not conducive to being a mom though, especially a work-at-home mom. I used to be a bartender for many years so I was used to working late nights and sleeping all day. It has allowed me to bring balance back to my life and be more productive. Creating a schedule, and sticking to it, is what has saved me and my sanity. Add in a baby to the mix, and I became a bit overwhelmed at times. With only one child in the house, it wasn’t too bad. After researching legit work-from-home job opportunities, I ended up starting my blog and working doing web search evaluation. After getting pregnant with my son, I lost my job and had to do something in order to make ends meet. I never thought that I would be a work-from-home mom.
