Working From Home. A Mommy's Dream.

When I started working from home with my custom cake business, I had a new born, a one year old and a two year old. Needless to say, creating a work-life balance was step number one.

There's only really two things you need to run a successful home business when there's kids around. A great private office and a sturdy reliable baby gate. First I had to get an office. You know, for all my business calls. A quiet place, where the kids constant screaming wouldn't interrupt my client's experience. Ah! There it is! Perfect...

It echoed, yes, but mommy's can't be choosers.

Then I had to figure out how to keep the kids and the work separated. I couldn't have them around the cakes you know? So I went out and spent top dollar on a top of the line baby gate.

I've been meaning to write a very strongly worded letter to the makers of that baby gate.
