    2020 Year in Review

    2020 has been a wash. It’s time that we will never get back, but we have no other choice and must move on. It’s a pretty different time to live in. A pandemic came with no set cure, people got quarantined in their homes, travel was non-existent for a few months…. Yeah, it was a really interesting year. Here’s a look back at our 2020: how we coped with the pandemic, what we did when we couldn’t travel, and other achievements.

    Work from Home with Baby Day in the Life

    This is a day in the life of a mom who works full time from home with a baby. It’s based on real life: my life.

Here’s a typical day in the life of a mom with a baby on a weekday. I’ve even written a different post on tips on how to survive working from home with a baby.
