Blog Slacker!!
I confess…..I have been a horrible slacker when it comes to Mommyzing. I recently just made the transition from being a stay at hom mom to a full time working mom! Right now, I am working on trying to find a good balance between working and spending as much of my spare time as possible with my daughter, and blogging. Oh, and not to mention the other stuff like housework, paying bills, etc.
I will say that the transition has been better than I expected for me and for my daughter. My daughter is going to a sitter during the day and loves playing with the other children at the sitter. She is the only girl in a small crowd of three other boys…she is having a blast and seems to be holding her own just fine! I miss her during the day, but I also know she is having fun at the sitter and getting some great social experience.
I would love to hear from all of you with suggestions or tips on how you balance your time between your kids and the work you do, whether it is a full time job, part time job, or anything else that you have to balance in life!
Keep checking back too, I am no longer going to be a blogging slacker!

Julie, I have been a stay at home mom and I have also worked while having children. I went back to work when Thomas was 10 weeks old. I worked until he was about 18 months old and then decided to stay home. The main reason was that I had another baby and the cost of child care is insane! I think it’s easier if you have private care but it’s a lot harder to find. I was lucky enough to have people I know keep Thomas. I love staying at home but I also love working. Just know that you are a great mom no matter what! Good luck with the new job.
