[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It helps a lot to hear everyone's schedule and juggling strategies, thank you. DH and I are both pretty flexible in terms of working from home, we are not in 9-5 jobs so that helps in some ways (on the other hand work can take up as much time as there is). Problem is when we work from home, we tend to get sucked into just tidying one thing or running a load of this or that which really breaks the work flow...

Older child is in preschool from 8-4. When he gets home we cook and have dinner. Right now we have a ton of help with the baby, although I am WAH in order to nurse. I guess when I think about it, it's really the exhausting weekends, when we don't have help, and the feeling that my day is split up from all the nursing. I think it will be easier once the sleep consolidates and the naps get more regular. Baby is also 80% sleeping without being held this month, so that helps.

In terms of house supplies, we Amazon Prime a lot. I guess I am just always discovering that older child needs water shoes or younger one needs bibs or what not. I never feel on top of that stuff.

Will look into grocery delivery. Wish WFs had a curbside service.

OP, I posted very early on about being WAH and using subscription services a lot along with outsourcing.

If you're finding yourself doing housework when WAH, then you need to set up a space that's entirely yours for working. Ideally it's an office where you shut the door, but it could be a corner or what have you. You just need to make sure you've got a space where, similar to being in an office, there won't be house-related things to distract you. My office doubles as an exercise room, but the few dumbbells and elliptical don't create any mess, so this works fine for me.[/quote]
