Considering consulting or freelancing?

It has been a very long time in between posts - sorry!

The last few months have been incredibly busy with my business stepping up a notch. It has been a challenging juggle attempting to fit around the kids, who are only in daycare two days a week. It has meant many late nights of working once the kids go to sleep and a few boring weekends, but these are the things you have to do if you want to run a business and have a good balance with kids.

While I am not actively looking for work, the work seems to be finding me at the moment. I guess a nice position to be in, but it is often hard to say no too.

But I have been lucky that I know so many wonderful professionals that I have been able to refer a lot of the work to that I can't take on.

For anyone considering marcoms or PR consulting or freelancing, there is an abundance of work out there and doesn't seem to be letting up.

It just shows how valuable your network of contacts are!

The Juggle

I am about to discover tomorrow how to juggle a working day with school holidays!

Jackson moved from daycare to pre-school in February and of course a few weeks later I took on a contract. This now means Jackson has school holidays off. I am sure he can be kept entertained with his train set, the odd movie and drawing/painting. Let's hope!

At least Madeline is in daycare - she is the more demanding one!

Working, working, working!

After a slow start to the year on the work front, it is now pouring in - yikes! The moment I mentioned that I needed to take on some more work, the floodgates opened. Certainly a great place to be, but now I am just trying to juggle it with the kids.

Madeline is about to start in daycare two days a week .......... it's time! No fun for her crawling around and entertaining herself while I work.
