Balancing Time

[taramom11]

How do you balance your time whether as a WAHM or a SAHM? Does it get any easier as your kids get older?

Right now I have a 2.5 year old and a 7 month old. I work from home on various projects. For the most part, it seems like I just get small segments of time here and there until my husband comes home. Does anyone have any good suggestions on planning out your day in a productive way with little ones?

Once kids can entertain themselves a little easier, it gets easier to get things done without them needing your attention. ANd without having them needing to be babysat by the TV.

I like to rotate toys, so they think that they're getting new things every now and then, so it keeps them busy for a little longer.

Bribery works in my house. We say, if you let us do this for the next hour (and then we'll set a timer), then we'll go to the park, or we'll play candy land etc. Now that they are 8.7. and 3 its a bit easier. Older ones entertain the younger ones.

I don't work from home, but I do have chores to keep up on!
