How I Balance Work and Motherhood

I’m writing this post with a baby asleep on my lap, which pretty much sums up my current situation as a working freelance mother. Olive is at forest school today and Ash, being only seven weeks old, spends most of his time asleep, so days like this are very exciting because I can actually get a delicious chunk of work done as long as I’m not enveloped by the grey mist of procrastination (it’s extraordinary how much I want to hoover the conservatory windowsills when I have a deadline to meet). In honour of International Women’s Day this week, and as part of my celebrating five years freelance, I thought today I would write about my ongoing mission to balance work and motherhood!
