I recently switched to very part-time employment so I could spend more time at home with my kids. I know we’ll need time to figure out our routines, but how can I make this go smoother? Today, for example, there’s a blizzard and we can’t go outside or drive. How do I balance having some fun quality time with them and getting something done around here?? Every day I stay home with them, I feel like the house gets trashed OR I clean and we get no time together (defeating the purpose). Anyone have some practical tips for making this go a little more smoothly….thanks!
