Oh how I wish I could afford to only work part time and spend more time playing with TT outdoors. What are your thoughts on the juggling and balancing acts of parenting?

Work Life Balance vs Parenthood
Why are we so nervous to discuss how we balance our busy lives and parenting I wonder? I was thinking about this following a truly inspired series of musings and interviews on my most favourite blog A Cup of Jo. Do read it, it was for once refreshingly honest about how Jo, and seven other mothers she spoke to, balance raising a family with working, busy lives and time with loved ones. I have a similar set up as Jo, in that I often work from home and squeeze in hours to suit TT's routine. But I have to admit that hours devoted to play time, and only play time are few and far between. And almost only at weekends when we go out exploring. However TT gets so excited when Daddy Wild comes home and adores playing with him in the evenings, so it's not all deprivation of attention!
