Today I'm having my first ever guest blog post. Lesley Graham is a dear friend of mine and a very talented seamstress and blogger. Please head on over and check out her amazing creations in her new Etsy shop.
Hello Between Blue and Yellow readers! I'm Lesley. Kathleen and I go way back to high school (actually middle school, but we weren't friends then). When she asked me to guest post, I was a little stumped on what to talk about because she is miss DIY (her furniture pieces amaze me) and I'm DIsometimesmaybe. One thing we definitely have in common is that we are both working from home while raising kids. This year I'll be putting all of my extra energy into my new shop, Tiny Fete, while keeping up with my three year older daughter, Matilda.

A few things I've learned in my first week of working from home:
Did I leave anything out that some of you pros want to school me on? I'm ALL ears. - Lesley
Thanks, Kathleen!
Boy, that getting dressed right away would do the trick! I'm going to start doing that starting tomorrow-because pjs create a feeling of "let's hunker down!"
ReplyDeleteMy tip-which I haven't been following so well-is to make sure you wake up at least a half hour before your kiddos. An hour or more is ideal. That way you get some time to greet the day before the rush of the kids. I'm sure most do this but with my early risers, sometimes I'm barely awake when they burst on to the scene!:)
Going to check out this furniture!!
