Job Working Moms

Traveling for work can be an exciting and stressful time both at home and at the office. Preparing to be away from the office (or whatever your workplace) can be time consuming all by itself. Let alone when you add in the mix of your family and personal life that has to be altered as well.

When it comes to leaving your family for a few days, you want to be sure to plan for it ahead of time. Especially if this is your first time away for an extended period of time. There are plenty of tasks you'll need to complete for work before, during and after the trip. But what about the steps that need to be taken at home?

What does my child do during the day? How did she sleep? Did she eat a lot? How was her mood? Is she going to be wide awake, or dead tired tonight?

As a full-time, working parent, and Type-A mom, I'm sure these questions have crossed your mind. Whether you take your child to daycare, have in-house childcare, or whatever the situation, you want to know what your child does while you're away all day. It is beneficial for both you and your providor, and will help to ensure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to the health and development of your child.

I am "Wonder Woman"... all things to all people. I should be able to be super-mom at home, right? Keep the house clean, make sure my daughter is fed and clean, shop, do chores and generally keep the family happy. And what about work? No problem, right? Attend meetings, manage development projects, work on SEO projects, scope projects, make sure developers, Project Managers and everyone else in between is happy. Shouldn't be too difficult, right?
