Mom, in Part 1 we talked about the different high needs babies and the emotional and physical toll they can take on you. In this post, we are going to get very practical on how to homeschool and work from home with a high needs baby.

Mom, you are a momtrepreneur with a lot to juggle. It is already a balancing act to homeschool and work from home. But add a high needs baby to the mix, and it is a whole different kind of crazy to juggle. #highneedsbaby #difficultbaby #lifeunboxedblog

Babies are cute and cuddly, and their smile and coo and melts your heart. They also cry and poop, and get gas. And then some babies are cling-ons, velcro babies, koala bears. You name it. The point is they won't let go of you. When you put them down to go to the bathroom they arch their back and start screaming because how dare you walk away from them. Trying to work from home and homeschool your kids with a high needs baby is not an easy task.

Here is a slightly different coffee chat. I wanted to give you a glimpse into a day in the life of a work from home and homeschool mom. There is never a dull moment. Here are some snippets from the day of a work from home mom, homeschool mom, and momtrepreneur.

From kids doing schoolwork to jotting down inspiring ideas on the go to the baby signing Friday because it annoys her brother. Trek with me during my day. Yes, most of it was spent in the car, but every YouTuber needs at least one video where it is recorded in the car. This is a real-life glimpse of the busy life of a work from home and homeschool mom. This is totally unscripted. 

I tried to capture as much of my different days as possible, but the reality is that I have stuff to do, and it is hard to capture everything. 

Remember to watch this week's show, How to become a Virtual Assistant, if you too want to be living your day-to-day dream life. You can support the show with coffee! I will see you in the next show.

Join a mom book club is a great way to connect. To be honest, I am introvert so joining a group thing is not something that I do very often. If I am going to get out, I would prefer one-on-one over coffee. So in a group sharing my thoughts is not my preference whatsoever. But even for me, the introvert who doesn't do stuff like this, really gets a lot out of it and enjoys it.

 If you are hesitating to join a mom book club or you don't know if there is one in your area, then you can start one.

Whether you are mom of toddler, teens, or somewhere in between. Every season with our kids has its own kind of busyness. Then if you run the gambit of age ranges, you are always busy. Let's add to the fact that you are working from home with kids. We are busy. It is always helpful to hear from other moms when it comes to their time management hacks. 

Yes, you are a busy mom and you know how to manage your time. Or at least survive your day. But sometimes we need to hear other moms' "ah ha" moments or "where have you been all my life" moments. 

I asked a number of moms to give me their best time management hack, and now I get to share these tips and tricks with you, which I am very excited about.

Hey moms, let us pull back the curtain on the momtrepreneur life and get a real-life glimpse on what it is like to be a momtrepreneur. All the balancing and juggling that comes with it. Grab your coffee, in your favorite mug, and let's talk about how to work and school when everyone is sick.

 I wish we could schedule in the best time to get sick. It would be really helpful to just write it out on the calendar. Then we can avoid being sick on birthdays, like I was, and just better plan it out.

Unfortunately, that is just not the case so how do you handle work and school?

Every mom has a war story…I mean birthing stories. And it is as individual as your kids. When you are pregnant and trying to figure out how you want to deliver your bundle of joy, it helps to hear other's stories. 

There are a few things that I can look back in hindsight and think, "I wish I had done that a little differently." Not that I can change it, but I can share with you what I've learned from my own  experiences.

It has been 1 year since I officially launched this blog. I first posed this question—how to make money with blogging, can it still be done—last year. Like all first year anniversaries, it is a good time to reflect and see what has been learned and the growth gained. I can only describe this past year as a year of growing pains. This has been an exciting and sometimes painful process.
