If you want to work from home and homeschool your kids, then time management for moms who work from home is going to be your secret weapon.

The post will not be the normal time management for moms who work from home. You know things like how to prioritize your time to get more done. Or how to magically multiply your time.

But knowing how to divide your time, organize your tasks, create habits and plan to get things done is the secret sauce for a successful homeschool and work from home business.

Do you despise how self-care is always presented? I do. What if there was a better way to do it? You can embrace your creative life to improve your mental self-care.  

So I’m not a fan of the self-care mantra. At least how it is presented on Instagram. But I do understand the need for moms to unplug and take the mental load off. That is where the creative life comes in, and you don’t need to be creative to do it. 

If you cringe every time you think about self-care, then keeping listening. I'm going to give you practical self-care tips that aren't cringe worthy.

The best way to learn is by learning through experience. But this is also the most frustrating way to learn.  

How do you keep going when you fall down again and again over the same thing? You keep going by learning from experience. 

I get so frustrated when something doesn't work right. I don't have time to figure out the problem. It's just supposed to work. But looking back, it is these moments that have taught me the most.  

It forced me to look deeper into how things work. Start to understand functionality intimately. When you have to figure out a solution to a problem, that is not a quick Google search, you learn in a broader and deeper way. You come up with a 1000 solutions of how it doesn't work. And in the process, figure out how it works.

Book club is a sanctuary for homeschool moms. It is a place for literature lovers to come together and share their thoughts. If you aren’t in a book club or want to get one started, this is for you. 

I’ve been part of a book club for a few years now, and the best part is the intellectual stimulation I get from hearing other viewpoints on a book. My favorite part, is we love to read weird books because the book club meetings are more about the conversation than the books we read. Trust me, we’ve read some weird ones.  

This post is going to be all about books you can add to your book club list.

The goal of any business is to get bigger. Every business book, blog, YouTube channel, and podcast is designed to teach you to grow your business. But as you grow a bigger business, is it also possible to grow a bigger family?

 Many people don’t think this is possible. That creating a business and growing a bigger family should be separate and compartmentalized. But let’s break all the rules, if you want to be with your kids and grow a bigger family, and have a successful business…you can. #biggerfamily #growingabusiness #lifeunboxedblog

I am all for dreams and goals that you want to pursue. These are necessary to help give direction and purpose for to your life. But I want to broaden the scope of what these dreams look like and what it means to be chasing them and pursuing your passion. Sometimes what you are passionate about just won't pay the bills. So it is time to rethink what we've always been told about dreams and passion.

Personal boundaries is always a hot topic amongst work from home moms. But it doesn’t mean it is easy to do.  

One of my biggest peeves is posts that suggest an idea without giving practical steps on how to do it. This post is going to give you all the actionable steps on how to set personal boundaries for your work from home and homeschool life. 

We are going to explore the idea, and you will also walk away with a bunch of how-tos to get started on defining your own personal boundaries.

We need to upend all our ideas on the right way to work and school. If you want to break from the 9-5, be your own boss, raise your kids, and enjoy your life. Then you need to start a business working from home.

The struggle against these cultural norms is real. But you can be a rebel mom and create a different legacy for you and your kids. 

 Yes, I know what you are thinking (because I’ve thought the same thoughts). Is working from home hard? What business can I start? Can I really make money? On and on the questions go. Tumbling through your mind like circus performers that just won’t stop. Here are my 10 tips working from home.
