I'm glad I don't have a smartphone, that would be even worse. I have 2 kids, I'm approaching 30 years old, we've made a lot of sacrfices likewise for me to be home with them. But now that I've launched my own online business, I end up working when they are asleep and in turn I get very little sleep. But at least my time is mostly devoted to them during the day. I hope you share more articles like this, your little bits of wisdom as a mom whose kids are grown up and you already have grandchildren of your own!Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724231213036548575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-82430813717250750072012-07-21T10:44:31.191-04:002012-07-21T10:44:31.191-04:00Reading to your kids... what a fabulous idea!Reading to your kids... what a fabulous idea!Green Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988134199408897833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-53181188248730659022012-07-21T10:43:45.343-04:002012-07-21T10:43:45.343-04:00You're welcome.

The biggest challenge of being a work at home mom is finding balance. Some days I catch myself doing exactly what you're describing, and my kids are only 2 and 4. It's at those moments that I typically close my computer and play. Speaking of which, time to go read them some stories ;-)Chrystal @ Happy Motheringhttp://www.happy-mothering.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-28865018008229775112012-07-20T16:48:45.063-04:002012-07-20T16:48:45.063-04:00Thank you for your honesty Hana!

The topic of blog...Thank you, thank you, thank you. The topic of blogging with small children in the home is heavy on my heart.<br /><br />I almost stopped blogging at the end of last year because it had taken over. A bit of my selfishness kept me going and now it's taken over again. I think far too many moms are neglecting (yes, I said it!) their young children and babies for their blogs. I would know, because I'm guilty of it too. I only have one son, no other job or major responsibilities and even I am not giving proper time and attention to my son in order to make my blog successful. But for what? Surely the money IS NOT worth it. A few hundred a month in cash and products for hours and hours each day? It's simply addicting and my way of connecting to other moms I think. I need to find a local moms group and find a way to connect with other moms in person and to include my son so he can actually play with other kids. I don't want the mommy guilt to eat me up any longer so I'm pretty sure my blog will not continue past what sponsors and events I've committed to past August. That's it.<br /><br />I'm writing this anonymously because I'm honestly embarrassed at what I've let myself come to through my blog. I have thousands of followers through every social network, but for what? I KNOW more moms have this guilt. I know we all want to feel successful and have that outlet, but our success should be measured through OUR CHILDREN. Don't let your blog take over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-58147090057916932202012-07-20T13:31:40.764-04:002012-07-20T13:31:40.764-04:00Yes yes and yes.

I regret playing on my phone during nursing sessions instead of being present in the beautiful fleeting moment. And, I am getting off of the computer to go play with my two boys now- My blog can wait. :)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153198523455057095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909575150882551215.post-35125709414022076322012-07-20T13:30:53.215-04:002012-07-20T13:30:53.215-04:00I love this!
