Making time to play with my daughter
Lately I’ve been glued to my laptop, even when my daughter’s home with me. It’s getting so bad that she grabs my hands to take them off the keyboard or the mouse. That’s one of the downfalls of having a home-based business. It seems like it’s always time to work.
But every so often it’s good to remember that our kids need to be kids.
So today we did something just for her. Last week we went to an open house for this place called “My Gym,” and she loved it! So I enrolled her, and we went today.
My daughter had so much fun! She got to run, play, jump on a trampoline, steal a Barney doll from another toddler, play in a pool of balls, and go down a slide repeatedly. She crawled through tunnels, hung from bars, and walked on a balance beam. Oh yeah…and dance. She loves dancing. I even got down on the floor and played.
If you have a home-based business, make sure to do things outside of your “office” with your child. That’s why we started our businesses. To have the freedom to spend time with our children, right?
Don’t forget to make the time to be a kid with your kids.

Hi, I agree that it’s important to play with your kids. With my kids I try to put aside a bit of the,every day this makes sure I get playtime with them and provides a bit of structure to their day.
