I am the only female in my house. (Two boys, one husband, even the cat is a boy -- though he's fixed, so not sure where he falls on the gender continuum). Staff writer for environmental NGO, trying to balance being Mommy and being me.
I second what Claire said. I've been working from home since 1997 (writer) and though the freedom is great, it does have quite a few challenges. My oldest...

Hi
Cara.
Welcome
to
Work
it,
Mom!
It's
so
great
to
meet
you
--
and
you're
a
fellow
Floridian,
which
is
cool.
(I'm
in
Tallahassee.)
Love
your
website.
I
am
going
to
check
out
the
websites
you
recommend
in
your
latest
post.
I'm
so
envious
that
you're
into
kayaking.
That's
something
we
always
say
we'd
like
to
get
involved
in
one
day.
Do
your
boys
go
with
you?
Also
want
to
say
I
love
your
good
parenting
advice:
that
you'll
get
your
freedom
back,
but
your
kids
will
only
be
small
once.
This
is
something
I
will
try
and
remember
next
time
I'm
whining
about
my
little
toddler.
;)
I'm
a
moderator
here
at
WIM,
so
let
me
know
if
you
have
questions/feedback
for
the
team.
Have
a
great
day!
I'm so envious that you're into kayaking. That's something we always say we'd like to get involved in one day. Do your boys go with you?
