Struggling to Manage Work and Kids at Home? How Renting a Vacation ‘Home Office’ Can Help

Many of us have been forced to work from home with kids in tow. Parents who are in this situation have been trying all kinds of solutions, from swapping out work and kid time to setting “office hours” that are designated for work only.

If you’re still struggling to focus or simply need time for uninterrupted phone calls, another idea is to rent an Airbnb or a vacation property to use as a “home office” for a few days per week. Once you find the right space, these tips will help make sure your new work environment is safe. Sleepless Mom shares some resources that will help you maximize your productivity.

We know that there may be times when you still have the kids during work hours, though. That’s when you can turn to the best resources for keeping them entertained, active, and engaged. Use these tips as a guide, and don’t be afraid to try new ideas to find the right solution for your family.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
