Mixing business calls with parenting is no small feat! As mompreneurs, we often find ourselves on important calls while our little ones play in the background. My approach? I establish 'quiet time' signals and prepare engaging, quiet activities that can keep them occupied. This strategy not only helps maintain a professional atmosphere during calls but also teaches my kids about work boundaries and the importance of respecting others' needs. It’s about finding creative solutions that work for your family. How do you manage to keep your kiddos quiet during important calls? Do you have specific activities or setups that help? Let’s share tips and support each other in mastering this balancing act!

Introducing children to basic business principles can be both fun and educational. For example, simple activities like a lemonade stand or a craft project can teach about costs, pricing, and customer service in a very hands-on way. In our home, we also use board games that simulate business decisions and discussions about money management. Of course it depends on your kid's age. My daughter is 6 years old and I find that she is starting to be very interested in earning and managing her own money and seeing her playing Monopoly is just so interesting! These activities not only keep them engaged but also creates a sense of curiosity and understanding about what mom (and dad) does and why it matters. It's about building a foundation for future skills and nurturing a entrepreneurial spirit from a young age, especially since school doesn't teach that that much... Parents, how do you incorporate lessons about entrepreneurship into your children's activities? What games or projects have you found effective in teaching these important concepts?

Integrating a child-friendly workspace in or near your home office can be a wonderful strategy for keeping your little ones engaged while you concentrate on work tasks. In our "kids' corner," I stock educational games, puzzles, and art supplies that foster independent play. I like to prepare an activity in advance, especially when I know I’ll need uninterrupted focus time. I explain to them that, unless it’s a real emergency, they should try to play independently for the next 20, 30, or 45 minutes. This setup does more than just keep them occupied; it also ignites their creativity and teaches them valuable lessons about independence and respect for others' commitments. By providing engaging activities, I show up for them, and by carving out this time, I also fulfill my commitments to my clients. How have you arranged a play area for your kids within your workspace? What are the essential items in your child’s creative nook that make it both functional and fun?

Mornings can make or break your day as a mompreneur. I've never been a morning person so I won't tell you that I wake up 2 hours before the kids to workout and prep the day, that would be lying... even though I tried for a while and sometimes I do it but very very rarely! Instead, I've crafted a 10-minute morning routine that I do when I am back from school and daycare drop-off. It includes gratitude journaling, reviewing my calendar for the day, writing affirmations and a quick visualization exercise. This routine grounds me and prepares me to face the hectic day with focus. What rituals help you kickstart a productive day? Share your morning routine and let’s inspire each other to rise and thrive! Poll: What's essential in your morning routine?
