I was able to take my office job home with me for 14 months and it was an eye opening experience. I was unable at the time to convince them to let me do a long term work from home arrangement so I left the company to work for myself and we moved to a smaller town. Since then I have been doing some writing, some other projects, and helping my wife with her photography business. The main reason for this change was to spend more time with our family and we happily gave up a lot of our unnecessary consumption. I would happily return to my original employer but only if I could work from home the majority of time. The real motivation for my work at home series was to show the benefits for companies to allow employees to work from home as I feel this is a great way to retain good employees and allow them to live a slower, more family based lifestyle. I hope this helps Lacey,

You did reply to my message I had wrote you yesterday and I have read 1 - 4 of your blog. I was wondering if you could tell me how you actually made working from home for yourself work. What exactly do you do to get paid etc... Please get back to me when you get a chance. Thank you Hi Martin –

Kids are playful this days just like my son who is so hyperactive. I think the best way to make sure you can concentrate on your driving without worrying about your son is to divert their attention. If you can't make your kid sleep, then just let them watch movies. Make sure you have their favorite movies with you.

I would have wanted them to enjoy the scenery but for now, with their young minds and brimming energy, I'd prefer them sitting down, eyes glued at the monitor in the car, watching their favorite cartoons while I hit on the gas pedals.
