I’m one of those who normally WFH (work from home), so being at home working is not (normally) a challenge for me. What is a challenge, is WFH with other people in the house. People who never leave. People who have to share the office space. Little people who ask a lot of questions, require feeding multiple times a day and now have us as their teachers (can we do more math??)!

However, I recognize just how lucky my family is during this time. We have an office space that we can use. My partner still has a job. It’s nice out! (in BC, it feels like it ALWAYS rains!)

What we’re trying to do is have some loose scheduling. This is the time we get up, this is school, this is outside time. There’s still lots of challenges though… (shh, I’m on a call! …. STOP fighting! … nope, no more TV/electronics/facetime….Can you teach them this?)

In honour of this “interesting” time in the world, I’ve gathered some articles on working from home…
