    oooh, this great!
    I work from home, baking and decorating cookies
    Love my job, DP hates it (my little "hobby") he thinks I dont spend enough time with him, which is a bit sad....but I'm not his slave. (and thats what he means, I dont DO enough for him anymore!)
    DS is good, these days I know he wont touch my decorating stuff, or my cookies (have woken up a few mornings previously to find DS munching away on a order..grrr!!!)
    I love that I can spend time with him, when I've had enough I'm just like, right, lets got the park, walk down the beach etc... often I will stop at the BIG park on the way back from the PO, which he loves.
    I try to get all my baking and icing done during the day now, working in hourly blocks,(with breaks in between for food and DS) baking all gets done Monday, base coating if I can fit it in, Tuesdays is basecoating and details, finishing etc.., wednesday and thursday packaging and posting, Friday I can usually do nothing LOL, maybe catch up on paperwork, chase up payments etc..
    DS will be starting Kindy late this year/next year...looking forward to it in a way as then I wont have the guilts so much. But I will miss having him around, he is a great helper sometimes.
    I do feel somewhat isolated, I also dont dress up much these days, I miss the whole getting up and going to work thing, but I also love getting up and working in my dressing gown! LOL

    I kind of work from home.
    I look after the books for DF's business (as best I can with no prior experience ) Ordering parts, invoicing, paying bills...all that fun stuff.
    I'm also trying build my photography portfolio and hopefully get my own little business going. I'm shooting my first wedding next weekend, eeek!

    I find it hard keeping up with the paperwork for DP's business. Not so much cause I can't find the time, I think it's just because it's not something I particularly enjoy. It's not the kind of job I would be doing if I were out in the workforce.

    Munchkin_mumma - how exciting doing your first wedding shoot, good luck!

    Starrysky - your business sounds yummy lol! I think I'd stack on a few kilos doing what you do

    Livinthedream - I'm the sole Australian distributor for Amby baby hammocks. I pretty much run the Amby show here in Australia so it's pretty full on! I just did the big Pregnancy, Babies & Children's Expo at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre last week which was so much fun, but SO time consuming to organise/set up/pack up again!!

    Thanks Trish, I'm getting so nervous now! Your baby hammocks look awesome, too bad I'm past the little baby stage now. I had never seen anything like that before.

    Starrysky, your biscuits look amazing! You're very talented. I have 'liked' both you ladies facebook pages
