Mixing Babies And Business™ 🌷 Spring Meetup

Scroll for your parent-friendly news, events and opportunities ⬇️

I'm leaving the house this month to speak about remote work with kids (while most likely wearing my youngest who'll be 4 months old) at Running Remote.

It's a hybrid event so once I have a recap to share I'll let you know. Right now I'm prepping my 20-minute talk, practicing my points while babywearing.

It's also my first overnight trip in a while and I may be the only speaker packing a noise machine and baby soap for Montreal. As well as many, many outfits (not for me).

But first I'm hosting a casual online meetup next week where you can connect with other parents and chat about life, work and kids...all before lunch and naptime! ⬇️

Join us on May 11th

💡 If you can't make it but have feedback on how your remote work with kids experience with/without childcare has gone for you over the past few years, hit reply and let me know.

👀 AND please cross your fingers for me so my babe doesn't wail or poop while in the carrier during my quick keynote session on the 17th.

Want to know what I'm talking about?

In this video from April 2021, I cover how I use boundaries, time blocking and batching to help with my remote work with kids experience:

I'll be back to share my conference experience recap in two weeks' time,
