Ian just made a post sharing 9 tips for working remote with kids. I thought it was a great list and the tip for making exceptions reminded of a great memory I got to share with my youngest daughter a few months ago

I couldn’t fit everything in the tweet but she came running into my office with a princess dress on and batting her eye lashes telling me I was cordially invited to a royal ball. It was unforgettable for me and a memory I will cherish forever.
These are the quick moments that I wouldn’t get to experience first hand if I didn’t work remote. While my kids are small I can’t imagine working in an office. They grow up to fast and then it’s gone. No turning back the clock on what you should have done.
