For many of us, working from home is a wonderful option. I know it was for me as a mom of two, graduate student and military spouse. My husband was away so much for training and this left me solo parenting for most of the time. However, I knew that I didn’t want to let my career take the back seat and working from home helped me keep my professional skills sharp. I also could not see myself shelling out hundreds of dollars a week on day care for the children, when I could easily stay home and work. Sounds great, right? However, it may seem a little too good to be true. And it surely was harder six years ago when I was job searching and organizations were hesitant about hiring a remote employee.

What truths have I learned these past six years?
