Hi, I’m Debbie O’Connor and this is Mum’s the Boss.
I’ve been working from home in various guises since having my first child in 2003.
This blog has it all – business tips, self-care tips, parenting tips, and an honest look at how things really are when you work at home with children, how you are supposed to hold it all together and stay sane.
