You definitely need a dedicated office space. Especially when you got kids in the house! When we were looking for a house, having a sweet office space was one of the major factors. My office is away from the family common areas, on a different floor, and the noise I hear is minimal if any.

I hear ya taking little breaks. I'm all for taking advantage of the benefits of working from home. It's just when they get out of hand is where it gets dangerous.

I hope this time around it works out well for you. Thanks for the note.

Re:The Future of Markdown on Friday October 26, 2012 @11:09AM (#4702446)
We recently added Markdown as an option in our hosted reseller CMS (YikeSite) in hopes that some of our customers would choose it over the WYSIWYG editor.

You can play with it here: http://www.markdowncms.com

If there was a standardized Markdown, we would implement that for sure.

I work from home and I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with my kids. I've built a successful startup and am launching another without compromising anything. It IS possible and our breed of entrepreneur is more common however underrepresented in the startup community.

Such a brilliant way to market your product, LetsFreckle. Better than any adwords or facebook ads campaign I'm sure. Hope you're tracking conversions from this.

Content marketing at its finest. Great job.

Re:Happy Family, Successful Start-up. Impossible? on Saturday February 11, 2012 @10:49PM (#3581043)
It is definitely possible and I do this on a daily basis. I work from home, have 2 kids and have founded two startups. It's not without its challenges that's for sure...

Here is a post I wrote for parents in the same situation as me: http://maplebutter.com/superhero-tricks-for-startup-parents/

And here is another post I did last week summarizing 20 great articles on this topic: http://jeff.io/posts/20-inspirational-articles-for-startup-p...

I am always keen to read comments when these kinds of posts hit HN. We are not alone STARTUP PARENTS!!! :)
