Sweet World of Joan

I was recently interviewed for a consultancy job and surprisingly most of the questions were about my experiences on my online store, mylittlebaker and not about what can I do for them as an IT consultant. The questions were about my online customers, internet payment and deliveries plus website management. They were so interested that what I thought to be a simple panel interview became an exchange of ideas that I forgot being nervous.

One of the toughest things that any parent could teach their kids is the right values, this is one of my fears – that I may not be able to teach him good values. Being respectful, friendly, generous, kind, industrious and self reliant these are the values I want my son to have. Being a working mom I have this fear that I may not be able to teach him the right values for I work six days a week. So far my five year old have most of these values in place, but I realize you have to continuously work at it.
