How Parents of Small Children Can Find Time for a Personal Life

For a while, when you have small children, your personal life can start to feel like a room in the house you used to live in. You remember it. You know it exists.

If you’re a builder, developer, or project manager who’s seen one too many “surprises” on site, you know that good water planning isn’t optional. It’s a discipline.
