Young House Love seeks work-life balance

When John and Sherry Petersik started blogging in 2007, it was just a way to keep friends and family updated on their kitchen construction.

Now, they receive five million page views a month with posts about home renovation, thrift store shopping, inexpensive furniture makeovers, and life with their daughter, Clara, and dog, Burger.

Along the way they have written a New York Times bestselling book, designed a line of affordable lamps and lighting, and become internet celebrities.

But when writing about your house and your family is your business, it can be hard to find a separation between "work life" and "home life". The Petersiks explain to the BBC the challenges that come from living the dream, and their plans to find more balance in 2013.
