I took the scary decision to go part time from the start of June, recently. This week it all became official and real as it was announced to the rest of my team. I'm going to work 3 days per week from 1 June.
If I had any doubts about why I was doing this, yesterday I spent the first day of the easter holidays with my daughter and had one of the most enjoyable, fun, rewarding days that I've had in ages.
That's not to say that I could give up working completely. I learnt the hard way when my daughter was first born that full-time childcare is not for me. I need something other to do to keep my brain ticking over.
But balance is most definitely good. And I'm hoping that being a part-timer is going to give me a shot at the balance that has most definitely been missing from my life for a couple of years now.
Wish me luck.

Good luck! I am full-time and would love to go part-time but sadly not that easy with my job.
All the best. I look forward to reading all about it on your blog.
