Silence is not golden...especially when you have 2 curious children in your home. 👀 ⁣
⁣
I had snuck away from the kids as they were playing nicely outside with the dogs - Fresh air and few things they could tear apart being outside. ⁣
⁣
I hustled to my computer to get just 15 minutes to get a plan together for my weekly content. Little did I know they were in the midst of helping me do just that at the same time. 👩‍💻⁣
⁣
I pulled my head up long enough to hear the silence. ⁣
⁣
Ugh, this can't be good...I stood up from my desk to find my children crawling into the garbage bin. Ick! 🤢 ⁣
⁣
And just when I didn't think it could get worse I turned to find my 2 year old had pulled off her diaper and was now running around the yard free as a bird. 🍑 ⁣
⁣
For me this was a reminder that I need to be more present with them. ⁣
⁣
And as I am building this business I need to keep balance and motherhood in check. One way to do that is to use my time wisely by building out systems and automations now.⁣
⁣
I don't know if you can feel me here mama but building a business can be hard with kiddos. ⁣
⁣
If you struggle the balance of mom life and building your business, I invite you to DM me. ⁣
⁣
Tell me your recent "OMG" moment with your kiddos and then lets talk about how I can support you in creating more time for being present with them so they aren't crawling into disgusting trash bins like my two. 🤦‍♀️⁣

Making time for you is not selfish...

I hear from mommas all the time that they don’t have time to hit the pause button on life and do something for themselves. Sometimes they even say they feel selfish to not give every waking moment to their kiddos.

Hard to admit but I have been there.

For a long time I had it in my head that as the mom I have to do all the things. Maybe it was due to the Hollywood portraits of the mom that had all her ish together and could work and keep an home spotless but in the end it left me resentful and dead tired.

Finding time for me took some maneuvering in my day, major mental resets and talking with the hubs but it’s resulted in a happier more energized me.

That’s a win I will take!

My favorite evenings with this sweet family include a snuggle session on the couch and a few episodes of and a good glass of wine! ⁣
