Becoming a mom has been the most joyful experience of my life. At the same time, it has been the hardest thing I have ever done. No one can prepare you for the emotions and all that comes with this new chapter of life. For me it was the emotions of realizing my life will never be the same. That’s not a bad thing, just something I wasn’t fully prepared for. Daily decisions became about choices. Do I choose to go to the bathroom or take a shower? Do I do the dishes or the laundry? Do I eat breakfast or have a cup of coffee? I am so blessed to be a mom (I think I have the cutest little boy on the planet)! But just now, 11 weeks after having him am I starting to feel more like myself, more in a routine of figuring out this new life, more of an understanding of one door closing and another huge door opening. I have my own business and I work from home and I designed it that way for the sole purpose of being able to raise my kids and be home with them. I am so grateful to be a mom and so excited for this new challenge of being able to do it all. I always wanted to be a successful business woman and a great mom… Now is the time! Now I am doing it!
