The Most Important Work

Starting your own business is hard.

Especially when you started it less than 6 months ago, 

and you are trying to grow it into something great. 

So this quote is one to always keep close.

There are so many days I just want to sit at my laptop and create. 

All day.

But I'm a Mommy first.

Always.

And that will forever be my most important job. 

My little man needs me to be 100% present in his life.

And I want to give him 100% of myself. 

When he is awake I make the biggest effort

to put down my phone

and close up the laptop.

We read, sing, dance, and play with cars for hours.

I watch his personality and imagination grow day by day

and I wouldn't trade that for all the sales in the world. 

I know these moments will pass all too soon, 

and I will eventually have more time than I need. 

I will wish for these crazy, busy, stress filled days 

of early mornings and late nights

back more than anything.

But for right now, it's difficult to fit a business 

into being a full time mommy and wife.

Really difficult.

Sometimes I feel like I don't have the time I need

to focus on things other than my family

but when you are passionate and motivated

somehow you make it work.

I hope one day my little shop will be a big shop

but until then I'm okay with growing it slowly. 

I'm blessed to have the customers that I do,

and even more blessed to have the best full time job in the world,

being a mommy to my sweet little babe.
