Today is the day I stop trying to parent and work at the same time because my youngest is starting school. I made it! š„¹š„³š
More than 8 years ago I made the very hard decision to leave my steady, well paying job with benefits, with coworkers Iām still obsessed with, to stay home and make cardsā¦but mostly be a mom. I never pictured being a stay-at-home parent but damn do I consider myself incredibly lucky to have gotten to be home with my kids while building my company. I will miss my errand sidekicks, looking up new playgrounds near card retailers I need to visit, listening to them play Barbieās outside my office and being the person who already knows how their day went because it was with me. But I know my youngest is ready to conquer the world in Kindergarten (sheās already conquered our homeš) and I know Iām ready to not work every night until 9pm!
Being home with kids and working was really hard and I wouldnāt trade it for anything. Truly.
Thanks for supporting this working mom š«¶
