Finding Balance as a Work at Home Mom

March 3, 2019 · In: Work from Home

So far today I’ve knocked out 2 blog posts, outlined my videos for the week, washed my daughters hair (huge), washed all the bed linens, forced my teen to clean his room (also huge), and deep cleaned my kitchen. Yes this mama is on fire today! But finding balance as a work at home mom can often be a struggle. You find yourself having to ruthlessly prioritize between so many things that seem to all be equally important.

Of all the things I did today, guess what I didn’t do? Cook! I didn’t make it to that. I had other things that needed to be done and I felt were more important in the moment. Instead I threw in a frozen lasagna, opened a bag of salad, toasted some garlic bread and that was dinner. My kids got fed and were happy.

Listen, you can’t be all the things, to all the people, all the time. Chef wasn’t in my title today but I’m still getting stuff done. No my progress was not some Instagram version of being productive. But I was able to check many things off my to-do list.

My life is busy! Between drop offs, appointments, practices, meal prep, meetings, family, friends, a blog, social media, and so much more it can get overwhelming. People often ask me how I do it? They see the kids and all that I’m doing and wonder when exactly did I lose my mind.

Rocking this mom life is about doing what you can, the best you can, not burning yourself out to uphold some standard of “supermom” that doesn’t exist. In the midst of it all I feel grounded. I feel empowered and I know that I’m in my rightful place because I’m happy.

Now I’m off to the grocery store to grab snack for my kindergarten room mom duties next week. After that I’m coming back home, putting my feet up and doing nothing. I’m done because #MeTime. I make sure I plan in time for me in the midst of it all. My self care has become a discipline and part of my normal routine. It’s necessary for me to operate at the levels in which I do.

So while “balance” has been said to be this great act of perfectly managing it all I am just out here doing my best.

The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to a few things at a time. At the top of the year I was coming in hot and then boom….Omarion. 

In the midst of feeling crappy I had all kinds of brand deals due, a launch to execute, and babies to take care of. It was A LOT! 

When life be LIFEing it’s hard for me to focus on anything outside of my household. I’m fully present in real life so the virtual world gets put on pause. And I know that’s not the best idea when your building a business but…sanity!

Oh and passive marketing 😉

I finally have my energy back, and I’ve been posting on the Youtube channel and chatting with my email peeps…. I missed y’all.

Here’s to me getting it together and finding my way back. 

Happy Monday y’all!!

PS. What’s up with all these spam comments and bots? 🤨

4 years ago I left my job with nothing! A month e 4 years ago I left my job with nothing!

A month earlier I realized I wasn’t happy. I was tired and frustrated with myself for living beneath my potential. Nothing was necessarily “wrong” I just knew there had to be more. I prayed and asked God to lead me into what was next.

Two weeks later I witnessed my coworker jack up my 3 year old and put her on the wall because she ran out of line and onto the playground too soon…..

Two days later my boss told me the state came in and saw she had me working in a position I wasn’t certified to be doing (nor getting the pay for 😒) and I needed to get it asap!

The morning of the test I woke up and realized I slept through my alarm, her multiple texts and the test! 🥴 I took that as my sign to move on. So I did!

At the time all I had was hope and a dream. I figured I could side hustle my way to what I was making then. All I knew was that my babies needed all of me, not some unhappy fraction of who I could really be for them. 

Even though I had no clue what I was doing or how I was going to make it work, I did it anyway! 

After getting up and calling my boss back to tell her I was gonna move on, I picked up my camera to document the moment.

A few days ago someone commented on that very video, I needed that in the moment. I realized I’ve come so far, did what I intended to do and am working toward the life that girl wanted! She’d be proud.

Thank you all for your continued support! I hope you know your journey to success may look a lil different in the beginning but trust yourself, something great is waiting on the other side of your decision!

It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m thinking about is “How can I be better than I was last year!”

I’m done with doubting myself because I can do anything with God on my team.

I’m done with imposter syndrome because “I did that” the receipts are in!

This year I’m getting back fine 😜 aggressively delegating, staying consistent, living more, complaining less and gratefully celebrating every single moment.

That’s it. Those are the plans.

I hope you find the courage to do the same!
