So the work is steady and so is the stress, but I'm reminding myself to be grateful for it. Though I often feel overwhelmed, I'm working hard to ensure that feeling goes away when I realize how lucky I really am. Sure, the situation overall isn't ideal and there's moments where I go nuts, but as I get into the craziness of my work day I also happen to be in the same house as my little girl. I get to be there to kiss the "boo boo" better or pick her up when she just needs a hug. This is the season to remember what you're truly grateful for, and not only am I eterntally grateful for her, my husband, my mom, and all of my family and friends, but I am so grateful to be working from right here in my kitchen.
Perhaps I create my own stress sometimes--okay I KNOW that I do. Taking on cooking, baking, entertaining, shopping, and all of the other normal activities at this time of year is what energizes me. I love the hustle bustle, but when you combine it with everything else going on and working hard to meet deadlines before Christmas gets here......well let's just say that some days it makes for a perfect recipe for a mommy meltdown.
However when I get to see the look on Faith's face when we talk about Santa and be here to pick her up when she's having a bad day, it's all well worth it. That's the best part about being a mompreneur, is when you can somehow make it all work and balance it out. My new year's resolution is to continue to be grateful and work on a positive attitude across the board! And as always, wishing for GOOD THINGS AHEAD for all of us!!
