Trying to find balance


This month may have been my busiest EVER!  We started the month with a Beach trip, celebrated 2 birthdays, Sprinkled Pregnant friends and started camp, all while Mommy is trying to get back to work.  I took a full year off starting when Sutton was born but a couple of months ago, I got the itch to delve into something for myself.  I have been so blessed to have Mary in my life since before I had children and feel so inspired just walking into Abode.  I have learned so much over the years as her assistant and now I feel ready to begin my own design work.  I am so excited to get back into all things interior and I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to join Mary, as I will be under the Abode "umbrella".   
This was a huge decision for Mac and myself.  Working Part-time is not easy because I feel like I need to wear both hats well and have a hard time doing anything just "part" of the way.  I will never take that attitude as a wife, mother or friend but I also find it hard not to become obsessed with a current work project.  So I am going to have to find my groove somewhere in the middle.  One huge thing that I did was hire our sweet babysitter Dorothy 2 days a week to help me with the girls.  They will both be in school(BG 4 days and Sutton 2 days) but there is only so much a mama can get done in 3 hours.  So hopefully, between school and Dorothy, I can get in work and some time for myself and the rest of the time I can focus on mac and my girls, without feeling pulled towards work.  Easier said than done but its all about Balance, right?!?!
Along with everything else on my plate, I am going to start a blog for Abode where i can pour into interior design projects, trends and inspirations.  Therefore, this blog will still just be about my 2 Cute Chicks.  One more attempt on my part to keep my life organized ;)  I will send a link once things get up a running.

xoxo
