Life skills. Managing family and career. It is a difficult challenge. Covering all your bases and being available to your clients. It is a seven day a week commitment.
Hi Letitia
I thought you might appreciate an early blog on the topic! I have TWINS- yes TWINS double trouble, buy one get one free,(I could never resist a sale) and yes, I struggle daily with balance. They are 9 now and very active. But we have mastered time blocking.
When they were babies I ran a FULL time Pet grooming business and it was a L O N G days. 14-16 hours the norm..so this is a piece of cake! You will survive! I promise, and you will find what works for you. The business MUST succeed to help your family.
Good luck!!!!
Thanks Allison,
I think that this passion of mine is here to stay whether I like it or not. So, I guess I will have to learn how to balance it all.
hi letitia,
my family and i are considering moving from the sf bay area to rochester, and since you have such a love for the city, i was hoping you could tell me a little more about it! links, shops, restaurants, playgroups (i have 2 young daughters)... thanks!
Hi Alisyn,
Well, Rochester is nice because it is very family oriented, but growing and expanding for college age people and singles to enjoy their time here,too. The really nice thing is that we are only an hour from Minneapolis and St. Paul and there are children's museums, many theatres and attractions to go to. Here in Rochester, we enjoy the small town atmosphere, where everyone seems to know everyone and we moved here about 10 years ago and I feel like I know everyone who grew up here. The schools are very good and I love being apart of my children's school activities which you can easily get involved in. I think that you would like this town, let me know if you are moving here and we can get together. It always helps to have a friend when you move! Have a great day.
Letitia and Allison - I hear you!!!! I have 16 month old TWIN boys AND a 3 year old girl. Today is one of those days where I'm ready to hand them off to dear husband when he walks in the door!
We just moved to Kingston about a year ago, and before that I was a WOHM as a Social Worker. Now that I havbe 3 kids under 3 I wanted something that I could do 'somewhat' on my own schedule and work from home...
Oh boy, this is becoming a juggling act already!!!!!!!
