Isn’t it strange that we must make a conscious effort to live this way? I’m proud of you for getting it all in order and spending time on YOU, Lindsay. You deserve that, and the rest of the family with benefit from it, too. xo

I understand completely. Guilt stricken when you’re working because of the kids. Guilt stricken when you’re with the kids because you’re not working…sigh

Great post Lindsay…I know I have felt that way several times…And I worked full time with my 1st two and was lucky to get home in time to tuck them in..

I try and balance, but we all know we sacrifice…

Cheers

Life is all about balance, the crux of it is that you can’t get an even balance at any given time because life isn’t balanced. Will you children learn from having their mother there full-time? Yes. Will your children learn from seeing the example that you set that doing something you love is important? Yes.

There is no right or wrong answer – just different paths at any given moment.

Lindsay,
Some of us are moms that love to sit down and play with our kids all day. And some of us are not.
Being an entrepreneur who works from home tends to leave us with more guilt about our children.
But here’s the good news:
Your kids will learn that you can have a job you love. They will see that mommy works but can provide the attention they need every now and then. Your children are happier for having a mom who is happy with what she is doing and is proud of the business she built.
It took me a long time to realize that. And when my 6 yr old had a social studies project involving asking a friend or family member about their job, he chose to interview me.
In your moments of doubt, take a minute to think what life would be like with Grace Announcements. I can tell you I would be a different mom without Digital Shoebox.
