iphone in one hand and baby in the other? Skype call with a colleague while breastfeeding your baby? Turning on the TV to a kid show for 20 mintues so you can finish one email? Can you be a full time Mompreneur and full time caregiving Mom - both at the same time? I seriously don't know.
Do you make time for yourself? Have you scheduled in YOUR activity on the family calandar? Here's why you need to give yourself permission to take "me-time" to pursue your passion...
You deserve it.
So simple right? But it took me years to figure this out.
I scheduled the kids' sports activities on the family calander. I set up play dates for the kids and their friends. I hosted dinner parties for my family. I, happily, enabled everyone to do his or her favourite activities...everyone except me.
Four, free (and kinda fabulous), gift ideas kids can give Mom on Mother's Day.
Let me sleep in.
Let me have a hot drink in peace.
Please fold the laundry.
