Personal: Thoughts on motherhood and work/life balance

Photo by This Rad Love As you all know there have been a lot of changes around here, what with me becoming a mother. Juggling motherhood and my business has been tough - and frankly, at 6 months into this new mommy gig, I’m still figuring it out.

My husband has been awesome, helping along the way as we continue to shift our schedules so that I can help raise Tallulah but also not completely abandon my other “baby” - The Plannery (there have been multiple attempts to find what works best!).

While we continue to work on it, I will say that the addition of Tarra (my awesome new coordinator), has helped immensely. I’m able to send some jobs her way that I no longer have the availability for. I’m hoping to continue to grow my team here at The Plannery so that I can focus on planning and running the business.

Overall though, I think it’s been a great lesson (especially as someone who likes to plan things!) that sometimes things take time. And sometimes they’ll just continue to shift and change and grow and it’s best to roll with it and trust that you as a businesswoman and as a mother and wife will make it work. I don’t believe in the perfect work/life balance. I do think there are days and weeks and months and years where things will ebb and flow and giving in to that has helped me a lot.

So those are my personal ramblings for the day. I just wanted to share that I’m still here (!) and if any other big changes occur in the world of The Plannery, I’ll be sure to let you all know. In the meantime, had to share some of these great lifestyle shoot pics Sarah from This Rad Love took of my awesome family. Feeling really blessed and lucky these days… despite the lack of sleep!
