I would just like to encourage you to live in the now--planning for the future, financially and otherwise, is no doubt, smart, responsible, and necessary...but we never get those baby days back. As my oldest child gets ready to enter middle school this coming fall, I am reminded how very quickly he has grown, and how grateful I am to have given up some material comforts and income to have spent so much time with him as a baby and young child. I did choose to work part-time because I believe happy mama=happy child, but I'll never regret making him (and now my other children) my first priority after my marriage. You are an inspiration as a hard-working entepreneur, I believe you will find your perfect balance.

I hear you hard and clear... being an entrepeneur is hard and time consuming and exciting and worthwhile! being an entrepreneur mom is a different story, and if people have not been there they simply don't get it. When I started my business I made it clear to my self that my girls where my number one priority, and after that the business and after that the rest (my hubby falls in the girls category, but is often lost in the rush of days :))<br />Anyways is sooo hard for other people to understand, specially for other moms. They dont get why I cant go for coffee every day, or du lunch while the girls are in preschool... is hard. But at the end I know it will pay off. My mom always told me, and still tells me... what you plant right now.. all the hard work, all the sweat all the tears, that is what will become your future harvest filled with positive wonderful things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-31174892920882216482009-07-02T22:16:38.039-05:002009-07-02T22:16:38.039-05:00Being an entrepreneur is hard but so rewarding. Yo...Being an entrepreneur is hard but so rewarding. You really have to believe in yourself and your brand/product, and only a few people have what it takes. I believe putting in the long hours will pay of big in the end. My blog is growing every day and I am getting such great support and input from other moms. I love what I am doing, being a resource for other moms, sharing my life, and supplying the occasional laugh :)<br /><br />Best,<br />DagmarDagmar Bleasdalehttp://dagmarbleasdale.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-12821785849763237502009-07-02T20:39:45.703-05:002009-07-02T20:39:45.703-05:00Amber it looks like I missed out on an opportunity...Amber it looks like I missed out on an opportunity. I was trying so hard to find something else so I could give you more hours and it happened too late. If you don't have time to email me back don't worry about it, you are a very busy woman. Best of luck with your great product. Let me know if you ever need more help.<br />Leahleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405446954896802511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-786103217808881915.post-32388099429016092832009-07-02T14:49:16.246-05:002009-07-02T14:49:16.246-05:00I am right there with you girl:0) It's people...I am right there with you girl:0) It's people like you that empower other women to reach for their dreams. I salute you! I too know what hard work and perserverance means when you are trying to make a name for yourself and a legacy for your children. I also have a husband that is my biggest supporter. What would we do without them? God will continue to bless and that journey towards balance you were speaking of...well that is one that we all struggle with. From one rare breed to another!!

We are a special breed, :) and you really have to want it and it is a continuous process, but a great one at that.<br /><br />I love reading stories and seeing myself as well, then you know you are not alone :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
