I think that life / work balance is a constant struggle for all parents; whether you run your own business or work outside of the house. We started our business for our kids and sometimes it’s our kids that sacrifice the most. There are days where we have no choice but to go full-throttle and we’re doing a lot of explaining to the kids about how it’s a work day and how we just have SO much to do.
But we’ve always been really adament about paying them back for their patience. Which always ends up paying us back for our hard work. Because it’s so good to be a family and it’s so good to get out for some family time.
Our year has kicked off with three major events, and while we did get the kids a lot of focused time; and they got to visit with their grandma twice, it’s been almost the whole month and a half since we’ve had quality family time. We finally got to enjoy some down-time yesterday; we got out and it was great. We are much-blessed to live where the temperature is 75 degrees in the middle of February, but we were much much much blessed to get out to the park and science museum yesterday.
Everyone had the best time, my daughter got to climb the biggest bridge-tree of her life and my son got to make an absolute waterfall of a mess down his shirt with his push-up ice cream. We got to indulge in some photography, perhaps our favorite hobby, and most importantly, we got to decompress and enjoy the best of each other.
