Our 𝕥𝕚𝕞𝕖 is SO valuable, and where we spend it determines what’s most important to us.
What I’ve come to realise is that is that only I am in control of where I spend my time, and for so long, it’s been about what I ‘should’ do, but now it’s about what I ‘want’ to do.
Sure I’d love to fit in a lot more, like see more of my friends, have a spotless and organised house, be able to dedicate my whole morning to working out (I’m a mum...who am I kidding 🤪), have every meal and snacks prepared, BUT I’m so incredibly blessed that I now have the time to be with this little girl every day, and be the Mummy I want to be.
Already Lola is 𝟐 years old, and the days, weeks and months are flying by, and with each passing day, I just want to grab hold of it, and freeze it momentarily to soak up every inch of this little girl’s being as she is today, because tomorrow is a new day, with new experiences, new words, new doings, new understandings. Isn’t the journey of childhood so precious?! 💖
Before becoming a Mum, I knew that when the time came that I’d bring life into this world, I wouldn’t want to work full time so that I can be there for every magical moment of my child’s life, but I wasn’t sure how we would manage financially, having relied so heavily on my 6 figure wage pre Lola...
I feel like all of my stars have aligned...now being able to earn an income from home, in and around my babe, with this to soon match my FT income in part time hours, with something that is completely aligned with my values of health, love and contribution. I am so blessed 🙏🏻
Now as a mum, plans often change, and some days can be unpredictable, caus let’s be honest, our little babe’s world is constantly changing, and some days she just wants mummy cuddles and some downtime, and I love that I have the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓭𝓸𝓶 to drop any plans we have, and just be there.
It’s experiences that are the greatest gift we can give our children, and soon become treasured memories bringing us all joy well past when our babes leave the nest.
I’ll be forever grateful to having so many opportunities to live the life we love; we are truly abundant in so many ways 💛
