I get asked ALL the time how I find the time to be a stay-at-home mom AND create my pieces. Simply put? I don't know! I just DO! I find the time in-between meals, during naps, and in the evenings. I wish I could say I had child-labor over here (no worries: I don't!). And to be honest, one of the greater stressors in my life is trying to cram in as much time into finishing orders as I can, around the mothering, cleaning, cooking and all around super-woman'ing. But I honestly love it too!
I think my life is just a wild entity! It is an organism of it's own! Just as my business started out small and un-assuming and just gained an insane amount of momentum before I knew it! I literally went from being childless to having twins, then being pregnant AGAIN when they were 10 months old: mom of 3 in 19 months BAM!! No worries, I gave my poor uterus a break for 5 years before I had my last baby ;) People ask me how I can have four kids. I never knew the simplicity of life with ONE baby! LOL I hit the ground running and having stopped since! My life doesn't know normal!! Some of you already know that one of my daughter's is autistic. She is an amazing person! However it hasn't been without it's own challenges being a mom of four and to have a child with a disability! Along with being everything that entails being a mom, I am also an advocate! And just when I thought life might slow down, we were hit with another devastating blow almost two years ago when my husband was diagnosed with a devastating medical condition. So really it's not how I own my own business but rather what owning my own business means to mean in the scheme of things. It is my outlet for ME! When I am working, I get to leave the every day stressors behind me and concentrate on what is developing at the end of my paintbrush!
So as wild as life might be I would definitely say I fit right in!!!
