The school holidays are over and I’ve been feeling a little emotional about how quickly they went.We had two lovely weeks together. But in between all the activities and adventures, there was a business to run, a million things to do and that constant mental to-do list that never really switches off.
And now that he’s back at school, I find myself wishing we’d had more time to do absolutely nothing.
I think the hardest part of juggling motherhood and running a business is that I genuinely love both. But there are days when giving my time to one feels like taking it away from the other. The guilt, oh my goodness, it doesn’t stop…
And the older he gets, the more aware I am of just how quickly these little years are passing.
I’m sure we’ll both remember the adventures. But it’s those slow afternoons, when there’s nowhere to be and nothing particularly important to do, that I wish I could bottle up.
So today, I’m going to give my boy an extra-tight hug when I pick him up. I’m going to play with him, and make a conscious effort to keep my mind focused on being present.
The work will still be there tomorrow. But he won’t always be this little. 🥹❤️
