Personally speaking …
I am so sad to say that right now I don’t have much to fill in here. I do a little knitting in the winter, I like to plan the kids parties with theme events and lots of fun activities, and I walk in the early AM with a group of women in the neighborhood and thoroughly enjoy my “adult time,” but other than that this is an area I am working on!
Home life:
I have a hubby of 5 years Patrick. We have a romantic story of meeting, falling deeply in love, he quit his job a month after we met so he could be stateside (after knowing each other for only 2 weeks) then moving in directly with me literally after the taxi dropped him off at my house and getting engaged a year later on top of the Eiffel Tower – but sadly not much romance post kiddos! I have 3 wonderful children: Grant (3.5 years old), Rhett (20 months old) and Charlotte (8 months old). They are fun and keep me hopping, most days it’s wonderful and other days it’s a handful!
Childcare situation:
I have full-time, in-home care. I attempted to go it alone without care, but with 3 under 3 at the time and now with them only 6 months older now, there was not enough quite time in the day to get any work done and not a quiet moment to talk to a client.
Motivation for starting your businesses:
A passion for marketing and helping other small businesses grow AND a desire to be more connected and present in my children’s days.
Greatest benefit of running your own businesses:
Flexibility. I try to fit in a few events with the kids during the day each month, we walk to preschool and back and I have lunch with them at least a few times a week.
Greatest success you had in the past month (personal or biz) and how you celebrated it:
I got 2 new clients for my business. I called my hubby.
On your nightstand:
A notebook to jot down late-night thoughts and to-dos and a few children’s book, Oh and 1,000 Places to See Before You Die – But it hasn’t even been cracked open (I got it for Christmas) and I certainly haven’t scheduled a trip yet!
The one tool, resource, or toy you just can’t do without:
Sneakers. I love getting out a taking a walk or jog to energize or blow off steam. I try to walk most days with the kids or at least get outside for a little fun.
Last purchase for self:
Blackberry
Favorite way to unwind:
Wine a little…
Best advise or tip you ever received (personal or biz):
My mom said – You need to start your own business. After positions in various companies I was frustrated with an organization’s lack of vision, inefficiencies and inability to execute. Many companies get in their own way on a regular basis and I want to help them advance.
Best thing about being an Enterprising Mom:
There are more than one BEST to this one…I love working for myself because I get to be involved with so many exciting businesses and work for a number of different clients, which is very fulfilling. It’s an opportunity you don’t have when working for one company. I also love showing my children how mommy works, getting them exposed to alternative work environments and in the future I look forward to them understanding that they can do whatever they want to do as they grow up.
