MOMtreprenuers

To go or not to go SOLO -in terms of career- is one of the thoughts that accompanies me almost on a daily basis. Having or not having my own business is that ONE thought, dilema that never really leaves my mind. I am torn between these two simple messages that my brain sends: No, don't do it, it's risky and an unknown territory to you. Yes, Do it, you can do it. One half of my brain saying: Why would you do that? you have a flexible job, you work on what you wanted to work, you can be with your son right after he is off from school, you have benefits, you have time for your family, etc.... But then the other half of my brain knows that there is much more for me that I could be accomplishing, amazing ideas I would love to see grow, being my own boss and create somehow my own creative outlet, which by the way I've been craving for so long.

And here I go again. I read this article-interviews -from mothermag.com- about these 5 fabulous women who were brave enough and believed at some point of their lives, their talents and their dreams needed to be heard. All of them mothers and wives, with houses to run and families to take care of. And of course I get inspired, so inspired and my two halves of the brain start their battle all over again.

Enjoy these interviews, I did, very much.

Meet these beautiful and creative MOMtreprenuers.

Kindergarten

It seems we have finally found a school we really like for D. to start elementary school next fall. I know, it seems so early to start the process, but in order to pick the school we really wanted we needed to start this early. What a relief. What a big relief. We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months. In our district, out of our district, public schools and private schools, charter schools and whatever's left in the middle, and somehow there was always something that didn't click to me when touring all those schools. All of them -btw- with very high scores and super nice reviews, but still, there was something that didn't convince me. It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked ...

Lately

It's been so long. I feel I haven't post anything in ages. Life has been seriously busy lately, that's why. And it seems that is the general tendency among friends. Whoever I talk to, they are trying to juggle a million things at once. That's life these days, I guess. The news have been scary, lately. Around the globe. Very scary. This year we have seen all kind of sadness, craziness, nonsense around the world. Even natural disasters have been horrific. And it seems it escalates year after year. To be honest the last few motnhs I have felt the need to hide, to retreat and protect my loved ones. To move somewhere where nothing can reach us, not even social media or TV... -especially social media and TV- But how? How we protect the people we love? How do we hide? Where do we go? Not sure where the world is going and if you have kids it can get really really scary at times. Is this the world we are leaving to them? What I'm sure about though is that more ...

Madison in the summer

For some reason, I don't want to let go of the idea of warm summer-days this year.  Every year and right at this point when summer is kind of fading away and the cool breeze rolls into the city, I usually feel excited and inspired by the arrival of the Fall season and its beautiful colors; not this year. I'm longing for more sunny days, and sunshine and summer scenes like the ones below in my pictures. Not ready for layers yet. Not ready for cold days. But we live in the northern midwest area of the country and seasons don't play around here, they get on time and do their job. I won't complain much, still three full weeks of summer (with grandma and grandpa) and to be fair September is a gorgeous month in Madison as well. Some pictures of beautiful Madison in the summer. Good week to all. Peace and good health, friends.
