Balancing a working mom’s life

Balancing a working mom’s life is hard, and it could be the hardest job if your betterhalf is not around, and worst your closest relatives and friends also depend on you at some point.

I have been in my not-so-good MOMents in the past week. I won’t go in detail but just the same, if you are currently in my shoes, you’d feel the loads. So how do balance everything at almost the same time?

I go to work 5 days a week (that is if I get lucky and nothing comes up in between), get off the office at 6pm straight to the public market, get home at about 7pm, cook our dinner which is normally portioned up to lunch the next day, bond with the girls while I wait for the food to get cooked, guide my grade-schooler in her homework, have our dinner at 8pm most of the time, tuck the girls in bed after a while and chit chat with them. Sometimes, they get to chat with their Dada over Skype while we wait for our dinner to get ready otherwise I’ll put them to sleep first. 

Once the girls are fast asleep and I finished updating with my husband, that’s the time that I get the chance to spend time with my blogs. I normally doze off at 1am the latest, get up at 5:30am, get ready for work and start another day with the same routine.

So imagine if I had to do the household chores?
I’d probably die due to over fatigue! Okay, that ‘s an exaggeration! I do not know any of that case as yet. But you see, the bottom line here is that a working mother’s life is not easy. Yes, we get extra pay but the rest that we most deserve is not enough. One needs patience, tolerance and energy. I know these are not enough but that’s how moms work. We may also have to introduce to our husbands to learn how to boost testosterone levels in case they need to replace us even for a month, do you agree?

I am a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
