How do you balance or juggle your ambitions with motherhood?

This is a funny one to answer! People often talk about the balance, the work-life balance. Kiddo for me is another child, I love it and nurture it like a newborn!

BUT much like parenting, I have to draw boundaries and make time for other things. Weekends are for being together, dinners are always at the table. Friday afternoon is the day I get to pick my daughter up from her class when school finishes.

Even though I am not there every day, the one day I get to do it really lights up her face (mine too!). I think it is knowing that my children have a role model in what I am doing and knowing that I am still a mum.

Whenever you ask my youngest (6) what she wants to be when she grows up, she will always answer with “Vet and a Mum”, “A Mum and a Kiddo person!”. I love the fact that she puts emphasis on both roles and understands that they are both so important.
