Know Your Why
My Why
Danica stole my heart the day she was born, since then my WHY has been her.
She is the reason I wake up every morning with a blessed attitude. The reason I continue to pursue my career, work hard on my goals , strive to be the best mom, wife and person that I can be.
I often question if pursuing my career and goals makes me a bad mom because I’m not with her 24/7. As I sit here with happy tears rolling down my eyes typing this and thinking about how happy she is, how much she has learned from being in daycare with other children, how much she loves her daycare provider and her friends, and how independent she is I know I made the right decision.
I strongly believe in quality time over quantity. I make sure to make every second we have together the best. If you know me every free minute we have we are having a blast as a family! We work so hard that we deserve to play hard!
Clearing up the Misconception of the Working Mother
I want to clear up the misconception of the working mother at least from my perspective. I don’t go to work because 1)I don’t want to be around my child 2) I need to work etc, etc. None of these are true! I’ve heard these before and it’s quite insulting! I want to have a career. I want to help contribute to providing for my child. Being a working mom is not for everyone and I get that. But for me choosing to pursue my career does in no way mean I don’t care for my child because I didn’t choose to stay home with her. I want to show my daughter that she can do it all. She can have a career that she enjoys and also be a wonderful mother. I’m allowed to have both. I’m living proof that I can do both. I want Danica and our new baby to one day look back and say my mom was the most amazing mom and loved us with all of our heart. She did it all and we are so proud of her!
Everything I do is for Danica and for our baby to come. Danica and the new baby to come are my WHY. What’s your why?
