Small Wonder was supposed to solve all my problems. I could do business from home, take my 2 boys to and from school, and have plenty of time left over for shopping! It seemed like a flawless plan. But as we all know, life throws you curve balls, and ours was a third baby boy. Now, he is an absolute angel and the most wonderful curve ball we have had the pleasure of being thrown. Still, life and business are not happening exactly how I had planned. I am now so exhausted most of the time, I can't imagine taking on any work, or marketing my business, or updating the website, which needs it badly. And when I do occasionally get a burst of energy, probably induced by an overdose of caffeine, it seems there is not enough time between feedings to get anything done.
If you happen to be a Mom and/or a business person, you know that this is not an unusual circumstance. The real surprise is that both business and parenthood benefit from the same strategy. Baby steps. Make little strides every day. Break things down into small, do-able tasks that can be accomplished in 30 minutes or less. It sounds simple, but getting a small something done is better than doing nothing because its all too overwhelming.
So, will I be Super Mom to three boys and a multi-million dollar business woman? Probably not. I may never be either of those things. Can I move closer to my ultimate goals of raising a happy family and finding a little success for myself? You bet. One baby step at a time.

I agree. One step at a time. Baby steps. It'll come, I know it.
WELCOME to Blogland!!!!! Love the picture of the boys in your header, too. Reminded me a bit of Forrest Gump when him and his son are sitting on that log. Super cute!
Welcome...from someone who is learning to be happy when one load of laundry gets done in a day...definitely baby steps!
I had to comment on what a beautiful little boy you have!
Not like you don't know that. : )
