I’ll see how the next few months go but lately I’ve really been feeling like I should put this site on hold or possibly even take it down for now, at least until I can dedicate more time to it.

So now that that project is done and behind me I now feel like I can get back on to my normal work schedule.  Actually, I’ve been working quite a bit on scheduling lately.  I’ve started meal planning, I’ve finally got my husband agreeing to a budget (after 3 years!), scheduling my work time and of course my Mother’s Rule of Life, which encompasses it all.    So stay tuned!  I’m going to be doing some writing about my scheduling.  And of course if you have any ideas or if you would like to share any of your schedules, what works for you etc. with me, feel free to drop a comment.  Thanks!

I am currently working on building another site for a new contract and it’s taking more time than I had anticipated.  I’m sure many of you can relate – it can be difficult to balance the 4 hours a day that I have available to work.  It would probably be much easier if it wasn’t broken up into smaller chunks of time.   Which on the most part the challenge of working with small chunks of time is manageable.  However with this new website, I’m finding it quite challenging.  I’m not sure if it’s because I have way too much going on right now (currently 4 projects) or if it’s the amount of work involved with the new site.

As soon as this new site is done though, I’m sure it will be smooth sailing!  (Is life ever smooth sailing?!)

Anyway, I’ve got some funny/cute stories to share about the kids so keep reading!

Part of my job (my paying job that is), is writing 2 to 3 articles a week for a website that we’ve been working on. I started out writing articles for a business newsletter for my employer and now I’m writing 2 to 3 articles a week plus the writing that I’m doing for my own Motherly Musing site. I never would have thought that I would enjoy this aspect of my work so much.
In school I always thought that English was one of my poorest subjects, next to math. Grammar, punctuation and spelling came pretty easy but I never felt creative enough to really write. I really didn’t like English classes because I felt that I couldn’t write. I think part of the reason I held back my creative side is my lack of self confidence and not believing in myself.
It’s funny how as an adult so many of us wish that we would have paid more attention during certain classes. During my school years I hated math and English, but in my adult life I spent 15 years in the financial services sector and now find myself enjoying writing and using my English literature skills.
I’m enjoying researching topics and using my own experiences from my business life to write my business articles as well as using personal experiences to write about everything else. I’m finding the more I write, the more that I’m finding to write about and the ideas keep coming.
