| Boys off down the driveway to catch the bus |
Today my little Tommy has headed off to his first day of school!
He was sooooooooooo excited.
My little boy wouldn't even let me take him in to school, so off he went on the bus with big brother Ollie and I met him in there with his heavy books.
As a mother, farmers wife and business owner I am amazed at how many people have asked what I am going to do with my 'free time'!!!
What free time?
This discussion has come up quite a bit with some of my other friends who are working mothers.
It seems that if you work part time or from home people think you in fact don't work.
Working mothers or mothers working from home more often that not are still trying to fit in everything with no extra help.
There have been times when I have considered closing my business to lessen the load and focus more on my children and home life, but I still need an outlet and interest of my own and so that is why I do it!
Enough said, there is my vent for the day. Now back to the orders, book work and juggling act.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures of your boys. I think many mums out there will appreciate the juggling act you are going through and trying to work out what is best, not only for your family, but for yourself. I certainly do. In the end, a happy mum equals a happy family after all! Enjoy your first child-free day and your book work :)
ReplyDeleteOh aren't they so precious...and venting is so needed isn't it!Have a beautiful week xx
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww. Tommy is a cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteThose back packs are huuuuuge!
I cannot even imagine what it would be like, having to run a business, household and bring up two kids. My sister has two little ones, my mum helps out and looks after the kids at least 3 days a week and she still struggles :(

Oh bless them..so grown up!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, sounds like the tired old discussion about how mums choose to 'work' is still rearing its ugly head. Pay no heed, you do what is right for your family because in the end they are the only people to consider.

Best photos ever - love the big smile!
ReplyDeleteHello Letitia

Have you been listening to my thoughts!!? Ha! I seem to have a list in my head that is being re-shuffled a million times a day! I know I've said it before but gosh your children are good looking! enjoy your hot cuppa every morning while working now! LovT
ReplyDeleteStop it with those gorgeous boys of yours - they are just sooooo delicious!!! Fabulous photos to remember this milestone.
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids Letitia but I totally respect and agree with what you are saying - I find it hard enough to juggle everything, plus you have a husband and two boys to look after! I admire you bella - keep up the fabulous work x
What adorable photos! He looks so happy to be off to school :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids but I often wonder how you ladies that do manage to get everything done!

Hi Letitia, Hope Tommy had a great 1rst day at school...He looked so gorgeous!From what I can tell(following you only as a blogger)you do an amazing job at "mummying"and your chosen "work"You seem to balance the two important things in your life well, in order to look after others you also need to "be yourself"just look at the happy smiles on your boys faces, they tell us their own story...

They are gorgeous Letitia...hope little Tommy is enjoying school! Have a great day :)xx
ReplyDeleteIt is so true.. I think if you don't work in an office there is a n assumption it is not a full time job you have.
ReplyDeleteMine is full time and THEN I do the cleaning and chores alongside have the kids home a few days and work around them and classes etc..
One day I will afford a cleaner, lol.. maybe if I worked in an office I would create less mess? xx
You have put into words the sentiment I feel I am drowning under at the moment. Thanks for sharing. It really makes things seem simpler when you know others go through the same thing..... as I am about to log off at 7pm to clear and wash dinner dishes and put on a load of laundry! You do what you do so well.... keep doing it! x
