Finding me times three!

I think the hardest part about having a passion in life is having a passion and being a mom. I know it's not impossible and I see so many successful moms, but I do think it's a tough balancing act and to find your footing. I have three, yep added one more sweet baby boy joy to my clan, and each time I've had my boys I invest in myself a little and start to learn new tricks and techniques with how to do what's on trend for the moment makeup look and really get going on my fb page and blog and portfolio. But then somehow I put myself and my passions to the side because momma duties call.

Now, I know these goals are still there, but it takes me just a little bit of time each time to find myself (Carly person before kids and Carly person with kids who still loves all things beauty) after I give birth. Don't get me wrong,  I ENJOY every moment of the time I spend with my babies. Being momma is the best things in the world and I wouldn't change that for anything. But it's the balance that takes a hot min to find. ♡ We all eventually get there.

When I talk about goals I'm referring to my love for makeup and hair and eating healthy, working out, blogging, starting an LLC., all that fun girly stuff. I'm four months, almost five now,  post preggo from my third pregnancy and I've had that itch to get back at it so much sooner than the previous two times. With lots of days feeling guilty for wanting to focus more on myself and do the things I love all while working full time, I am teaching myself balance, compromise. My boys are my WORLD, and although I'm more motivated than ever to keep pushing towards my goals, I have only these few years until they become to old to want to snuggle or hang out with me. I struggle with not being able to spend enough time on myself  and I have days where I wish I could do it all, but I'm human.
The future holds so much for me and all the new things I want to do. I appreciate all the love and support of my family in helping me achieve my dreams. I'm ready to put both my loves of being mommy (wife too) and makeup artist and give it all new meaning for myself.
