Hi ,
Welcome to my Blog ! So delighted to finally be sharing my first post. It has taken me so much time to sit down and think about what I wanted to share on my first post ... and then I got to thinking... time.
A core value I want to address with Mookie & Boo products is time, we have simply run out. When was the last time you took guilt free time for yourself , time to take a long bath or read a book without filling your head with all the jobs you have to do.
Lets face it being a mom to 3 little dudes is hard, my kids are 7, 4 and 5 months. I have no time... I am exhausted. I have so much to juggle as all my little dudes have different needs and I need to meet them all. My life has become a constant quest for balance. I adore my kids, hands down they are my greatest achievement but I find, like many moms, I am dealing with guilt. Woman are now under so much pressure to be the perfect mom / wife. Look amazing and spend hours in the gym. We are expected to have amazing careers and run the perfect home. We have simply become overloaded.
I have worked in the beauty industry for over 20 years. I remember as a young 20 something year old therapist moms would come in to the salon for a wax and be so happy to be in that calm space for 30 mins. I used to laugh saying "but waxing is not relaxing", but now I get it. It's time ... time for yourself.
So let me leave you with this... I have become precious with my time, please do the same for yourself it is vital to your wellbeing. Spend your time wisely, surround yourself with positive people , sit on the floor and play with your kids , eat with them at every mealtime. Don't sweat the small stuff, your kids won't remember a perfectly tidy house but they will remember the days you played together. Look after yourself, spend time on your own, be with yourself, practice yoga, meditate or why not just go for a walk.
The greatest gift you can give someone is your time. When you give your time you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back, life is short spend it with people who make you laugh and feel loved.
Love Suzie x
