For the longest time in my early years of motherhood I was plagued with guilt.  Anytime I wasn’t sitting on the floor doing Duplo or engaging in whatever toy they were currently obsessed with I’d tell myself I wasn’t being “a good mum”. In other words, any time that wasn’t spent connecting with my kids […]

Leading up to the holidays I’m always thinking “This is going to be great! I’m not going to have to make lunches every day. I’m going to get quality time with my kids!”.  But then I’m in the thick of it thinking “When is this going to end! Why does it have to be Two, […]

There’s a lot of mistakes we’ve all made in business at some point. Perhaps you’ve hired the wrong person, found your books to be in a mess come tax time, or desperately thrown money at paid advertising without a clear sales funnel to back it up. And then there’s another “bucket” of mistakes entirely—ones that […]
