Guest Blogger Thursday: Kinsley's Favorite Bow Maker!



Here is a woman who is quickly turning into my Best Internet Friend! She has a great blog where i LOVE catching up on what her beyond adorable baby girl is up to, AND she has a business, Princess Couture Designs, that well, Kinsley and I just might be her main supporter! Kidding! So many people love her and her mad skills, I'm almost jealous that I have to share her! On any level that you look at she is the all around Super Mom! So here Ladies and Gentlemen is Michellene!


Can a Women really do it all?


Now I'm not here to answer this age old question for everyone.. Simple just myself. Can I do it all.. Maybe but I think the better question is can I do it all WELL? The answer to that is certainly NO

A little back ground on myself..


First and foremost I'm a mommy



My little stinker {14 months old now}


Secondly I'm a wife {1 and 2 are completely interchangeable}


Third I have a full time job at a computer company

Fourth- I run a small online business making hair accessories {Princess Couture Designs}

and Last but not least I also go to school full time....

Don't get me wrong here I'm not complaining at all.. I'm happy where I am but some days I think to myself, what areas of my life are suffering because I've taken on so much...trying to be super mommy! Definitely my sleep has suffered and my reality Tv watching time has suffered but has my relationship with my husband or even my daughter? I often find myself up way past everyone else finishing up some last minute things. I'm guilty of having a laundry pile and sometimes even a dish pile. I am by no means perfect but I'm trying.


While I know the things I take on everyday are for them, they take there toll on all of us. So while I fully believe Women CAN do it all, I intend to start thinking whether I should do it all. Sometime us mommies get so wrapped up in being the "perfect" mom that we forget what really matters... You trying to be the perfect mom and loving your little one already makes you perfect. We are too hard on ourselves sometimes... Its ok if the laundry goes undone or you don't want to make dinner. I guess now I'm just kind of rambling.. I just want all the other mommies and even women in general to know that while you CAN do it all you don't have to.. And you don't have to feel bad if you don't want to!



Being a mommy makes you super woman whether you conquer the world or not!
