Balancing Act

Late nights have become a new normal for me in this stage of life. I work part-time for a styling company that really requires my full attention, and the easiest time to get that? It's after the kids are all tucked into bed. I feel as though I pray and pray to become a morning person, and I've started to add in more rhythms that make me look forward to that time of day, yet each season it never fails... sleepless nights with little ones who need extra snuggles, work schedules getting moved around to give clients 1:1 attention, and here we are now just writing about nothing and a dream all at the same time.

I want to say that I started this blog in 2015, then I archived everything and started it again in 2023... and here we are 2025 with a little more wisdom (I like to hope?) and a lot less time to dedicate to something like this but I really want to. So, I guess this post is to say if it's on your heart for a long time maybe give it a try. I think I just like to overshare and a blog truly would have been the best place for me to start ten years ago, and if it's still on my heart? Let's give it another go. So, here we are. Late night and all.

I think most of the day ends up being a balancing act anyway, so as I awake to a morning aglow with a candle to warmly encourage the morning, sweet baby snuggles to savor, and the pitter-patter of big feet, I may be a little sleepier, but I know I will be happy that I stayed up a little while longer to jot something down. Like a live diary. And a hope to live the day out a little more balanced... but knowing it won't be and that's okay.
