the days i feel great – like i can accomplish anything  - are the days that usually end up with me in the kitchen cooking, cleaning up and taking care of my family.  i know it sounds so 1950s but it’s true.  i feel, and like to feel, like a housewife.  what does that say about me as a woman?  i don’t know, but for me it feels natural, normal and empowering.  yes, i work, yes, i have two children, a husband, and responsibilities outside the home.  i get an immense amount of satisfaction caring for my husband and children. 

i love making them fresh, delicous and nutritious meals, baking bread, keeping a tidy home.  after a day of errands, work, playdates, ect.  i love coming home and whipping up dinner while the kids play around me.  taking care of them is more rewarding than any job i’ve ever had and harder too!

i am very lucky to be able to cater to both sides of my personality.  i enjoy going to the office, interacting with people over the age of 5 and then being able to be home with them more than the average working parents.  working in a family business allows me the opportunity to take them to classes, go on field trips and be a room-mother.  plus, i have wonderful people who help take care of my kids when rich and i are working. 

i am thankful that i do not have to make a decision between staying home with my children and going to work.  my schedule allows me to do both and i wouldn’t trade that for anything – even on the days when work is piling up, the kids are crying for my attention and i have do idea what we are going to have for dinner.
