Full Time mom

Sometimes I feel like I have two full time jobs...It's because I do! No matter how tired I am after not getting a full night sleep then working 8 hours at Kansas Athletics, I still have another 8 hour shift that starts around 5:00pm. Thank GOD for JT and his help! I know I am not alone with this struggle and desire to be at home.I have a new respect for working moms, especially moms with multiple children. 


Sadly, being a stay at home mom isn't a reality for our family. We have to have two incomes to pay the bills. I was certain I wanted to be a stay at home mom until I was one for 11 weeks (maternity leave) I now know that part time is my dream! Now where the hell are my ruby slippers? I truly feel I am a better mom because I work. It is good for Isaiah to be away from us and around other kids. I cannot say enough great things about our daycare provider, Teri Gouge. We are so lucky to have found her. I have absolutely zero stress about leaving Isaiah in her hands. Teri and her husband Kim are simply wonderful! 




Zaya with Teri :)


Around 2:00 each day the clock stops...I am SO ready to pick up and cuddle my babe. I can't even describe the joy I feel when I pick him up each night.


A friend of mine shared the below article "5 reasons your company needs more moms" which is 100% true I think. The author of this article gets it...I wish more employers did.  http://www.inc.com/stacey-epstein/why-you-should-hire-more-moms.html


For now, I will continue to put my whole heart into my job with Kansas Athleitcs. I have a TON of passion for my Jayhawks and the success of all Jayhawk teams which helps. It also helps that I absolutely LOVE the people I work with. This month we got to take a half day away from our desks to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity. http://lawrencehabitat.org/ What a wonderful experience! I learned how to use a nail gun and a saw. Scary I know. Helping build a house for someone less fortunae was eye opening. It made me so greatful to get a paycheck and to have such a nice roof over my head. God is good!

We worked on the roof

sexy tool belts :)

Working on the roof was SCARY! Amazing I use to let men  college aged males throw me up in a basket toss and didn't think twice about it. Funny how things change when you're older. Turns out I am not invincible.

Since work is my home away from home, I decided a little decor would make my office easier to come to. It didn't really work, but I do love a cheery office. :)

I did a little DIY project using: wrapping paper (cheap cheap after Christmas) Canvas, and some block letters from Hob Lob.

LOVE how this turned out
