It's Not Always So Great To Be

I Did Research When I Was Pregnant With My First Daughter And Was Horrified By The Chemicals In Products, Even Those Meant For Babies. I Would Have To Go To 50 Different Places Just To Get My House And My Kid Clean.

When I Went From Girl Body To Woman Body And All Of A Sudden I Had Tits And Hips And A Little Tummy And Natural Fat In Places, I Freaked Out.

I Guess For Me, Balance Isn't About Treating Your Time Like A Pie Chart And Dividing It Into Equally Sized Slices For You, The Kids, Work, And So On. It's About The Quality Of How You Spend Your Time, Not The Quantity--are You Being Present And Focused On Whatever You're Doing While You're Doing It? I Truly Believe That's How You Can Be The Best Version Of Yourself, Whether You're In Work Mode, Mom Mode, Or Wife Mode. When I Know I'm Giving My Undivided Attention In Each Of These Areas, I Don't Feel So Guilty About The Time Spent Away From Them.

I'm Not Incredibly Self-conscious. I Don't Really Feel Like I Walk Around Making Fashion Or My Appearance The Most Important Thing In The World. It's Certainly Not The Way That I Live My Life. I'm Not Really Sure How The Magazines Perceive Me Because I Don't Read Them.

My Mind Is Constantly In Five Different Places, But Golf Is Great Because It Forces You To Focus Completely And Purely On What You're Doing.
