I have a hard time planning to be away for a short vacation, I can't imagine how hard it is to be away for 3 weeks and learn to care for your sweet little girl.

I ended up reopening my Etsy shop a few weeks early because I felt like I had to be doing something productive (because, you know, taking care of an infant isn't time-consuming enough on its own!) I've also been wondering how I make everything work, it's definitely a challenge! I'm sure in our own ways we will each find a way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178785542969579479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-18585025359226219312014-01-16T05:52:29.198-06:002014-01-16T05:52:29.198-06:00A small Business Phone Service can have a huge imp...A small <a href="http://www.telcan.net/businessphone/" rel="nofollow">Business Phone Service</a> can have a huge impact on the success of your business.Lincoln Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441329733931846533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-37054276793593438702014-01-16T03:52:58.061-06:002014-01-16T03:52:58.061-06:00Being a first-time mama is tough - you're horm...Being a first-time mama is tough - you're hormonal, you're sleep-deprived, your body is still adjusting to its post-pregnancy self, and so you spend so much time just wondering if you're doing it right.<br />I just had my 3rd child two weeks ago, but I remember so clearly how difficult it was the first time around. But it was so worth it. Just remember that, and you'll see that as time passes it becomes easier.הזידנריםhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446331115449448667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408906677306311135.post-29132827034465723192014-01-15T21:35:10.015-06:002014-01-15T21:35:10.015-06:00you are doing GREAT! you are doing GREAT!

It's going to be difficult, but you're a champ! You can do it.
