I came across this photo recently, and with Mother’s Day weekend here, I’ve found myself reflecting on the fact that I became a mom and started Localee in the very same year.
Safe to say, I wasn’t exactly “ready” for either, but maybe no one ever really is.
Both journeys have stretched me, humbled me, challenged me, and grown me in ways I never expected. Building a business while becoming a mom hasn’t been easy (honestly, much harder than I imagined), but I wouldn’t trade either for anything.
Since then, our family has grown alongside this business, including welcoming our sweet rainbow baby last year. Now with two little boys at home full-time, my workdays look a lot different than they used to. There’s a lot less uninterrupted time, more chaos, more snacks, but somehow even more purpose.
Localee has been built in nap times, late nights, stolen quiet moments, and with a whole lot of determination.
To all of the moms…you are incredible. And to my boys and husband, thank you for being my biggest why.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms doing their best in business, motherhood, and everything in between.
