Hey-Nay

A place to be enlightened, encouraged & inspired

Hey!!! Welcome!

November 26, 2016

Hey! Welcome to my little neck of the web! This blog is associated with my YouTube Channel. The place where I will post recipes, share links for things mentioned on my channel & host giveaways. Every so often, I might be pulled to write a little something I find interesting, funny or enlightening. If I’m being completely honest, I try to keep everything as simple as possible & often times refer to myself as lazy AF. You will notice most of my recipes are easy, quick yet delicious because honestly, who’s got time to slave in the kitchen?

I, like many of you, am extremely busy with wifey/mommy/work duties & have limited time to peruse social media. I plan to keep my post’s short & succinct so you can easily get what you came for & be on your merry way! I’m just getting back into blogging so please pardon the construction while I navigate this platform & perfect my posting skills! 

 Feel free to ask questions, leave comments or suggest other awesome things you might want to share as well! Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate you!

Work Life Balance

January 17, 2016

All throughout adulthood, I have struggled with finding the right balance between work & life. As my career took off & our family expanded, maintaining balance proved to be extremely difficult! Over the last decade, the scale has almost always been heavier on one side more then the other.

With our first child, both my husband & I held full time jobs. Financially, it wasn’t feasible for me to stay home.  I was fortunate that we were stationed at home in Hawaii & I had my grandmother to help babysit but sadly I missed out on a lot of my oldest son’s milestones. Work took up a lot of my time in my twenties.  

When we had my two younger children, we were stationed in an area where we knew no one & family baby sitting wasn’t an option. If I continued to work, my entire paycheck would have gone to a babysitter & so we decided to make some sacrifices so I could stay home with the kids.  Once my younger two were in elementary, I started to get back into the work force, the scales weighed heavily toward family life.  I made sure to plan my therapy practice around their school & extra curricular activities. As they got bigger and didn’t need me as much, I was able to take on more hours & my business started to boom.  Such a double edge sword. I loved my practice, wanted to excel & to grow but all the work it took to continue forward momentum meant cutting into family time.  Again the scales were off balance.  In 2015 I have hustled to get my life more in sync with giving almost equal time to both work & family.  

Daily I speak to women about this exact same struggle.  This problem plagues not only working moms but also SAHM’s as well. This constant battle can be so exhausting & while I hear what’s broken, I also hear the underlying theme of being overwhelmed & at a loss for how to remedy. I firmly believe in order to fix something, you have to know what’s broken, why it’s broken & what’s holding you back.  In order to do so, I’ve come up with a worksheet to map out your own work/life balance!  I’d love to share it with you. Just click the box below!
