Mommy Mondays

I am a prime example of why prioritizing is necessary. Every time I teach a class on balancing motherhood and authorship, I stress the importance of not taking on too much. Then what do I do? I set the greatest example of what NOT to do.

If you've noticed, I haven't posted a new "Mommy Mondays" in a couple months. The month of October was insane! I decided it would be a good idea to help out at my kids' schools as much as possible before the baby comes in January. So I ended up heading a PTA activity for the entire school, helping plan and execute the Reflections contest at the school, help plan and participate in both their Halloween parties, and I was in charge of a big activity for my church, and my illustrator finished my next children's book, so I had to release that. Needless to say, I was busy. My poor kids watched way too much Netflix and I became sick with stress. This is why you don't take on too much.

​My next novel was also supposed to release last weekend, but because October was so busy, I had to push my deadlines back a month. I have learned my lesson. I will follow my own advice from now on. I can not do everything. I need to prioritize and let some things go.
