September is my crazy month. Our team attends 2 tradeshows, and this year they were back to back in Las Vegas and then Boston. This means I’m on the road – a lot! Added to that, my husband (who is a teacher), goes back to work/school – and it’s extra hard when I’m gone because he leaves for school at 6:30 a.m. So, my logistics get a bit challenging to say the least!

This September was even crazier than usual because my little Emily had a sinus infection and then developed a very high fever - which turned out to be roseola (a nasty virus that is quite common in kids under two – she’s absolutely recovered and fine now!). There’s nothing worse than being away from home when your little one is sick. I flew home early from Boston to be with her and care for her – thank goodness I have an amazing co-founder and team to help cover when needed.

I hear similar stories from so many moms trying to make it all work. Sometimes I think that my life as a mom is really about logistical management – perhaps my title should be Vice President, Logistics! I love my work and I love my family, but sometimes I wonder how I keep all the balls in the air. What do you do to keep it together? How do you make it all happen? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Warmly,
Leslie
