The Latest on the Lowes

We started this blog to share the transformation of our 1926 fixer...but with time and the addition of kids it has become my way of documenting two childhoods...the triumphs, moments of hilarity, lessons learned and everything in between.

Working Mom Woes


I went back to work and to say the least it's been tough. My team is very family-friendly and I honestly couldn't ask for a better boss when it comes to supporting work/life balance, but the bottom line is that people here work all day, everyday. I used to be fine with being on email at night and on the weekends, but now that time belongs to Lily. Of course January is mid-year and therefore busier, but still I can see how the balancing act will be a much bigger challenge than I had anticipated. It also doesn't help that Lily has become increasingly vocal and smiley - how would you feel leaving this darling little Pie at KinderCare every day?? My first step to achieving balance...I am breaking down and getting a housekeeper. I never thought I would, but a chore-free weekend will do wonders towards making our weekend family time better. Any recommendations??
