Working Mom Interview Q & A

I stay at home and manage my business from an onsite detached workshop.

Three

Baked Chicken on the Grill

Mashed Potatoes/Gravy

Green Beans

Iced Tea

4. What are your best tips for staying sane?

Getting up early for quiet work time before the kids get up for school. And then staying up an hour after their bed time to tie up loose ends of the day.

5. What are your favorite tools for time/household management?

Keeping a regular work schedule, including breaks. I find that maintaining a regular schedule keeps your productivity up.

10. If you work, what’s the most rewarding part about it?

The most rewarding part of my work is knowing that I used my best skills to provide a quality product that any bride or wedding planner would be pleased with.

11. If you could choose any career, what would it be?

I would choose to be a lawyer because I like to analyze statistics and how the law applies in different scenarios.

12. If you could tell your younger self something, what would it be?

Don’t let the years go by without pursuing your dreams. Life is not as long as you think. Life is quite short.
