Running a small business while raising a family is a rewarding journey – but let’s be real, it’s no easy feat! From packing orders between school drop-offs to brainstorming designs during nap time, I’m sharing what it’s really like to balance work and family, along with a few tips that help me keep it all together (most days).
Each day starts with a to-do list, whether it’s a long one or just the top three things I need to get done. Prioritizing helps me focus, and there’s a bit of satisfaction in checking things off – even the small stuff like “send an email” or “order more shipping supplies.”
No one does it all alone, and I’ve learned that asking for help doesn’t make me any less capable. Whether it’s leaning on family for a bit of childcare or outsourcing small tasks, having support makes a world of difference.
There’s always something more I could be doing for the business, but setting boundaries allows me to be present with my family. I try to take intentional breaks from work and enjoy quality time with my kids – they’re my inspiration, after all!
Sometimes, I’ll bring my kids along for a trip to the post office or ask for their opinions on designs. Including them in small ways reminds me why I started this business in the first place and creates some sweet memories along the way.
Balancing a family and a business is a journey filled with highs, lows, and a whole lot of love. To everyone juggling these roles – you’ve got this, one step at a time! Thank you for being part of the Lily Taylor Designs family and supporting our journey.
