It’s parenting, but not as I knew it…

A while back I started a blog on entrepreneurship and business. I felt that I couldn’t really talk about those topics on Littlemummy.com as it ‘diluted’ the content which I felt should be predominantly about parenting.

I feel that as a result I now have two blogs, neither of which are a true reflection of who I am. In retrospect I also didn’t consider that being a parent is more than just days out and big events like starting school, it’s about how it changes you as a person, how you make a living to support your family, how you make it all ‘fit’. Not blogging about all those other things isn’t being true to what being a parent is all about. So basically I’m going to merge the two blogs back together and have a seperate category for ‘littlemumpreneur’. I’ve also changed my tagline to include my new status :)

To bring you back up to date then, apart from Erin starting school on Wednesday(!) I’ve just started a business and I’m starting University on the 6th September. It’s parenting, but not as I knew it.

It’s a new phase and some big changes are afoot, I’m excited and a little anxious that it all works out. My baby, toddler, preschool and stay at home mum days are behind me and that makes me feel both relieved and a little sad.

Here’s to the future and a new, different kind of journey. A journey that will feature school, a new business, a degree and hopefully lots more fun and no doubt challenges.

Here’s to the future.

    Your ‘new’ life sounds quite a jigsaw puzzle, so the very best of luck making all the pieces fit. And school on Wednesday – it’s still summer! Not fair!

    Lots and lots of luck Erica. What an exciting time!

    So much is changing with me too – it’s hard to work out your new self in the middle of all the change. I guess it’s like all the jigsaw pieces haven’t quite found their new pattern yet, at least, that’s what it feels like for me!

    Here’s to the future, absolutely :) x

    I’ve found that trying everything and seeing what sticks has worked for me. It’s taken a while but I feel like I’m getting there now.

    I think a lot will come out of your trip and the experiences you’re about to have :)

    To your new life! Am really excited for you!! Can’t wait to hear your news.
    Sometimes it seems sensible to separate different parts of your life, but when you become a parent it’s all in one big pot isn’t it!
    Good luck with the new projects and look forward to your updates!
