She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, lamp does not go out at night. 

- Proverbs

This quote rings so true to many moms who own a business, work for a business, going to school for business, or dreams of owning a business one day. The day in day out laboring of owning a business is tedious, challenging, and sacrificial. Many of my moms are entrepreneurs and have started or are involved in multiple businesses at once. It's amazing to watch these moms succeed through their businesses, and still have time to raise their families. 

I know that with a business many times you're up all night trying to push out a project, or fulfilling client orders, and rest... well that seems really far away. But one thing I've learned from my moms is that REST is essential. No one is perfect, but if you dont plan for rest, rest will never come. I love how my moms spend their rest days. Many take trips, many sit at home away from a computer, many go to the park, many go to the beach, or have a Disney date with their kids. I love it all. The work-life-balance is normally a struggle for many, but for my mom's they've learned to embrace the challenge and move on with their priorities, all the while not losing site of their goals.

For the future, Katzy and I plan to be stay at home parents. We're currently working hard to make that a financial possibility. Being surrounded by moms who are business women, but still have time for their family is so encouraging. I had always thought that with a business you had to choose, Your Family OR Your Business. Many times your business may win. But when you put your family as your priority, your FAMILY will always win. For us, we're going to choose our family. This is our public statement. And as I plan my own family to be, I want to make my family number 1. 

Thank you Moms for choosing your family to be YOUR priority. To making your family number 1 in your to-do lists, and at the top of your goals. Thank you for choosing happiness over wealth, because without happiness in your families, wealth is lonely. Thank Moms for all your sacrifices and the things you've given up to make your families GO. It's because of YOU. Thank you!!!
