Consists of a hard balance between being Mom and being a student. I still take pictures and videos but the blog has suffered. This semester has me very busy with a TON of homework and projects outside of just my in school hours. By the second week of school I found myself being a very VERY grumpy and not so nice Mommy. I was stressed and felt like I would never get caught up. I had to make a decision about my priorities and figure out exactly how to create a balance. I decided that each week I would get at least one day a week where I would do NO homework. This not only gives me a break but also gives Ava the attention and quality time she deserves. I also made a decision to stay up a few extra hours at night to work on homework while Ava sleeps. This does mean I am more tired during the week but on my no homework day I let myself nap with Ava and that seems to help. It's much easier accomplishing and finishing my homework when I'm not being tugged at by a little blond munchkin saying Mom, come and sit. I mean really how can you say no to that.

To keep your balance you must keep moving."
