This is not your typical fashion blog post, but today as I sat down with my coffee I realized I only have one thing on my mind. Okay, maybe not one.....maybe one thousand, but that is every morning. Yet, I still sat here with a little grin on my face. You see, while being a fashion designer is my career....who I am, is a mom. I love my job, because being a mom of 10 requires a flexible schedule. Someone always has to be somewhere, kids get sick, and yes, they even get into trouble. Being a fashion designer gives me the opportunities to be at their concerts, sporting events, graduations etc because I can schedule consultations and fittings around their schedules. And lets face it.....having 10 kids definitely requires an income coming in! These kids are the reason I do what I do. So what's so big about that? Being a mom is not news worthy. But what is funny is the significance of this coming Sunday. Most of you will know it as Mother's Day. What you don't know is I have never been one to celebrate this particular day. It has always been one of those days that I wish to just fly by. Why be excited about "This" Mother's Day"?.......well.........this Sunday will mark exactly one year since I married my husband. This Sunday will be one year since I officially became a mother of TEN. Now THAT is something to celebrate! (and maybe even give myself a pat on the back. I survived! LOL)
I thank God every day for all my new ventures. I am so happy I met my husband and even though it is stressful from time to time, I am so happy to have all my 10 children with me every day. And I am thankful that these ten children and my wonderful husband convinced me to get back into the design world and do what I love to do.
