Life has been a whirlwind lately, and finding balance between all of my responsibilities has been more challenging than ever. Homeschooling has been a big part of our daily routine, along with extra-curricular activities, and it takes so much time and energy. There’s a constant juggling act between lesson planning, teaching, and trying to ensure my kids stay engaged and excited about learning. It’s a rewarding, yet exhausting experience, and there are days when I feel like I’m falling behind, even though I’m doing my best to keep up with everything.

In addition to homeschooling, I’ve also been helping Josiah with pursuing his acting career, managing his Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. It’s something he’s passionate about and I always want to feed his passions. I must say, it hasn’t been easy to make as much time for it all with everything else that is going on. School comes first. Acting brings him such a sense of fulfillment and creativity to his life. I love seeing my son thrive doing what makes him happy. Acting has also opened the door for him to meet some incredible people and have amazing experiences. As his mom, I am constantly shifting between being the teacher, creative partner, and of course, mom. The mom trying to hold everything together.

While managing these commitments, a house renovation has also been a priority. There’s always something that needs to be updated. Whether it’s plumbing, organizing clutter, making sure the house is clean and safe for everyone, the work is never done. It’s a reminder that being a homeowner is not just about enjoying your home but also investing time and effort into making it a comfortable and loving place to live.

On top of everything, I’ve been dealing with the worry and stress of having a sick parent. It’s difficult to watch someone you love struggle with their health, and the emotional and financial toll is hard to put into words. Caring for a sick parent requires constant attention, and sometimes it feels like there’s not enough of me to go around. I’ve been trying to stay strong for them while I’m still managing my own family’s needs, but it’s a challenge I didn’t expect to face at this stage of life.

Finally, the uncertainty surrounding my daughter’s health has been weighing heavily on mind. We’ve been trying to get a proper diagnosis for her, and navigating the medical world has been incredibly frustrating and stressful. Between doctor’s appointments, tests, and waiting for results, it feels like an endless process. As a mother, it’s heartbreaking not to have all the answers yet, but I’m doing everything I can to support her and advocate for the care she needs.

In these busy, overwhelming times, I try to remind myself that it’s okay to not have it all figured out. Life is a delicate balancing act and sometimes the best thing I can do is keep showing up, even when I don’t have all the answers. To be completely transparent, sometimes I don’t have the emotional capacity either. Every day is a new challenge, but also an opportunity to grow, learn, share, and adapt to whatever comes my way.
