Tonight really broke a little piece of my heart. 💔
After receiving a phone call from school to say that my Archie, my 11-year-old boy who absolutely loves school, had broken down in tears in class, I honestly didn't know what to expect.
When asked what was upsetting him, he finally opened up and said:
"I miss my mum. She's working so hard and I just want to spend time alone with her."
And just like that, everything stopped.
I've spent so much time building, grafting, growing, working every hour I can and trying to create a better future for my three boys. But somewhere along the way, I've allowed myself to get caught up in the constant demands of life and work.
I work hard because of my boys, but tonight I've been reminded that they don't just need the future I'm trying to build for them. They need me in the present, too.
I can't get these childhood years back. I can't keep telling myself I'll slow down when things get quieter, because there's always another job, another invoice, another commitment.
It's time to get my priorities back in order.
Krystalklean will always be something I'm incredibly proud of, but being their mum will always come first.
Tonight wasn't just a wake-up call. It was a reminder of what all this hard work is actually for.
My babies don't need a mum who does everything. They need a mum who's there. ❤
