Transitioning to a part-time working mom has been a rewarding yet challenging experience. When not working, I'm dedicated to cleaning my home, cooking homemade meals, maintaining my garden, and growing our food. Living in a 100-year-old house in Berkeley, California, means constant care and attention.

My 3.5-year-old daughter keeps me on my toes with her various activities. I'm actively involved in educating and coordinating all aspects of her life, from extracurricular activities, wellness, cultural activities, and community involvement. Becoming a part-time working mom has allowed these to be regular and consistent. 

• Scheduling and managing her classes.
• Ensuring I attend every appointment and care for her when she's ill. 
• Introducing her to arts and culture.
• Teaching her the importance of giving back.
• Exemplifying that a part-time working mom role is also an option for her future. 

Balancing work and family life as a part-time working mom also means making time for myself. I love exercising, reading, journaling, and cultivating my photography hobby. I'm also in the process of writing a book, which has been a rewarding creative outlet. Working as a part-time working mom is a constant juggle, but it allows me to slow down and appreciate these moments.

Our home requires constant organization to keep it running smoothly and utilizing it as a virtual showroom and content backdrop. This includes tackling many loads of laundry and maintaining order in our living spaces. Practical organization is critical to creating a functional and pleasant home environment.

• Keeping up with household chores.
• Ensuring everything has its place.
• Creating a space that works for our family and business.

Working as a part-time working mom while managing a household, raising a child, and running a business is challenging. The world operates at a full-time and beyond speed, and slowing down is a skill that requires willpower and discipline. Building an online store and offering virtual and on-site consultations is a supportive step forward, allowing me to continue working and serving clients while maintaining a part-time schedule.

• Managing time efficiently.
• Practicing patience and discipline.
• Offering convenient shopping for clients.
• Providing personalized design advice virtually and on-site.
• Navigating the challenges of running a business part-time.

Transitioning from a full-time to a part-time working mom role while maintaining your career can be challenging, but it is possible with careful planning and determination. Here are some steps to help you reach that goal:

1. Assess Your Financial Situation:  Determine if part-time work suits your financial needs. Create a budget to understand how the change will impact your income and expenses.
2. Discuss with Your Family:  Approach your family with a well-thought-out plan. Highlight how you can continue to contribute effectively while working part-time. Flexibility and willingness to adjust your schedule can be crucial.
3. Set Clear Boundaries:  Establish precise work hours and stick to them. This will help you manage your time better and ensure your part-time work does not spill over into your personal time.
4. Prioritize Tasks:  Focus on the most critical tasks that add value to your work. Efficiently managing your workload will help you maintain productivity.
5. Seek Support:  Connect with other part-time working mom individuals like me to share experiences and gain insights. Support from a community can provide valuable tips and encouragement.
6. Evaluate and Adjust:  Regularly assess how the part-time arrangement works for you and your family. Be open to making adjustments as needed to find the right balance.
