Busy Moms Unite. Are You Overscheduled?

by David Glasser on September 28, 2009

Hello, this is my first blog posting.  In fact, I didn’t even know what a blog was until a few months ago.  Now, I’m blogging and setting up Twitter and Facebook accounts, and trying to figure out how all this works.  Of course, I need to pull out my “Busy Mommy Calendar” and see when I have a few spare moments to make all these new connections.

I am a mother of two and like most, find myself living an overscheduled and time-pressured lifestyle.  Not complaining, it’s completely self-inflicted.  I know I volunteer for too many activities, the family travels too often, my kids play on too many teams, attend too many birthday parties/playdates, and my husband and I both work.  And despite my mother’s “encouragement”, my family doesn’t want to change or give up one thing.

I look for other ways to help simplify and accept this albeit “crazy –overscheduled time” as a full life for my family.   It really helps that I can work part-time with a start-up company, First Juice Inc.  As the VP of Marketing & Development, I can appreciate moms who want to know the facts, keep it short and to the point.  So hopefully our First Juice message, is just that, “the best first juice® for your child”  in the most convenient packaging!
