To the question: "How do you keep up this pace?" I usually answer: "You have to."
Truth is, I know exactly how. As the founder of a family-focused digital communication agency, I juggle a demanding self-employed career, mornings and evenings with my two young children (and full Wednesdays), household management, shopping, admin tasks, outings, and vacation planning—all while running my blogs (this one and Paris des Parents).
I sustain this rhythm thanks to extraordinary moments that punctuate the routine and keep me going.
Yes, I chose this life. Yes, I'm organized (don't let the myth fool you), and it works well. Above all, I'm happy—truly—but I'm tired. Any slip could trigger not just a squall, but a full sandstorm disrupting everything.
So, when I sense fatigue or seasonal blues creeping in—common for me, especially in fall—I create these revitalizing breaks.
Luckily, my blogger status opens doors to unique experiences.
I confess: I embrace them fully.
Thank you.
Fifteen days ago, I tried a one-hour Gua Sha massage at Lanqi (7th arrondissement, Paris). This ancient technique chases away bad moods—imagine my glow afterward. Surprisingly intense, even painful at times, but deeply satisfying. Weird? Absolutely.
That's how I ended up on TEVA TV, interviewed by Marielle Fournier about my blog.
Last week, as e-zabel in a skydiver's jumpsuit, I previewed iFly's indoor skydiving at the new Vill' Up shopping center near the City of Science and Industry (full details on ParisdesParents.fr).
Adrenaline, ego boost, and well-being replenished—I was recharged.
(Oh, and I turned another year older. Glups.)
Fellow overbooked, high-demand moms: Set boundaries, schedule regular self-care, do something just for you. It's essential—for us, and thus for our little ones.
Take care of yourself.
