Good morning from a warm matcha day (which means I needed extra comfort, lol). In this DIML, I’m taking you through a very real Friday as a small business owner in my third trimester—aka balancing “normal” business work, content creation, and all the baby prep/nursery brain that’s happening at the same time. I start with a computer work block (emails + collab notes), then I break up my day with a UPS drop because right now I *have* to alternate moving and resting or my body is not happy (hello swelling ankles + locked fingers/carpal tunnel). I also talk about how I’m shifting toward scheduling pickups soon so I’m not carrying a bag of packages forever. Midday is my content block because the natural light is best in my house around noon, so I’m bulk filming (yes, outfit changes and all). I also share some behind-the-scenes business stuff: new Vistaprint packaging restocks (water-activated tape + thank you cards), why I’m focusing on more consistent branding, and how I’m learning to be a better “boss/manager” as I outsource more (especially with postpartum in mind). Then we get into thrifting for nursery + DIY projects, laundry multitasking, and prepping fabric to ship to my sewist for spring inventory—plus my ongoing mission to use what I already own instead of hoarding cute supplies I forget about.
