Backpacks, Business Plans,
and Burnt Toast
The Back-to-School
Balancing Act
of Mompreneurs
ugust. That magical time of
year when Target aisles are
bursting with Crayola
markers, pencil cases, and
parents visibly weeping into
their PSLs (yes, pumpkin
spice has already made an
early appearance,
and frankly, we deserve it). It’s also the time
when mom entrepreneurs — or as I lovingly call
us, "mompreneurs" — find ourselves trying to
remember how we survived last year’s chaos
and convincing ourselves this year will somehow
be smoother.
Spoiler alert: It won’t be smoother.
But it can be more intentional. And a whole lot more
fun — if we let it.
So grab your coffee (reheated for the third time),
tuck the lunchboxes into backpacks like a pro, and
let’s talk about the glorious, messy, and hilarious life
of being a mom entrepreneur in back-to-school
season.
