Welcome to MomSeekingOM.com!!! My Blog aims to offer all professional parents a place to vent and find solutions to their most common problems. Let’s be REAL, parenting is very difficult and being a parent while working full time is 10x more difficult. Yet, we love our children and we want to be the best parents possible for them; but, we do not want to lose ourselves in the requirements of our everyday tasks. After all, we were “someone” other than being “Mom” or “Dad” prior to becoming parents and we would like to find our way back to being that person again.

I hope you find in our pages simple solutions to common problems, ideas that will help you achieve simple tasks in very little time, similar venting out moments of stress relief and self care snippets that will help you carry out your responsibilities without feeling like your are going through a “to-do” list.

My hope is that you go back to being you, the old YOU, while caring for your family. You can have it all, your work and your family. You just need to find balance between being a professional and a parent. There is so much to us, we are creative, we have dreams, we like different things, we are interesting and we have so much to offer. But, sometimes it all becomes too much and our balancing act does not go to well.

In our Blog you will find inspiring articles that will help you achieve your daily goals as a Professional Parent. These articles will help you find that inner strength to: 1) change old habits and create new ones; 2) carry an idea all the way to action; 3) create your own simple solutions; and 4) become who you feel you should be.

MomSeekingOM wishes you a life with purpose. May you find the balance between being a professional and a parent. Professional Parents Rock!!!

Nika is my childhood nickname and my pen name. I am a professional mother, a lawyer with her own practice. Also, I am a wife and a mother of two small children. Needless to say, my life is hectic, chaotic and beautiful, all at the same time.

We have a blended family as my husband and I were born in two very different parts of the world. After becoming parents our lives changed drastically and with those changes our relationship also changed. We often found ourselves looking back and thinking “what are we doing wrong?”. Well, it turned out, we were doing everything and nothing wrong. Children do not come with an instruction manual and what works with one child it will not necessarily work with the other. Parenting can be frustrating. We were too hard on ourselves and also controlling. We were not letting life happen.

As a professional mother and lawyer I found myself feeling guilty for having a career and not spending enough time with my children. I also found myself without the time to do necessary things like cleaning the house, doing laundry, cooking and taking care of myself. I stopped doing things I enjoyed like reading and writing and spending time with friends. It was at that point that I decided to seek help and change what I thought was wrong. Seeking help was expensive and at times frustrating. However, I have found ways to better myself and finding that balancing scheme that has helped me overcome frustrations and become a better professional and a better mom. Although, I have to admit that sometimes it is still difficult, the difference is that now I realize that the is not the end of the world. I stop and breathe and forgive myself and then continue on.

I hope that you too find balance in your life and I wish is to help you as much as I can. I’m here for you; write to me whenever you want.

Xoxo, Nika!
