The title of this blog is MsFIRE Mama. It\u2019s deliberate and I have yet to talk about the \u201cmama\u201d component of FIRE and real estate investing. My husband Chad and I are proud parents of a two-year-old girl and we can’t wait to welcome our baby boy this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I first started fantasizing about what my life would look like financially free, the focus was on travel — seeing places I always wanted to go, living in areas to see how I liked them and participating in my favorite hobbies (triathlons, half-marathons and yoga) around the the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I became a mother, a lot of things came to the surface that I expected, and then some that I didn\u2019t. I expected to struggle with work-life balance, but I didn\u2019t expect that figuring out what kind of mom I wanted to be would be difficult to pinpoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to show my kids that you can be a woman with a high-powered career and still care about family. I also want to know my kids and be able to attend events and activities that are important to them. I want to show my children that taking care of yourself, working hard, prioritizing health and fitness are choices and the benefits outweigh the costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
