I'm trying to juggle having a baby and getting back to work.. And let me tell you that it's not easy at all! When I'm with the baby the phone rings off the hook for work, and when I'm away from Phares I feel super guilty that I'm not there so I try to get back as soon as possible. I know it may be a little early to get back to work already, but to be honest, I needed to do that for several reasons. First of all when you own your own business, it's not like you can just take a maternity leave and not really care about what's going on at work (that's the not so rosy side of being your own boss), because the bakeries are somehow my little babies too, and I need to be on top of things as much as possible. Now even though I have a fabulous team at Kitsch Cupcakes I still feel like I can't leave the place for too long :) Another reason for getting back to work was that I'm not really familiar with being home so much.. I used to have such a hectic routine and going from being super busy to being at home all the time was a huge change for me.. So now I'm trying to juggle both, working and being a new mommy.. I don't leave my little angel for too long, and that's when running your own business and being able to manage your own time is just lovely!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003ENow one major feeling I'm having to deal with is a little bit of guilt.. Am I doing the right thing? Should I not be away from home at all? What if something happens and I'm not there (inshAllah never), what if I'm missing out on things, etc, etc.. But then a few days ago I took a decision, that I will manage my time wisely, be home when he's awake and try to still maintain my working life to a certain extent..

But today he spent the day with friends, as I was enjoying some lovely \"me time\" watching Grey's Anatomy and catching up on some stuff.. I actually ordered in today, since for once I was not in the mood to cook.. I ordered grilled fish and a salad as I'm trying to watch it a little these days, but then munched on Rafaello chocolates which kind of defeated the purpose.. So in the name of fish and light meals, I am posting the last of the Harper's Bazaar's detox menu..
