Happy Tuesday and also happy Blogember Day 19! How are you doing with this challenge? It truly isn't to late to try out a few prompts if you are feeling curious. It really is a wonderful exercise in blogging outside of your comfort zone. If you need to change things up a bit, please feel free to join us and link up! I started this whole endeavor as a way to propel myself forward in writing about different topics I've never approached before and also to meet new people! There are definitely no rules, so don't be shy if you haven't linked up with us yet and want to start today. It really is never too late!

Today's prompt in the challenge is writing about your first job.

Growing up with two self employed parents has been a good thing for me as Rory and I navigate the waters of entrepreneurship. There are so many things you only learn by experiencing them firsthand. My late teenage years were spent helping out and working at either my Dad's music store or my Mom's family trucking company.

During college I started nanny work for a few different families who lived close to campus. Looking back now, I find it oddly hilarious I was a nanny for about five years before I became a mother. The even more amusing thing is that I thought there wasn't really a huge difference between being a nanny and the trenches of motherhood. Hahaha... I know, right? I was overly cocky going into the sacred land of mommahood, but now I actually think that is a good thing. Needless to say, I have been humbled on a grand scale.

Working as a nanny was a fabulous gig. Sure, I was beyond exhausted balancing that and going to school, but I had so much fun. I fell in love with those kids like they were my own. And now that I really do have one of my own, I feel I am allowed to say that. Ha! ;)
