BCM - How did your life change when you became a mom?

Julie - I have lost some freedom, yet I have gained a great connection and unimaginable love for another human being,  a unconditional love that I have never know before.

BCM - What have been some of your most memorable moments as a mom?

Julie - Moments when we are just relaxing watching TV and he flips over puts his arms around me and says “mom I just love you”””

Moments when he is on the beach and says out of the blue “Life is great”

BCM - What has been the biggest challenge for you in motherhood?

Julie - Keeping a perfect balance life in general, work, the daily tasks of raising a child.  The added task of mother hood has really challenged my ability to juggle it all and keep everything running smooth. 

BCM - How do you manage your work/life balance? Any advice for moms?

Julie - My advice is prepare for no sleep for at least 8-10yrs I assume.  Plan ahead and if you don’t know how to multi task you better start to learn it.  At work you need to have a good assistant and learn to let go a little bit so that you can spend more time with your child. You don’t want to miss anything as they are growing up.

BCM - What activities do you like to do with Harrison?

Julie - Horse drawn carriage rides In central park, is a favorite

Jekyll and Hyde for dinner is his other favorite.

Going for Italian gelato,

Riding horses together outside the city,

This year he makes me go to build a bear monthly to get accessories for his dog.

We sneak up to the gym in my building and he changes channels on the TV while I work out.

BCM - How do you maintain a sense of style while juggling a business and being a mom.

Julie - Keeping in shape, see the last item on the question above,

Hair extensions if you don’t have time to get a blow out

As far as my clothing, read magazines and send a messenger to the store to pick up the items or order online , I don’t have time to shop anymore.

BCM - If you could give another mom or expectant mom one piece of advice, what would it be?

Julie - Prepare ahead, make sure you know it can be very trying at times,

Make sure your husband realizes he will no longer be “ the center of your universe””””””

Enjoy every moment, if you get frustrated walk away and remember how lucky you are to have been able to create your little devil.  Its very trying and tough at moments but in the end its all very well worth it.
