what has kept me shooting:

Having one of these carriers. There is a similar company, which does a lot more styles, that is doing a giveaway here. You only have til sunday, so if you think something like this could help you, go over and enter!

You can't tell it from my pictures, but there is a whole lotta E on my back in a carrier in my life. It helps me keep a nice house AND be involved in my community. It enables me to have my baby close while I get the essentials done. (Close proximity for the kisses isn't bad either) Being able to have her happy completely works for T, also, when he is taking the kids out on the town. Having one is the best thing for our family. The weight limits work for both of our kids, so having this has helped us MOUNDS in being able to hike last summer.

Sometimes it is hard to balance the family and the creative. What am I saying? It is ALWAYS hard to balance the two. But having the right tools seriously helps.
