This Video Of Crew Gaines Wreaking Havoc On Mom Joanna's Store Will Make Your Day
Chip and Joanna Gaines are busy building their media empire.
They're also raising five kids.
Joanna admits that she no longer strives for balance in a candid new post.
Joanna Gaines is all about wholeness right now. The former Fixer Upper star and future media mogul is done searching for balance in her crazy world, which includes raising five kids, starting a TV network, managing her growing Magnolia Market compound, and writing books, to name a few.
She admitted in a new post on her site that “Ultimately, I decided that balance is way too meticulous a science to get just right in my daily life.” Instead, Joanna is working toward “wholeness for my family and for my work.”
Part of that is finding ways to merge her professional and family responsibilities after years of keeping them separate.
“I believed that dividing up each part of my life would help me more easily keep an eye on all that I was carrying, so that I could know for sure when I started to fall short somewhere,” she explained. “But no matter where my focus was supposed to be, thoughts about the many other things that held a place in my mind and my heart would inevitably creep in. And guilt was never far behind, taking its cue that I had crossed some sort of working mom boundary.”
Now, however, she’s focusing on bringing the two together. Since she and husband Chip are so busy, she’s taken measures to ensure her children can be right by their side. “I’ve carved out intentional spaces for them to spend their afternoons after school,” she said.
But with baby Crew well into walking, he does require more of a watchful eye. In a video revealing the stunning Magnolia Market fall design, Joanna opened up about what it’s like having Crew at the store now that he’s older.
“Crew, a year ago, he was in my arms, sleeping most the time,” she said, with the full clip showing the adorable tot wandering around and knocking over items. “Now he’s walking and I definitely have to keep my eyes on him. It’s a different ballgame with a 1-year-old who walks in the shop.”
Still, she loves having her little coworker by her side, and even says Crew is reminiscent of her and Chip's oldest son, Drake.
“It just reminds me of the good ole days,” she said.
