Hello!
Hello! I’m so glad you stopped by!
I’m Gillian, a working mom of a 4 year old boy and a one year old girl. I have always had a passion for the Spanish language and travel and I ended up meeting my husband on a university trip to Cuba! (Note to all parents out there: don’t send your children on college trips to Cuba! 😉)
I always knew that I was going to be a working mom once I had children, but after struggling with infertility and miscarriage, and finally being blessed with our son, my heart changed. Being a working mom was not fulfilling for me.
In the evenings after work, I began looking for side hustles and ways to make an income from home so I could have more time with my son. By the time my daughter was born, I dreaded the thought of going back to work after maternity leave.
I know there are so many moms out there that feel the same way I do and are desperate to find a way to stay home with their children.
I am passionate about creating a community for like-minded working moms! Through this blog, I share ways to live well on less, side hustles that can help you start making an income from home, and helpful tips on all things lifestyle and motherhood.
It is my hope that my experiences and things that I have learned along the way can help those of you who are struggling with these things as well!
I am so happy that you have found my blog and I hope you stick around! Feel free to contact me at gillian@thedarlingdays.com, or via Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. I would love to hear from you!
