Online store allows mum to work at home ... Michelle Walsh wears an eye mask she designed and sells from her Tamarama home, with Montana, 5, and Makenzie, 2
Model turned fashion designer Michelle Walsh discovered she was pregnant with her first child while working on the television series Escape With ET.
She went back to work when Montana was six weeks and found the balancing act delicate. "I was juggling, trying to breast feed and get on a plane at 6am to go somewhere to shoot," she said.
"That showed me that it is possible to cram everything in as long as you have the drive to do it. It was only once we decided to have a second child that we thought raising two children and working on a show where you travel a lot isn't the greatest combination."
So Michelle launched Mrs Walsh, an online business that she can manage from home while raising her daughters, Montana, now 5, and Makenzie, 2.
"It works brilliantly because I'm still working but spending as much time as possible with the kids," she said. The key was making sure her priorities were right.
