Jitters Cafe in North Chili, New York, was bustling this Sunday morning with many customers, from young to old. However, the youngest person in the shop was Clara, at only 6 months old.
Clara is the daughter to Meghan Schubmehl of Irondequoit, who was at Jitters because she needed some caffeine to make up for the loss of sleep from the night before.
Schubmehl explained to me how she began her journey as a mother with her daughter Clara, and she could not be loving it more.
“I have a full time job so it’s hard to be working mom, but being a mom is a lot more fun than I ever knew it would be,” Schubmehl said.
Schubmehl is an attorney and explained how since she became a mother she has to cram 8-9 hours of work into a 6-7 hour work day in order to care for Clara.
Besides being a mother and an attorney, Schubmehl said she would like to be defined as a person who is kind, funny, and does the right thing.
“I want to be a good role model for, not just Clara, but for especially younger women and children,” Schubmehl said.
Schubmehl said other than having Clara, the most significant turning point in her life was when she met her husband ten years ago. They met just before Schubmehl left for New York City to go to law school, and once she finished school she moved back to Rochester to be with him.
Schubmehl says “it was a fork in the road,” but now they are married and have the newest addition to their family, baby Clara, marking the beginning of their newest journey.
