A New Beginning

After working as a Retail Store Manager and hardly ever seeing my family, my husband and I have decided we will make it affordable for me to stay home! After a month of being at home with my children, I have lots of ideas on what to do with my time. First, I had to catch up on all the housework! Yes, it was an early spring cleaning. After accomplishing that task, I had to re-teach myself how to manage those daily tasks such as laundry, cooking, cleaning and on top of all that, being a mother to my 2-year old. So, I'm starting this blog as not so much a diary, but maybe an example. I used to stay at home with my older two children, but barely accomplished a thing. I spent most of my time sleeping or watching tv, something that I am determined not to fall into this time around. I think if I had some sort of inspiration during that time, things would have been different. So, I am going to start writing about some of the things I decide to take on in hopes that someone like me will be inspired to attempt and conquer. Most of my topics will be things that may seem simple to some, or impossible for others, but they will be the things in my life that are important. Things like potty-training my daughter, raising our new chickens, planting gardens, planning outtings with my family or just life experiences. I hope that my trials, errors, accomplishments, struggles and learning experiences will show other mothers out there that they are not alone. I also hope I can see how others have overcome their trials and get through those "every day things".

  1. That's so great that you are getting to stay home! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, even though at times it's the hardest thing I've ever done. I still haven't figured out how to fit in all the cleaning I need to be doing. Probably because I have a real HATRED for cleaning. :) Look forward to your posts!

  2. Gotta give it up to the parents that work so hard for their kids, but really gotta give it up for the family willing to budget so the parents can be even more involved! Kristen hates folding laundry, so maybe y'all can trade some chores so it gets done =D
