Becoming Mom

Preschool is a distant memory, backpacks and pencil cases have been purchased and we are right smack in the middle of the elementary years. 

As a work at home mom, I’m pulled in a couple different directions and no matter how I may try to go with the flow, it’s tough. Mom guilt is involved and I really get so tired.

I’m a work in progress. But progress doesn’t always look like movement. Sometimes progress is about steadying the ship without a plan.

Apparently I needed to take the past month off around here. This was by no means a planned break, other than our family vacation (from which we just returned) but I guess that’s how things go sometimes. Life goes a little crazy, schedules change and suddenly it’s been 4 weeks by the time you come …

Have you ever had an onion day? I have. Onion days are crazy. They go up and down and back up and then WAY down. Parenting is FULL of onion days.

I love knowing that I’m in a group of amazing moms who make the world go around. On Mother’s Day 2017, I want to laugh, love and share this honor!

I started writing another post this morning and after a few paragraphs I knew I needed to stop and write this one. The truth is, I miss some things right now. This week, the kids are on spring break and while we took a really fun trip last weekend, I’ve been working with them here …

Maybe you’re hanging on wondering how you will take the next step. I want to tell you something. You don’t have to know how it happens. You really don’t.

I’m not sad about preschool graduation this time. It can bring many emotions about the past, present and future lives of our little ones. But I’m ready. Are you ready for the next step or a little sad?

Parenting is hard. Maybe if I started listening to my own advice I could relax, forgive, live and enjoy this time and these people I love so much.
