Settling In

I originally created a blog with the intent of sharing my crafting adventures but life gets busy and the other stuff takes priority. Sometimes the days are so busy that I find myself just getting by but I want to treasure all of these special moments and live my life being more mindful and with greater intent. A little background if you're interested....I spent far too many years in college and envisioned myself working in my own private practice as a therapist. Becoming a momma was not something I thought about often but then one day it all seemed to change and hasn't stopped since.  My husband and I now have three beautiful children. I have been a full time mommy since my first daughter was born and have really struggled with the thought of being labeled a homemaker or housewife. I know it takes a lot to run a household and I am constantly going. I have thought about getting back into the counseling profession but it just makes more sense for our family if I continue to stay at home. I am grateful that our family can manage on a single income, not to say that we do not struggle at times and we have learned to cut a few corners along the way. With that being said, I am settling into the idea that raising children and managing our family's home is my job.....even though I've been doing it for over 4 years. I also need to accept that it is enough and challenge myself to do the best job that I can for my family and myself. So, I'm back to blogging and hoping to document some of my adventures in parenting and homemaking.
