motherhood ramblings

My absolute favorite thing in the whole world is being a mom, and most importantly a stay at home mom, I love it so much.  Here are some words that I have found that sum up how I feel about being a mother.  This is in no way trying to be rude to moms who have to work, I know that it is very hard on you and that you are still doing your best to be a wonderful mom.  I also know that some moms choose to work and that is ok too.  I feel that my calling is to stay home and I am truly blessed to stay home.

"I am so glad I am home.  I love being here.  I don't want it to be anyone else.  It is sometimes so challenging, but I wouldn't change my days caring for my children for all the world.  It is a blessing, a privilege, a gift."
I always knew I would stay at home with my children. But I also knew that I would have a career. I just knew that I wouldn't do both of those things at the same time. For me, it would have felt like trying to celebrate Easter and Christmas on the same day.


 In deed, after my first was born my whole world was turned on its head. Having your first baby (any baby, really, but particularly your first) is like experiencing life with all of your senses in overdrive. You are awash in hormones, love, perplexity, and tears. I couldn't stand to be apart from my baby. It felt unnatural and went against my maternal instincts


 My primary goal the first 18 months of baby's life is to allow baby to bond deeply with me, so that I start off a step ahead when the toddler years hit and the important training begins.


 Motherhood is a sacred vocation. A blessing. I believe it is the hardest work one can do, but also the most rewarding. The most important. Our modern culture has seen fit to strip it of it's value, but it is a blessing, good and true, to be home.
