Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Why Being a Mom is The Best Job On Earth

on

I LOVE being a mom!

Despite my previous whining, having a baby is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. A fellow mom pointed out that I wouldn't exchange this wonderful chaos for anything in the world. 

Every day that I am able to take care of my baby gives my life meaning. When I feed her I am reminded of how much she needs me. When I see her smile, I am filled with joy. And when I hear her laugh, my entire being illuminates.


It is so easy to fall in love with your baby.


Her eyes… Her smile… Her laugh… Her little feet… Her skin that is soft as silk… Her scent that I always love, even when it’s a little stinky… Her cry...

Her life is a miracle. When I am in her presence, and she is sleeping and she is doing nothing but breathing, makes me happier than I have ever been.


Seeing her in her swing as I type this blog entry fills me with hope despite all of the distress portrayed on the news.

I can’t say that I will stop whining. I think it’s in my nature. However, you can be reassured that with with every rant, I am smiling inside.  I know that it is a blessing to be able to complain about balancing my life with caring for my new bundle of joy.

That being said, I still need to get around to completing, “Tales of a Natural Childbirth” Part II...:-)

WOW,

I have no idea, but I can say that you are a wonder woman!! We always think we are not strong enough mentally and physically until we are put to the test. You truly are a BAD ASS so own it :)

Neema (sp?) is so beautiful and I'm sure every inch of pain you endured was worth. Saying that in hind sight and also coming from some one who has yet to give birth lol!

Enjoy her. Can't wait to hear more. Happy New Year!
