I'm so lucky.......
that I get to be the one who takes Brayden to and from the bus stop
that I get to drive and pick Ella up from preschool
that I get to spend my days playing dolls, legos, play doh and zombies
that I (mostly) get plenty of time to prep and serve a homemade dinner
that if I want to watch to a movie with my kids mid-day, I can
that I get to be home when Brayden comes home from school and help him with his homework
that I get to take my kids to do fun things during the day
that I have a husband who supports me staying home and understands how important it is to me
Of course it's not always sunshine and rainbows but at the end of the day, I feel so lucky and fortunate to stay home. It's really ironic too since before having kids I always said I would never want to stay home. It's funny how things can change, isn't it!?
Don't forget to come link up with us Thursday for a time in your life when you were really lucky. I won't be getting all sappy like I did today, promise :)
 *linking up with Lindsay's Sweet World &Our Pretty Little Girls, |
This is a perfect reminder that while some days are just hard, we are really lucky to get this chance at motherhood.
ReplyDeleteLove this!! I've been a stay at home mom for almost 15 years and I would not have it any other way. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteOh I hope I can make my gig stretch that long! Maybe I just need to pop out another one to ensure it :)
DeleteYes!! You should :). I'm really hoping to have a 4th. I guess we'll see :)
DeleteThis is great, I feel lucky that I stay at home too!
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes, girl! You ARE so lucky! I never thought I would want to be a SAHM but now I'm DYING to! Quick, somebody call Brian and convince him!! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Looking forward to the link up!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great perspective! It's easy to get lost in the not so great moments so it's definitely a great reminder to focus on the important parts. Love the picture, too! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's so easy to complain about things but really, at the end of the day, I feel so fortunate!
DeleteIt is such a blessing I get to stay home too - I worked when my first was born and it's a different kind of crazy! Motherhood is sanctifying but man there are some sweet sweet moments :) Thanks for sharing your heart xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteLove this! I agree, it's not the most glamorous job. It's messy and loud and busy, but it's the best!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I've been feeling this way lately too. I don't know HOW we would get by if I wasn't able to be home with my kids. So grateful!! ❤
ReplyDeleteI always think that too, like how would this even work if I still worked!?!
DeleteAMEN! I feel so lucky too. It isn't easy and boy do we have to STRETCH the dollars to make it happen, but it is so worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteLove this! With my kids being a bit older, I joke with my husband about who would even hire me. I can't work after school, on weekends or through out the summer... along with anytime one of the kids is home sick. So basically, motherhood has made me unemployable for the time being. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky mommy. I love that you find the good in everything. I sometimes wish I could stay home with my girls, but I do love the social interaction at work. It is a give and take for me and I have a hard time being away from my girls and being away from work. You do it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing and I know your babies are so happy to have you at home with them! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
