Stay at Home Mom

Dear blog, I miss being a stay at home mom! I don't like missing out on milestones my son may reach during the day while I'm off at work. I haven't made the announcement on here yet, but my husband and I are expecting once again.

With my son, I was able to stay at home with him for a year. It was the most wonderful experience; I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Everyday I fear the thought of not being there for my baby girl and my son. I love to provide for my family, but my gut keeps telling me that I need to be at home with my babies. When I go to work each morning, there's a heavy weight on my heart, similar to guilt for leaving my son and not spending enough time with him. You know I don't care about the money because money is not going to bring back any memories or the time I have missed with my son :(. But it helps to know that I'm able to provide for him: he has food, clothes, a place to live, and parents that love him. This is what helps me get through my days at work.

So if you are a working mom, and you feel just like me, then know you are not alone. I want to say it will get easier but I don't know that; I'm going on a year of working and it hasn't gotten easier. I hope you find comfort in the Lord and in knowing that you are helping to provide for your children.


Have a blessed day :)

Back to School

Dear blog, it is time to start a new semester. I'm getting so close to being done with my Master's degree. I have 5 classes left; God willing I will complete my Master's and graduate this August. I'm so pumped to finally be done and get a small break from school. Which is ironic because my degree is in teaching. It is time to buy text books and school supplies. Even though my classes are online, I still like to have a notebook to take notes as I read. Also, I love post it notes to write reminders of when assignments need to be turned in, pens, pencils, and highlighters. I'm all about making to-do lists, so I always have a piece of paper around that tells me what I need to be doing. This is a lap computer desk, I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond it is not found online. I have had this desk for about 5 years now. I really like this desk because it can be moved around; it can be used on the couch or just to sit on the floor. This desk has two slots on the side to ke

Wish List for Valentines

Kiel James Patrick: Brunch At Tiffany's , I discovered this store last year and I absolutely fell in love. In particular with this pearl necklace, I have been wanting it since I saw it. It is quite pricey, hence why I have not been able to get it. This necklace costs $82.00; I mean it is made up of pearls so I don't expect for it to be cheap. Also, it looks like a classy piece that every girl should have in their jewelry collection. Pearls will always be in style. Tory Burch: Perfume ; this one is the 1oz bottle for $65.00. This has been on my wish list for a year. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, I can use it as a decoration on my vanity. Tory Burch: Tilsim Logo Heart Stud , perfect gift for Valentines Day. These earrings are gorgeous. Victoria's Secret: The Cotton Mayfair Pajamas , this pajama is so cute, it's in my favorite color. Also, I need new pajamas, I have plenty of pajamas bottoms, but not tops. This one is perfect because it

Week 6 Weight Loss Journey

Image
Dear blog, once again no change in my wight. I look slimmer, but no weight has come off. I have not gained or lost weight; my brother says it's because I don't have a clean diet and I think he is right. I have been working out really hard, but not made much improvement in the types of food I have been putting into my body. I'm really trying to make better choices, but those sweets get me all the time. Also, I feel hungry all the time, I don't understand. It has really been hard. For this coming week I'm going to try to stay away from sweets and of course continue to work out hard core. I feel like I should only document when there is actual weight loss happening. What do you think or are you liking the weekly updates?
