So I was thinking, I used to use this blog a lot more to write my thoughts and just write what I have been feeling. I liked that. I feel like this blog is an outlet for me, yes I love sharing photos of my kids and talking about what they have been up to. I thought though why not once or twice a week I write about what is going on in my "Mom" world. My kids are of course two of the most important people in my life and I would do anything for them, but that is not all I am. I heard recently from an interview that when someone asks you what you do never say "Oh I'm just a mom", because we are more than just a mom to our kids. I think it is easy to lose a part of who you are when you are a mom because literally all of your time, energy, everything goes to your kids. I have found that as my kids have gotten a little bit older that it is okay to have "me" time. I feel that I am so much better of a mom after I have gotten a little time by myself, girls night, workout, manicure...anything really.
I think moms some times feel guilty for that, but you need that time. Obviously when your kids are first born you need to be there for them for everything. It is still important to have that down time or a least 15 min of "Mom" time. It is a good time to just recharge. Us moms have lots of day to day struggles, I know my latest is just fitting into normal clothes. I used to fit into a certain size and after the last year we had it has been tough. I just want to feel good in my own skin and it is hard. I did just order a pair of jeans online at Kohls and by a small miracle they fit!!!! They even look cute too! This was just such relief! I am so thankful! It is really the little things that make us moms happy! I love my kids more than life itself, but feeling good in my own skin and own clothes makes a world of difference.
