Maybe noone will find what I have to say interesting enough to read, and that's cool. But for the sake of my sanity and my children..I want to put into words my day to day. Reading my last few post made me realize this is more important than simply blogging, but rather documenting what is the very nature of myself.
My life as a stay at home mom right now can be overwhelming and mostly fulfilling. I'm young, so excuse me if anything I say comes off as bitter because it is anything BUT. I love my kids with everything that I am (usually completely compulsive with a hint of ADHD). I jump from one project to the next without so much as a flinch. I like to keep things fresh and to do so I must incorporate many a task. Recently I have found a market for my adorable headbands which has turned my daughter into a dolled up southern belle. I have also been getting back into my jewelry making which inspired this blog in the first place. Once I went back to school when my son was 10 months old I had to but jewelry on the back burner, but getting back into it has been fun and rewarding for this 7-9 job called Mommy! Kids can take a mental toll on you and without my work i'm afraid my life would fall into a category I'm afraid to recognize because I would lose a part of myself that I feel is the very essence of myself, creativity!
With the birth of my daughter Ava Lee Tulip born October 29, 2012 everything began to make a little more sense. For those of you who know and those who don't, pregnancy is rough. Not only did the morning sickness and body contortions change my mood and thoughts, but the tiredness and looming unforcesable future can take a toll on your mentality that made me feel far from normal...or maybe thats just a notion I have being a twenty something mommy with little life experience to hold on too. 2 kids is no joke. I must have someone looking out for me because this has been an exciting and beautiful transition into motherhood. I could not be more grateful for my children and soon to be husband for coming into my life and taking this sweet ride called life with me.
At just 4 months old my sweet girl has taught me the limitations of myself, there are none. I am Supermom. Ok that's a lie, but I feel confident in my choices and realize my journey has only just begun. I am lucky enough to enter this "real world" with my family as a team, and what could be more reassuring than that?!
