So sorry for being so rude yesterday! I should’ve introduced myself before jumping in and posting. I’m sure most of you are scratching your heads thinking, “Who the heck is this woman telling me to go hog wild?”.
Well, I’m one of the two lucky new interns on this blog, and as you might’ve guessed, I’m a bit clueless sometimes. As a matter of fact, I’m a sometimes-clueless SAHM, just trying to figure out the hardest, most rewarding job I’ve ever had. I’m definitely a work-in-progress, and believe being honest with oneself and others is the best route to becoming a better mom and a better person.
Everything is bigger and better in Texas
My husband and I moved from California to Texas when I was pregnant with my son, Devin, who just turned two. Devin was such a difficult baby (um…and a bit of a difficult toddler), that I decided not to go back to work and haven’t looked back since. Being away from the helping hands of grandparents has been tough, but our little transplanted family loves soaking up the Austin heat and the famous Texan hospitality.
Becoming a SAHM has been the best thing I’ve ever done for my family and for myself. Trying to juggle working full-time while raising a family would’ve stressed me out in a big way, so to all you Supermoms out there, “YOU GO GIRL!” I bow down to you!
Why am I doing this blog thing?
Back in November, I had a miscarriage, which opened my eyes to the true importance of family, community, and following my passion. Now, with a new baby on the way (I’m out of the first trimester. Yay!), my creative juices are flowing, and I’m ready to start focusing on my writing dreams again. However, this time I want my writing to have a purpose in helping others.
So please tell me how best I can help you! What do you want to read about on this blog? I plan on writing posts about being a SAHM, pregnancy, self improvement, following your passion, books, and helpful products and websites. Even if what you want to read about isn’t listed, please let me know. I LOVE researching things! Really!
*Waving* Let’s rock this blog!
Pams last blog post..Spa Giveaway!
Hi Erin! It’s been a constant challenge for me, as a SAHM, to find time for MYSELF! I’ve only recently gotten back to exercising, reading, whatever. I’d love to hear more about what SAHM’s can do for OURSELVES!!
Angela Greens last blog post..I am an intern!
Yeah! Let’s rock it, Pam!
Angela: I’ve just gotten back into working out as well, and my son just turned 2. The YMCA has great deals for families. I think we pay $55 a month for unlimited use, and 2 hrs of free daycare a day. Plus, they have “Free Family Fridays”, where they will watch the kids for free while Mommy and Daddy go out from 4-8pm. Two Saturdays a month, they will also watch your kids for $20 from 6-11pm. You can’t beat that babysitting deal. And my son loves it there!
Man… it’s a Texas party up in here , isn’t it?
hehe we are going to have such fun!
