Well I started this blog and then abandoned it. Now I intend on actually writing on this little blog of mine. I have always felt like it would be a fun hobby. I recently became a full time stay at home mom. This is a major change for me and my family. I have worked in some form or fashion since I was 16. I cut back to part time after Evie was born. Since both children started school I worked everyday while they were at school. In March Covid-19 became an issue in Alabama and our schools closed for the remainder of the year. This left us without childcare. We had finically planned for summer childcare but not an extra 2 months of childcare. After Chris and I looked over the numbers and the pros and cons I choose to leave my job. This is a job I had been at for almost 15 years.
I am treasuring the time at home with my children. We have definitely had to make sure we budget well, but the joy of getting to be with my kiddos everyday outweighs any of that and we can make this work. I am a worrier, always have been. I was a worrier as a child and am as an adult. But I will take comfort in knowing that God would not have provided this opportunity if he didn't have a plan for our family. If is a wonderful feeling not having to struggle to find someone I trust to care my babies, that I get to be here with them and make memories. Being at home full time had never been an option for our family. My husband has worked incredibly hard to provide for us and he does a fantastic job at it. I know this isn't possible for everyone, I never ever thought I would have the chance to stay at home. I'm not sure how long this will last and what changes God still has in store for us, but I am going to treasure this time and do my very best to not waste it. Looking forward to keeping this blog updated with memories and fun things we can look back on.
