I have been a stay at home mom now for about a year. I left my full time career to stay home with my children. At the time, I was pregnant with #3 and the reality of childcare costs for three children just didn't make sense. My salary would basically be paying for them to be in childcare while I worked. In addition to the cost of childcare, I have had a strong desire to be a stay at home mom (SAHM) since my first born, Owen in 2008.
We finally made it work by the time Owen started Kindergarten, which was my long term goal. I wanted to make sure my children had a mom who sent them off to school and was there at the end of their school day. I have been home now almost a year, and the time has flown by so quickly. The days seem to be pretty repetitious but I am enjoying myself for the most part. The title of my blog is "The Joys of Motherhood, And So Much More". While there is so much joy with motherhood, there are a lot of trials and tribulations as well. Raising young people, who are strong willed, takes a renewal of patience on a daily basis, sometimes hourly!
I hope you find this blog entertaining and resourceful. As mom's of little people, we can all learn from each other.
