Officially a stay at home mommy. wow.


So, I have about 2 minutes to write this post. I have to do the laundry, wash a sink full of bottles, make the bed, eat breakfast, shower and make my self look presentable to the world, cuddle the dog, clean the bathrooms and pump all before my baby wakes from his nap. This is my new job description- the description of a Stay at Home Mommy. Matt and I made the decision to make some major lifestyle changes (i.e. sacrifices) so I can stay home with the little one.

I always thought I'd be a working mom but after actually having a baby, I knew I needed to be home with him. I knew I was willing to eat cereal for every meal for the rest of my life if that's what it took ( and I only like 1 type of cereal. Kashi Blueberry- it's yummy, try it...). This decision did not come easily- at this time we are a one vehicle family and we cut out our cable (which seriously, is no biggie...I can watch everything by hooking up my laptop to my tv). But, knowing that I can stay home and raise my little Holden myself, watch all of his milestones in person would make any sacrifice worth it! My husband is now (even more) my hero. He is working so hard just so we can make this work, and I know he totally loves having dinner cooked every night and not having to worry about anything around the house. I'm hoping this new found profession will also allow me write some more on my blog!


So what if my new uniform might have spit up stains on it...I have never, ever been more happy.
