Taking Time for Me

The year of mom is a great idea. All too often, we moms let time and things for us go. The year of mom is all about prioritizing yourself. This year I vow to work on myself. As a stay at home mom, I feel totally focused on the kids and their needs. Obviously I still need to be a good mom but sometimes I need to take time for myself too. I'm also not going to feel guilty about taking said time. The husband and I have worked out a plan to take more alone time. I plan to work on my blog, go to the gym more often, jog again, and work on being a better photographer. All these things will help me be a better person and thus a better mom. Isn't that what it is all about anyway?

There is no better nor important job than being a mom or parent.
The pay may not be good. But, at least it's better to be working on producing an outstanding new person for our world, than doing another something for an employer.

I think that's a great idea.
Only when you are yourself and have time to breath you can truly be there for your family!
