What a Privilege

I am a mom.  I am a wife.  I get to stay home with my sweet little man.  I have the awesome job of taking care of our home, my husband, and our son.  No, I don't get "paid" for it like most peopl get paid at their jobs, but I am wealthy!  I couldn't ask for a better "career."  My husband works hard to give me the opprotunity to raise our son, I am so thankful.  
I get to watch him grow and learn new things every day.  I am able to be there when he gets hurt, when he has victories, when he is sick, when he is sleeping, I get to make every meal for him...and the list goes on.  I cannot imagine having to send him to another person to take care of his needs.  My husband knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom, and he is making it happen.  
I think there are a lot of people who don't have a lot of respect for moms like me, who find little value in a young woman who hasn't started her "career"...but to me, there is no greater calling.  I am a teacher, a nurturer, a housekeeper, a cook, a singer, a dancer, a narrarator, a baker, a bath giver, a tickler, an entertainer, a caregiver, I make the beds, wash the dishes, mow the lawn, takenout the trash, sweep the floors, and sometimes wash the dog.  I have the privilege to do all these things and more, an even though I don't ALWAYS do them with a smile, I am so grateful.  I hope to be the best mom a kid could ask for.  That is what my mom was.:). 
I just have to remind myself that it is a true privilege!

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
