Do you ever think back B.K? What did you do with all that free time? What did you talk to your spouse about? What were your weekends like? What was I like? Who was I?Last night my husband and I went to a March of Dimes event. We were a little early so we stopped by the bar to grab a drink. We sat there in silence for a few moments, adjusting to the loud music in our ears. Trust me winding down and having some silence is lovely, but I couldn't help but think of how I used to go on for days about this,that and the other and now I'm just speechless.
It's kinda like when you want to plan a date night and you can't think of anywhere to go. But when you are out and about town running errands, you can think of a half dozen places you would LOVE to go! I really need to start a date jar! Pinterest makes it easy with large Popsicle sticks kept in a cute jar-now to make the time to make it!
While I can't remember what I did with my free time B.K. I could rattle off what I do with spare time now. When I think of what I was like before kids, I actually think about how I was always trying to find "me." I felt like I was headed in the right direction, but I wasn't confident in WHO I was. Over the last couple of years I feel like, as a Mom, I have evolved into someone. I have become comfortable in who I am, what I do, how I parent along side my husband, and where we are headed in this crazy thing we call LIFE. In turn, I've found a way to feel more confident and be comfortable in my skin.
As a Mom, did you find who you are before kids or after? Do you feel like becoming a Mom has helped you find who you really are? Taking on the role of Mom comes with many challenges that make us who we are. I hope you embrace yourself and all you have to offer. You are amazing!
Keep Calm and Mommy On!
XOXOXO
