I was asked the other day what do you?  I stopped for a moment because recently, I became a stay at home mom.  Not because I lost my job, but because we chose to have me stay home to raise our children.  I said to this individual,  I am a mom.  They quickly asked what I did before becoming a mom.  To be honest with you, I don’t want to talk about what I did or I worked for because it is inconsequential to what I do now. 

I have read numerous articles about becoming a stay at home mom, but to me it has become much more than being called Mommy.  I am the cook, baker, face washer, declutterer,  financial planner….I could go on and on.  In order for me to keep a handle of all these new hats I am wearing, I am writing everything down.   Not so much as a diary,  but to keep myself accountable to my life and tasks.

I can only hope that someone someday will read my writings and find something useful or helpful for their own life.  For now, I will begin to think of my first real post about our life.  Now I have to run to read old Macdonald to my toddler.
