The beginning of it all
When my girls were all old enough to be in school full time I had to face the reality that my life was going to change completely. I no longer had anything to do during the day and I was bored.
We moved around a lot at the time because of James' work so I changed jobs a lot.I just wanted something to do when the kids were in school. I tried a few part time jobs to keep busy but nothing seemed right. I found myself wishing that I homeschooled because what I actually wanted was to hold on to my kids as long as possible.
Finally the idea for the website came along. My oldest daughter mentioned that I had a little free family website years ago that I enjoyed working on. The world has changed a lot in the years since I had the old site so I did not want to have a site full of family pictures any longer.
We started talking about what we could put on a website if we had one. Never really thinking we would do it.Then the more me talked the more we got excited about it. We decided that if we were going to do it we were going to do it all the way.
The website has become my "new baby". Some women start to want another baby as their kids get older and they are faced with redefining themselves. This has filled that void for me. It has been a long time since I have been able to really get excited about something not for the kids but for me.
So many times as mothers we put other people's needs before our own. We get so busy and tired that we forget all about ourselves. I really encourage all women to take some time alone to really find something of their own to get excited about. As mothers we need to be happy and take care of ourselves to raise happy children that know how to take care of themselves.
