About
I am a thirty-something Stay At Home Mom (SAHM) and wife who juggles taking care of a busy toddler, being a modern day digital mom (aka Mommy Blogger), and running a successful eBay business. I have always held a professional position; however, the economy dealt some wild cards and my Senior Project Manager position was eliminated in 2008. While my layoff came as a shock, I accepted my fate and decided to focus on what was important…my family!
It’s funny how the layoff made me realize money isn’t everything! My focus went from “quantity of life” to “quality of life”. My frequent shopping sprees as well as weekend getaways have ended. The sacrifices have been worthwhile, I witnessed my son crawling and standing for the first time as well as those precious first words he muttered (which happened to be “ma ma”)! Those were milestones I would have only heard about from my son’s daycare if I was still employed.
My new journey has been incredible, the layoff was a blessing in disguise. I do not miss the organized chaos I used to deal with, office politics, or the frustration from coworkers not meeting deadlines. Instead, my son has my full attention day in and day out, my family is healthier because I have time to cook whole foods and best of all, my life is filled with meaning. Without a doubt, being a mom is the most rewarding, challenging, exhausting and TRULY AMAZING job there is!
I am definitely not perfect, I learn by trial and error. Here is where you will find my thoughts, views and opinions about everything! I hope you enjoy my blog and please…leave some comments (I love comments)!
