One Year

It's been one year since I gave up teaching to stay home with these two rugrats.

It's been one of the best decisions I've made.

It was hard. I honestly feel like it's taken me a whole year to actually adjust to this full-time-mommy thing. It was a tougher transition than I thought it would be. I missed being a teacher. And it's really hard to be alone with two small kids all . day . long.

But I love how much time I get to spend with these kiddos every day. I feel like I can more fully appreciate the stages they go through since they are now my main focus.

I love seeing myself in them- the things they say and the things they do. I like being the main influence in their lives during these early years.

And I love that I'm so blessed to have the option to stay home with them every day. I have my sweet husband to thank for that!
