golden leaves, crisp air and a hot apple cider- what more could you ask in a cool fall day!

Confessions of a stay at home mama

I am a stay at home mom for almost 13 years. I always thought that I would be a career woman until I found out I was pregnant with my older son and the rest is history. I realise that a certain kind of validation comes from work, but it's nothing compared to to the enrichment  and satisfaction I get at home. Of course, sometimes  there's challenges I face but with a spiritually based family - everything is under control. I know being a stay at home mom with my sons is a blessing, but it is also a choice.

I happened to met one mother who introduces herself - I am just a stay at home mom- JUST? That is the most noble task in the world . A mother love is one-of-a-kind. I believe that people who are deprived of it spend the rest of their lives acting out of a need for it. They replaced it with expensive things or any satisfaction a child can get. There is no simply substitute. Our children carry our love in their beings for life. They will hold this warmth forever. I may have put my real talents aside but put real ones to use. I may no longer speak the language of the corporate world but I have learned the intricate languages of the heart and soul. At the end of my life , I will look upon this time and know in my heart that I was excatly where I needed to be.
