How do mommy bloggers do it? How do they carve out quality time to sit down and write a solid post? How do some make their life look so fabulous and organized, and others share such raw, tear-jerker details that I can't stop reading? Heck, the only reason I'm actually writing right now is because the Hubby and I had a little tiff, he fell asleep, and now I can't shut my brain off at midnight.
But I guess that's one way to get some writing done.
Before these tiny people came along, I knew who I was, what I wanted [sort of], and how I wanted to live my life [sort of]. I wanted to be a mama and I wanted to write. I wanted to make words come alive and just sparkle wherever they landed!
I don't remember the last time I sat down and wrote something meaningful.
I'm not trying to complain. I seriously adore my life. I'm jealous of me. I can't believe I get to take care of my Hubs and be Mama to these amazing tiny people. I can't believe I have an incredible Hubs who works so hard to let me live my dream. To the world, it's a small dream: Become a Mama. But to me, it is huge. Frightening, if I really think about it. With this tiny army, I can impact the world for Jesus and give everything I have to bring light and joy and love to the world. But if I do nothing intentional, if I just float through, I can end up doing more damage than good. And that thought can be overwhelming.
...Anyhow, where was I going with this...?
[May I remind you that it's after midnight?]
I love my life. I love my family. And I really mean it.
[The proofreader in me is super annoyed at seeing the word 'I' so many times...]
I want to be intentional and share something meaningful with everyone around me. Our daily life is meaningful.
So, as I dip my chipped-up-and-basically-unpolished toes into this mommy bloggy pond, I want to share with you the joy I find in the silly things we do to entertain ourselves. I always scour Pinterest, other social media, websites, and [gasp!] real books to find fun ways to teach and entertain my tiny humans... so, in whatever hour of the night I find to write, why not share a little bit of our adventures as I practice Becoming the Mama?
Yes, there will be disasters and there will be beautiful, sweet moments to savor.
And I will probably lose my mind every now and then.
But here's to life - this amazing, crazy, exhausting, and fabulous life we get to live!
