MAMAPALOOZA WAS AWESOME!!!!

Last night's event was a great time! I met the Artsy Mamas of Murfreesboro TN and tons of other guests and vendors who enjoyed music and shopping for hours. The new onesies were a hit and are so so soft!!!!!! I am planning to devote the next few weeks to finishing the short inspirational book as that is something I want to produce as soon as possible....
Speaking of Moms ....last week another mom mentioned to me that she thought I was a stay a home mom and I was flattered. I only work a couple of days a week in an office, sometimes three, but in the past I would have been defensive...sorry, just being honest....I have grown.....keep reading....The ONLY reason I can appreciate how hard my stay at home friends work is because I tried to stay home for a few months and, well, I found it too difficult and I missed my work at the office!!! Now I think I have the best of both on some days--and just a "part-time" status of everything on other days--that's OK. My stay at home friends do a great job and some tell me they wish they could work a half day a week but their professions aren't really geared that way. My full time working friends feel torn a lot but often just don't have the choice to stay home--or they choose to work and have wonderful support systems. (but bless your hearts for having to run all your errands at night and on the weekends) One thing motherhood has taught me.....everyone's situation is different!!!!! I do not know what you are experiencing. I do know that my daughter has thrived at school and loves her little circle of school friends. I love my circle of working mom friends and my stay at home mommy friends and I was proud to be called a stay at home mom--...... What are your thoughts on working at home or at the office???

I am a stay at home mom and am glad to hear that our job is appreciated. It is hard to stay home with a child but I love it and am glad I am able to do so. I miss my work but will likely start working part-time to stay current in my career as a teacher when my child is a little older. Thanks for bringing up the topic in a uniting way instead of a

Original idea -- makes me smile just to look at the website! I work and would LOVE to stay home more ...I just do the best I can and try to remember that nobody is perfect. Thanks.
