A New Venture

I few weeks ago, I woke up and for some reason it was on my brain that I needed to start a new blog. Over the past several months, I've been through a lot of different thoughts about my pending life change. I have worked ever since I was in college and through the birth of both of my children. I have spent some time struggling with what my purpose is. Don't get me wrong, I understand and FULLY BELIEVE that staying home full time is definitely the right thing for me at this season in my life. It's hard for me to put into words all my (probably irrational) fears that I face on a daily basis. I've always been a multi-tasker and been pretty good at it. I've successfully balanced a career, raising my boys and being a wife. Just the idea of losing one of these core "tasks" I almost feel lost. I don't expect anyone to really identify with this, it's just been in my head for the longest time.

With that, I plan on taking time to fully savor each moment I have going forward. To spend more quality time with Sam and Isaac, take time each day to clean (I know you are jealous) and to take some time each day for me. I think this is the part that has been missing for a very long time...."me time." I am always focusing on someone or something else, some crisis at work, lamenting over the things I wish I could have done with the boys during the day instead of being stuck in front of the computer or on the phone. I have a lovely room in my house that I don't spend nearly enough time in. I plan on changing this once and for all and taking My Little Room back over for the purpose I originally intended 6 years ago when we moved in.

All this comes back to my new blog I started....My Little Yellow Room. I hope that this will be a place where I can share some of the creative stuff that I'm doing around the house. I'm not sure how many people will actually read it (and that's fine....I don't know how many people actually read this one). It is a place for me to chronicle this part of my "me time" journey. Stop by and leave me a comment!
