I've touted myself as a writer for quite some time, but it's been too long since I've actually written. Anything. I'm serious. I've even taken to composing my grocery lists on the iphone. I type digital post-its for myself as reminders. i text my hubby love notes instead of leaving actual notes for him to find. I can't even remember the last time I wrote in my journal. How could this happen?!
I love writing. I love the sound of my pencil scratching across the paper. I love the feel of it in my fingers as I imagine the thoughts racing out of my brain, down my neck, across my shoulders, and out through my fingertips. I love to see the word-pictures forming on the page. And it makes me smile to think of someone else reading what I've written and connecting with it in some way. But, having a baby and moving will suck the "spare time" right out of your schedule. And that's what happened. I relegated my favorite thing, writing, to something that happens in my spare time. And since it was no longer a priority, guess what happened. I stopped.
So, that's why I'm here. I'm a newly minted SAHM (or Stay At Home Mom) and, through Pinterest and a friend's mom, I have uncovered my hidden love of crafting. But writing is what I love. So I am going to write about these things. Maybe people care to read them. Maybe no one cares. There's lots of blogs out there on The Internet written by women just like me- SAHMs who maybe used to have careers outside their homes and are becoming experts at quilting or baby-food making.
It is here, at the beginning that I have decided to write about the things that confuse, infuriate, inspire, and amuse me in this new world of being a SAHM. Here I go!
Feel free to link to your blog so I can follow you. Or just leave me a note to let me know you're reading!
