Today, I am over at Mom-enclature writing about my journey towards motherhood and the decision to leave my corporate career last year and become a full-time mother to my daughters, now ages five and three.
I thank Andrea for the invitation to share my story and the story of my family.
Thanks for posting this, Mary! I grew up with a Mom in medicine. She didn't work full-time, but she practically was, and is now. Her job is important to her. It's not that she didn't love us-- she does, A LOT-- but there is definitely a difference in growing up. My Mom is not a staying at home Mom, and I'm really proud of her for all her accomplishments. But if definitely makes me re-think what kind of Mom I want to be so, thanks again and not for the last time, for sharing your story. :)
I love this story! It makes me proud to call you my friend.

Your sacrifise will pay off. It is paying already, Mary.

Thank you Pam,
It is amazing what happens when you stop, reflect, and do God's will.
