Being a SAHM Doesn't Mean You Have to Give Up Your Dreams

Twelve years ago, I began my journey being a hairstylist. I actually thrived in cosmetology school, unlike ordinary schooling. It was a place for me to be creative and artistic, something you don't get at a four year college. During cosmetology school, I began to dream about my future as a hairstylist. The longer I was in school and the more I got to do hair, the bigger my dreams became. I was truly excited about what the future would hold for me. Thirteen months of forty hour school weeks later, I became a licensed cosmetologist. I even had my dream salon job, at Toni & Guy, which I landed shortly before I graduated. This was one of those salons that took in only the best for their team. The training that came along with the job, was bigger and better than almost any other salon. I even got to train with some of the best hairstylists of all time, Zak Mascolo and Joseph Marzioli. The training was extremely difficult at times, but well worth it. My dreams while working there got even bigger. Then I got pregnant and my world flipped upside down in the best way possible.

Goodbye School, Hello Summer

School is finally reaching it's end for the year. Oh what a bittersweet time this is! It's such a special season for parents as we get these few months of quality time with our kiddos. The time to sleep in and stay in jammies all day. The extra giggles we get to listen to and just a little bit of extra time watching them grow up into their unique personalties. Although we absolutely love our extra time with them, we have to admit, summer break is tough!

The pressure of being a stay at home mom is huge! We are responsible for many things, such as our children's safety, making sure they are always keep clear from choking hazards or injuring themselves climbing too high in a tree. We are responsible for their behavior and becoming a good person, having manors, being kind to their siblings and other people. We are responsible for their learning, both before they enter kindergarten and through high school providing help with homework. This just scratches the surface of our jobs as stay at home moms.

Surviving 10 Days Without Dad

For the last 10 days I caught just a glimpse of what life is like for single mothers as my husband went out of town to take the last class for his doctoral program. I am such a proud wife, but I knew a week and a half with our four girls and none of his help would be interesting to say the least. Here we are, 10 days later. It wasn't easy, but I survived!

I Am a Great Mom

Have you ever had that horrible sinking feeling creep into your head that you are a bad mom? Well, you are not alone! I have yet to meet a mom that doesn't feel that way about herself from time to time. Us moms tend to be constantly feeding into the lies that we are no good at what we do. We focus so often on our negative qualities that sometimes it doesn't allow for the good ones to shine through.

Any Transition In Parenting Is the Hardest Transition
