For my daughter...my life.

Like many, but certainly not all mothers, everything I do, or don't do is for my children. Nowadays, more specifically, my daughter, who is dependent on me for the majority of her food, nurturing, and care.

I eat well, mostly for her, but partly for me and the way it makes me feel.

I don't drink to excess for her. (I really don't understand how breastfeeding mother can drink several drinks and still nurse her baby without guilt. I mean, really? That's just not good parenting.)

I don't work outside the home for her (no, I am absolutely not faulting those who do work outside the home...to each their own...for me, for now, this is what I think is best for my daughter).

What I miss (and quite a lot, to be perfectly honest) is having topics for conversation. I have NOTHING to talk about that isn't about my daughter. I need projects, both for conversation, and my own sanity.

I don't know how beneficial it is for an intelligent person to be cooped up at home all the time. Lol! But, this is the choice I've made and I'm thankful that my husband is on board and enabling me to stay home with her. It is something I'll be eternally grateful for, I know this without a single doubt.

I did complete a project recently...it was for Rynny. I made her a dress. I like it. There were a couple of bumps and it is a little big, but not bad for my first attempt. Oh, and it held together beautifully in the wash! Ha!
