Oh boy does this post strike a cord. I have always worked & found balance with my boys but I gave up my art to do so. These past 9 mths I was unemployed so I started a blog for kicks, to let family & friends know that I was fine. Now I love it! It’s my happy, creative place. This week I started a great new job with a company and the pressure to be a grown up again and set my creative side on the back burner has reared it’s ugly head. How on earth will I be able to do it all and be a good mom? I don’t know but I will! You are so right, if we don’t lead by example with our kids how will they ever go out on a limb and reach for the stars? I am so glad that I stumbled across your blog today ladies

I echo the earlier commenter who said she’s glad you’re continuing to pursue your passions. I would miss your beautiful posts too much if you stopped!

And those pictures are lovely!

Thank you for your honesty. You know how much I agree with what you said – and it was beautifully articulated, by the way. I’m right there with you two. You inspire me to press on both in my mothering pursuits & my music … even when I feel like I can’t handle it, which is most days!

Abby…there in lies my disclaimer. We defended staying home for years! We were just as passionate about that as we are about this new season in our lives! We are on a new chapter in our lives…that’s all. One’s not better than the other…believe us and our combined 32 years of “just” staying home time…it’s a gift to be able to say we were supported in our choice to do so!

I love your blog, and I’m selfishly glad you are continuing to pursue your passions! I was 100% with you until the end, when you quoted your husbands. I know you realize one needs a ton of creativity and motivation to “just” stay home, and I’m being picky, but that statement caused this creative mama to bristle.

I think it’s a wonderful example to set for your children, working hard and finding your own interests worthy of exploring. No one else is going to carve time out for us; it is up to each mom out there to find that precious chunk of minutes that she can use to nurture herself.

Good for you!
