The balancing act is real! So necessary for optimal happiness achieved each day, though yeah? Again, I really applaud your drive to never give up. I also have jumped onto here when my kids are occupied or asleep.
I'll be your patient first follower for whenever you do start your own blog, but that's so neat you're already so active and making connections already anyways. I've only recently been able to take my fiber arts "to the next level" because of Zac being home while our toddler has simultaneously become less interested in nursing and more interested in using the restroom like we do. Up until recently, I have had to do everything creative-wise in short bursts between diaper changes and the ever-illusive self-care time. You are so right that your babies need you present in their life, you are and always will be. What a special time. Their needs, interests, and abilities will be vastly different around the corner too so that's going to be very exciting :)
Oh the short bursts in between moming. I totally get it! Thanks for being a patient first follower. I hope I don't disappoint. Ha ha! Oh self-care, that could be an entire post right there. I took 5 months before having any time away from my babies. What a whirlwind. Now that I have a stash of frozen milk, I hake one day a month to myself so I can recharge and be a better, more patient mom. -Aimee
