When I was pregnant with Quinn (that is right, I am using real names, you know this is going to be bad) I needed validation that I was a good mom. I needed constant "baby" talk to prove to others as well as myself that I was happy about my pregnancy and ecstatic about having another baby just seventeen months after Addie was born, not to mention I was only 23 when I had Addison and 24 when I found out I was pregnant for Quinn. The truth is motherhood has been really hard for me. I am not saying I am a bad mother, in fact I think I rock at this motherhood thing, but it has not been, nor is it presently an easy adventure.
I will admit motherhood is the most challenging and the most rewarding thing I have ever experienced, but being a mom is only part of me. It is not all of me. I have been having issues with this blog (as well as my email address) for a while now because I no longer want to be defined as just a mother. I am a kick-ass mother, but I am also a descent wife, an incredible friend, a borderline alcoholic, a Lexapro junkie, a Project Runway enthusiast, a cell phone addict, and an up and coming fashioinista....okay well maybe not that last one but everything else is true.
This blog is just not doing it for me anymore I have tried to blog about different subjects but I feel like it just is not working for me right now. I no longer have the passion to write about my family stuff anymore. I am proud of being a mother, my children are incredible, but I need to take sometime to find out what really inspires me.
I am shutting this one down but I will keep you posted if I ever open up a new one.
