What is it we do??

Here is a great article / answer to all those people who question what a stay-at-home mom does. Enjoy the read, then also think of all those stay-at-home moms who also endure "real" jobs from home, multiple siblings [especially those with more than 2 children], homeschooling, dayhomes / babysitting, juggling extra-curricular activities for more than 1 child ...

The article really hit home for me yesterday when it took me 2 1/2 hours to write one Christmas card, and I wasn't even making the Christmas card like some moms do!!!

Good letter. I remember those days, matter of fact, still have some of those days.

Great letter - honestly I work full time and when I come home I know I could just kick my feet up and relax for the whole evening if I want with no one to worry about by my husband and I.

I know once we have a wee one home my life is going to change so much and I will be one tired lady!

So true. That article is funny and exhausting at the same time! One of my friends keeps asking me to work for her from home. When would I have the time?!
I'm already barely clinging to my sanity!

That's a great article! Thanks for posting it! I especially love the part that says "...needing 45 minutes to do what takes others 15." So true! I remember doing things much more quickly when I was childless! (But I won't trade back to those days!)
