Its so encouraging and beautiful to find community with people who understand. I am in that same boat. Young babes and a hubby that works ALL THE TIME. But, someday when my boys are older I will pour that passion out into work, but right now, I am pouring that passion out into my boys. And I get to do that, I should see it as a blessing rather than upset that I don't have that same option.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303347010438513531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035717604681554803.post-69593190103232235942014-01-05T20:55:13.027-05:002014-01-05T20:55:13.027-05:00I am so like this as well.

I see that you did. I am at this same cross roads right now. i work 3 days a week and my income is literally paying for her school and medical bills….but I don't want to take her out because she loves it and because I love work…such a hard call. I love reading your blog. We are so alike and so different in many ways. Gives me a different perspective on things.

Do you know how rockin your mama is?...Hey Marlow, <br /><br />Do you know how rockin your mama is? She is really rockin. Like the bomb. I LOVE reading her posts cause, lets face it, you are so darn cute, AND she has such amazing strength. Not the lift huge weights and sumo wrestle type (although I am sure she would give it a right go) but inner strength. The kind you will come to admire and hopefully possess yourself through great genes and amazing example. Your mum, from across the ocean can fill me with inspiration, make me laugh and cry in recognition, and cause me to gush all over the net in comment boxes. She is a powerful force. You are so very very lucky to have such a great and amazing mama. I hope you grow up to find the same strength of character and spirit. <br /><br />love from someone from across the ocean. xNieqohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839693213978161097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035717604681554803.post-29683517261301567612013-03-26T23:42:26.490-04:002013-03-26T23:42:26.490-04:00You are a wonderful mom just like Samantha said.

Women who enjoy to just be in the moment, take naps, have fun with their family, only take on what they feel comfortable with vs. the entire world, etc. have always been looked down on by society. So we've been conditioned to take on loads upon loads. Love that you're taking time to just be. <br /><br />Also, I adore all of Marlowe's outfit changes.
