I was blessed to have a SAHM for a mother, but I never wanted that for myself. God has changed my heart so much over the last few years and now just being a stay-at-home wife and mother is my biggest desire. I love finding ways to save money and run our home more efficiently. I work FT now because we have not had children yet, but we are preparing financially so that when that day comes, I will gladly leave the workforce.

Ever since I had kids, my life has made huge changes. I started caring about the planet, the future, all stuff that never made much difference to me when I was younger.

This is exactly what I wanted to articulate to my dad recently. Good timing too, I needed the reinforcement that this is the choice I made and I like who I was and really like who I am. <abbr><em>Liz’s last blog post..<a href="http://modern50shousewife.blogspot.com/2009/04/list-anyone.html" rel="nofollow">A list anyone?</a></abbr></em> Great post.

I haven't quite found my 'grove' yet but I'm working on it. Like you I'm cooking more meals from scratch, line drying our laundry, reducing the chemical cleaners and I've stopped buying baked goods (make them all at home). Even just 6 months ago I would have said that I'm not the SAHM type....who knew???? Good post by the way.

Things change don't they? I used to call it housework, but now I refer to it as homemaking. It's noble thing. <abbr><em>Angie’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GoodAndFaithfulServant/~3/j1-0cQhMgUw/" rel="nofollow">The Next Step</a></abbr></em> At Easter dinner this year, my mom said, “Angie, I would have never thought you would be such a little housekeeper.” Things change don’t they?
