Why you ask...

I found hm over six years ago. I was lost lost lost in my world of young mothering. I had found all of Ariel's books at the library and something had clicked. I had found my people. So I started blogging here. But after a year or two, so many people here were very very negative. To the point that I had to edit everything in my head and be very weary that I didn't put anyone out. At the time of my use during it's peak time, you hm mama's helped me find my way. I grew, grew up, spread out. Learned that it was ok to be who I was. No longer was I alone in being a young mom, a tatooed mom, a mom married to a rock star. That I had you guys having my back when real life friendships went awry. I met many amazing women.
It's also like a little time capsule for me. I can come back and read through my blogs of being lost. And know that I overcame the past. Learning as I went, with help from you guys.
But then the third and fourth child came. Busy busy times in our house. Still a pretty young mother(well we have an almost 14 year old now) and subsequent children. But very very busy. And at the peak of my blogging, like I said it was negative here. Catty stupid fights. People putting themselves up on pedastools. I didn't want that feeling of being judged and got way too busy for any drama. On the computer or in real life. I turned into a mother of a large brood. But I will always be grateful for what you mamas did for me.And if it is true that it is better around here. Maybe I will come back in short spurts.

What do you feel?

Yes I know it has been awhile. But truthfully after so long with one format and then switching to this it was kind of hard on my eyes.
Anyways, I am content in life. I think for once I have learned to be completely in the now. I am in this moment, in this day, and living it like it should be lived. Yup I have goals for my family of course, but know in order for those to be achieved you must be present in everyday life as well. The days fly by this way I must say. Before you know it it is 8 oclock and time for bed. Boredom is very irrelevant and if you are enjoying yourself like life is intended then you will be entertained with what you have. I think another definition is surrendering your whole being. If you think and feel that you are calm and happy the rest should fall into place. This time in our journey of motherhood is so so short in the realm of our lives. I am constantly reminded to soak up our children's lives and to accept and love what they give to us as people. Have a wonderful day fellow hipmamas. See you soon rythumsmama and ascederleaf. We will be there, just not camping in the same spot.
