Finding our new normal

As a newly stay at home mom, I am feeling completely lost. My son, Calvin, is just over 3 months old and my daughter, Evelyn, is 2.5 years old. Every day I search for our rhythm and routine, hoping it will fall into place...one of these days. Some days I feel like I've found it, while other days I wonder what I am doing & how I was entrusted by God to raise these children. 

I am EXTREMELY happy for this new role of staying at home to raise my babies. I am blessed to be able to pause my corporate wellness role and spend some of the most paramount & developmental years with my children. My husband and I realized this decision after examining our budget & thinking about how we wanted our children to spend the first years of their lives. It was very tough to leave my job that I had loved for 5 years. But, every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end! 

So, here I am! Waking up each morning to a smiley baby boy and a toddler that refuses to sit on the potty, although she was basically potty trained last month. I can't start my day without coffee-let's be real, a latte! It's my cup of comfort. And, my day cannot end without a dance party in the kitchen and a snuggle from the sweetest babe. 

I have no doubt that we'll soon find our rhythm & daily flow! Calvin is starting to sleep longer stretches at night which aids in making me feel more like a normal human being each day. Evie keeps me laughing and reminds me of what an amazing place the world is through her eyes. My husband, Cody, is the greatest partner I could ever want in life and raising our children. My previous career (although still keeping up the certification!) as a certified wellness coach gave me the foundation of self care that I am slowly getting back to postpartum. So, this blog will serve to reflect on my day, remember precious moments with my family, and share my journey with self care. Welcome to my life!
