AVP to SAHM

I think it is very important to start off saying that the choice of being a SAHM vs. a working mommy is something I consider to be very personal. Not every mother wants to or is able to stay home with their babies. Just the same, not every mother wants to or is able to work after their babies are born. One decision is not necessarily better than the other. 
Each family and their needs are unique. The decision is personal.
No matter what your work status is - as long as you do your best by your child - you rock.

Life before Pip revolved around my not-so-9-to-5. My career was incredibly important and sacrifices were made to get to my position. With no college education (that would come later), I had to work exceptionally hard to prove myself and position myself for advancements. Before Pip, I was an AVP for a financial group. My expertise was in Information Security. I developed Disaster Recovery Plans/Scenarios. I wrote policy and ensured that my organization was working in compliance to meet regulations at a Federal level. At least on the surface, my job was pretty darn important.
Then came Pip.

Happiness Is...


watching my little one smile...the sound of Pip finding her voice...coffee that abruptly kicks my butt into high gear...snuggles with my pooch...seeing my husband catch a case of the "feels"(I love a sentimental man)...family supporting family...taking an uninterrupted shower that lasts at least 10 minutes...wine...skype dates with my long distance bff...watching Pip dream...Gilmour Girls (how is it that I missed this show when it was on air!?)...homemade sugar scrubs...fitting into pre-pregnancy clothes...a good book...this life.

here's to you finding a little happiness in the small things
xoxo
