Why I Am Going Back To Work...

I love being a stay at home mom, it's the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I love waking up to cuddles, giggles, and smiles from our beautiful little girl.
I love watching her learn new things, and the pure joy on her face when we play with her favorite toys.
I love being able to exclusively breastfeed, without worrying about pumping for her later. I love holding her as she sleeps, and hearing her coo in her sleep. I love everything about being able to stay home with her.
So why would I stop? 
I'm going back to work because I love my husband and my daughter, and I want to give them the world. I want to work hard now, so that later Andrew and I can retire easily, and enjoy our older years doing all of the things we want.

 I want the best things for Skye, I want to be able to take her to travel the world, to go to Disney World, to travel and see all of the family we don't see often. I want her to be able to pursue whatever passion she wants. I want to be able to send her to college, and not have her worry about drowning in debt. I want to be able to give her a beautiful wedding.

 I want Andrew to relax. I don't want him to have to worry, or stress about finances. 
I want him to be able to go on his dream of hiking the Appalachians (which hopefully I'll be able to do with him). I want for us to be able to build our dream home on a ranch. I want us to finally be able to go on our honeymoon. I want for him to buy his dream car. I want him to be able to be able to go buy all of the guns he looks at so often. I want him to pursue all of his hobbies, and passions.

 There are so many women who will tell you they don't need anyone to support them, that they can do everything on their own. That may be true, but I value the fact that my husband worked his butt off so that I could stay home with our daughter.  I'm so beyond grateful that I married such an amazing man and father. He is so great with Skye, and she sure does love her daddy! I love watching him play with her, and watching the huge smile grow on his face as she starts cooing and smiling at him. I can't wait to watch their bond grow, and all of the things he will teach her.

 I'd rather go back to work, for now, to be able to give my family everything later. 
I want my husband to be able to take time off after the USMC if he wants. I want him to be able to take time to decide what he wants to do. He gave me a wonderful 3 months home with our daughter, time that I will forever be grateful for, but now it's my turn. It's my turn to give him a break. My turn to let him relax. 


My family means the world to me, and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for them.

Gift Ideas For Men

Image
Something I always seem to struggle with, is what to buy for the men in my life. For some reason I find it harder to shop for them, than anyone else! Here are some of them items, I know that so many men would love! A neck massaging pillow, Andrew gets so many knots in his upper back; and I genuinely think that this would help him! Not to mention that any guy, knots of not enjoys a good massage every now and then.   A beanie with bluetooth, while this isn't something I would buy for Andrew, I know plenty of men, even my dad, who would enjoy this. Andrew has wireless earbuds, so this isn't something that would interest him. But I feel like for people who run, or even just work outside in cold weather, this would be a great buy! A lot of men carry their wallets in their back pockets, so I thought this would be a great gift. This is so much slimmer than most wallets, so I thought this would be a more practical and comfortable option!   ...

My Goals For 2019..

Image
2018 was an especially rough year for our family. We struggled financially, our marriage almost fell apart, we moved across the country, and had too many deaths in our family. there were many tears shed, and I would never want to go through last year again. I'm starting 2019 with a positive mindset; and really striving this year to reach my goals. This is the year I don't want to have an anxiety attack everyday about paying a phone bill or car payment on time. •Have a healthy baby girl. Our newest addition to our family is coming in just two short months! I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone by. We do have a first name for her already, but haven't settled on a middle name. Once we figure that out we will announce her name! •Potty train Skye. Skye will be two in march, and I really want to start actively working on getting her out of diapers. She has started showing interest in potty training, and told me when she has to go twice! But i all reality, wi...
