Now that my kids are older I can:
make all our bread,
re-educate myself in the area of dessert baking,
make all our house cleaning products,
make our laundry detergent,
plant and harvest from our mini indoor greens garden (health idea and fresh food all through the winter),
shop for groceries like a deal finding magnet (cosco once a month, super store once a month, safeway weekly, health food stores, farmers markets, bulk barn, organic honey dealer),
multiple bank runs,
skate twice a week with my oldest boy,
toboggan at least once a week (if it ever snows this year)
jog each morning,
get away with insomnia because I no longer have sleep deprivation due to babies or toddlers,
own a dog and not find him to much in the mix,
NOT to mention all the hobbies I will pick up again and all the new ones I will learn…
blog ridiculously silly posts full of seriously long run on sentences!
Of course getting my thyroid meds balanced has a lot to do with my ability to do all this too.
I am thankful:)

This is so encouraging to me. I wrote a post yesterday about stages and being content in each stage. I choose to enjoy the stages I’m in now with caring for babies and having babies, and look forward to the time when I will enjoy doing more. I’ll try to lower expectation on myself now and recognize that there is a time and season for everything. Thanks for posting! Happy New Year!
That’s wonderful dear.
