Another day in motherhood

Motherhood seems to be a constant onslaught of battles. There are many times of peace but when it hits it hits. The waves of issues to be dealt with hit you one after another, well now that I think about it that just seems to be life in general....hmmm....

Anyway this week has been a tough one. A week that brings you to lean heavily on your vices, whatever they might be.

My work out schedule has be neglected and so has any hope of eating smart. 

I have done more laundry then I have done in a month and there is still more waiting to be done. I have waited in a doctors clinic for over two hours with two kids under the age of five and lost my marbles in the parking lot at work.

I am scared to go to sleep tonight in the fear of waking up and facing tomorrow and all the joy it might bring. 

Maybe that sounds a bit dramatic but it has been a rough 4 days.

No one informed me how tough being a mommy is. It has fabulous and amazing rewards but it is also the toughest thing I have ever done, if you know a mom do something special for her, even it is acknowledging all that she does.

Who I am....Who are you

Me, age 2, and my mom

I thought I would take today to take a moment and reintroduce myself.

I am a mother of two and a wife of six years. I have been with my husband for twelve years and though I may have not liked him every day of those twelve years he is my best friend.

Our Wedding Day

I was born and raised in Victoria, BC and I continue to live there now. I love this town and find it hard to find other places that rival its beauty.

A year after I was married I welcomed my first daughter, Isabelle and two years later I had my second daughter, Roslyn.

We are now a family of four with no plans of adding more, busy adding on to our home and trying to survive the insane world of raising a family.

I have been super blessed to be surrounded with amazing people in my life and try to remind myself of that whenever life tries to get me down.

The older I have gotten the more important I have realized family is and having a secure sense of yourself. While trying to build this family I have forgotten bits of myself and I am really trying to discover myself and what makes me happy. They say you have to make yourself happy first to make others happy and I am really trying to live that. It is a bit of a balancing act for me because the concerns of others have always been at the top of my list.

I am trying to use this blog to explore what makes me happy, from family adventures to beauty to cooking. It might seem all over the place but I am hoping to find some stillness in the spinning.
