As I told you guys before, I am a little domestically challenged. However, there are a few things I do as a SAHM that makes me feel like I am a good mommy:
1) I love that I use cloth diapers. Even though it causes more laundry and I have to spray poop in the toilet I always smile when I see all those bright colored diapers drying on my washing machine. It just makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my little baby!
2) I enjoy making my own baby food. Not to mention I get a few tastes of the food as I am making them! They are always so yummy, and it makes me feel good that I am providing good nutrition for my baby. I might not be making the $$$, but at least I am keeping his belly full!
3) I am blessed to have a good milk supply and to be able to still be breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not easy by any means, so I am thankful that I am still able to provide this "liquid gold" to my little boy.
4) I am glad that I am getting out and exercising at Stroller Strides. Sometimes I barely make it to class depending on how the morning has gone, but once I am there I feel better about myself. I know that Nolan enjoys being outdoors and seeing the other kids/babies. I can't wait until he can actually "play" with the other kids!
So I might not be Miss Suzy Homemaker, but I do try my best in the things that I can do. Here's to having a positive outlook this Tuesday! : )
You sound like an amazing mommy! You should be very proud. What a cute little boy too! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It means a lot to know someone is reading! Good for you for the breast-feeding too! That is not an easy thing, and should be recognized!
ReplyDeleteI think you're awesome. And that list is proof of just how much of a SuperMom you are!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing GREAT! Honestly, no one can do it all, and it's clear that you love and take good care of your family, and that's what matters. Keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteDelicious giveaway on my blog...have you entered?
Seriously - you are an AMAZING mommy - forget all the crafty homemaker stuff - it is so evident from everything you do with Nolan that you are doing a wonderful job providing him with a perfect and loving home and at the end of the day - thats all that matters. Great job, momma:)
ReplyDeleteThat's great Natalie. You're already a wonderful mom doing all those you mentioned. Good on you! Nolan is one blessed little kid to have a mom like you!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for seeing the positive. Sometimes its so hard at this age!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use to make the baby food? Do you use one of those steamer things? I'm about to hit that stage!
You are doing great as a SAHM and you have an excellent outlook.
ReplyDeleteWay to have a great outlook on things!
ReplyDeleteI loved making most of JDaniel's food. I was able to nurse for 13 months before he lost interest.
ReplyDeleteQuadruple your points for cloth diapering because that deserves some major praise. And isn't homemade baby food the best.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a wonderful mommy! You are going above and beyond the necessities! I have heard a lot of talk about cloth diapers?? I will have to look into that when we have a little one....
