So, I crashed our computer to an extent yesterday. Not my greatest moment. It did get me off the computer for the most part throughout the day, which was good. I made a baby blanket/quilt. I'm super excited about it. We have been talking about starting up an etsy store. We don't know what all we are going to put on it yet, we are still figuring it out, but i am excited to make things and help bring income in. We are in the process of taking Dave Ramsey's financial peace class (for the second time). Last night we were doing the 'dumping debt' class. It was interesting, and thankfully, we don't have any debt other than our house. But, $2200 per month is not much to live on for a family of three (soon to be 5). Honestly, we have been doing it for quite a while on not much more, ($2400), so this shouldn't be much different. I beleive the struggle for me is the fact that I feel like I am not contributing.
I know that I am. I know that I am doing what the Lord has called me to do, and that gives me peace in my heart, it just hasn't yet worked it's way to my logical head. I am trying to get organized as a stay at home mom so I have time to get the house totally clean, work on some sewing projects, play with the kids, and just all in all keep up with things. I never knew how hard it would be to stay home. It is such a huge shift. So, instead of being on this computer, I need to get up, and get going on my daily agenda.
I will keep things updated on how I am doing with the whole stay at home mom thing as well as if we start an etsy store.
