about Sarah
I’m an overstimulated stay-at-home-mama of 2.
My stay at home journey began almost two years ago. I worked in banking for the past 7 years of my life and, at first, I loved it. I found it to be fulfilling and I was good at what I did, but that all slowly started to change once I had my daughter. I had to go back to work after only six weeks, and yeah, I still have emotional trauma from having to leave my tiny, sweet baby with a bunch of complete strangers.
It was ok at first. but little by little I became unhappy with my job, and I absolutely hated leaving my daughter with the daycare every morning. With time, we fell into a routine and became comfortable with our “new normal”, and dare I say, it felt good to have that routine and structure to our day.
But time never made leaving her any less heartbreaking.
My husband and I talked about the possibility of being able to stay home with our daughter. We took a little time to consider the possibility, and after only a few days, we decided this would be the best thing for our family. Before I knew it, I was officially a stay at home mom! I was nervous about a lot of things, but I was going to be home with our girl everyday. What I wanted was happening! What we didn’t fully plan on was getting pregnant with our son two weeks after I quit my job.
Once my son was born, I was consumed with all the newborn things, PLUS caring for a toddler, myself, and my husband. It didn’t take long to realize I had lost myself and I started to feel unhappy again. I found it hard to be grateful for the small things and I felt burnt out and alone.
Then I had an idea…
What if I started a blog to share my experiences as a stay at home mom? What if I could share my struggles, good days and bad, silly things, my favorite things, and just be myself and connect with other stay at home moms? Honestly, sounds pretty cool, if you ask me.
I’m here to share my life, the things I love, and inspire other stay at home parents who feel like they are in the same boat as me.
You LOVE being a stay at home parent, but you are struggling to be the best version of yourself. You’ve lost yourself, and the sahm burn out is REAL, but you want to love the life you’re living. I want to find the best version of myself and, in doing so, provide an outlet for other mama’s. Whether you are just starting to stay home with your child(ren) full time, contemplating it, or you’ve been doing it for a long time, I hope that we can find the best version of ourselves together! If that’s you, then welcome. 🙂 I’m glad you’re here and I can’t wait to share my journey with you!
