I want to do more of the things I enjoy doing. Reading outside while the kids play. Giving hugs and kisses. Being productive at my chores. Spending time thinking and researching about topics I’m interested in. Physically working hard. Waking up early. Organizing, and planning. Writing, taking photographs. Hiking, gardening, working on my house (but not drywall–that’s no fun at all). Playing games with others, getting inspired online, and more.

During college, I wanted to get a degree so I could be successful and have a career. I married and started a family instead. And during the early years of marriage, when money was tight, I wanted to be able to make a bit of extra money in my free time, and I did. Sometimes I wouldn’t mind being successful in some area beyond my job as a stay at home mom. But more importantly, I want to be happy and progressing where I’m at.
