I hear you on the car questions! My kids go through stages like this too where they talk non-stop in the car! Some days I need an extra dose of (missing) patience for sure. All the things we experience as moms…

Yes, we do have to learn to do with less alone time, for sure. That can be a big adjustment for many moms.

I agree, Betty! Showering is so simple yet it is difficult to fit in with a baby in the house.

Great points, Kareena! We lose some of who we are when we become moms, but we really gain a whole new layer of ourselves…and strength!

Great idea, Rachel. I find that a small window of time each day working on my own hobby or home based business helps a lot too.

I miss throwing myself into something for an extended period of time without interruptions. I also miss my career and my work self a lot. I try to find ways of always having a personal project that is just for me that I take at least 30 minutes a day doing to help keep me to connected to my identity. great post!!

I’m with Lisa Brown – I miss time by myself, including choosing what I want to do! 🙂 I’m glad that when I became a mom, I left behind some self-centeredness. I cared much less about how I looked and what everybody else thought about me and focused more on role-modeling for my children. So grateful for that change! Keep going, Mommas! <3

I am a mother to a beautiful 6 month old special needs baby girl and just being able to take a shower at a decent hour is challenging. I miss my nice long showers.
