Sweet words of encouragement, Suzette. We all over-think it these days. Pinterest is sometimes a help and sometimes a bad influence. ;) What a great testimony that you do not regret a moment of being a SAHM. So many moms need to read that! Thank you for sharing with us.]]></description>

You are a super hero with all that you have on your plate. Stay strong, mama! You were born for such a time as this. I am so glad that Heather&#039;s post encouraged and connected with you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I felt exactly like you years ago. With a Master&#039;s Degree from Oxford University and a great career in finance, I left it all behind to become a SAHM. &#060;- Even this acronym is suspicious, right? 

I&#039;m an empty nester now. I can tell you that I filled my time as &#039;mom&#039; with a lot of volunteer positions within my community. I became very active and this made me feel like I was fulfilling a few things at once: helping improve things for all children, and improving myself in the process. 

I enjoyed every moment of being a SAHM. I didn&#039;t miss a single school play, first-day-of, or games. I was a present parent for my kids (now 21 and 25), and I&#039;m so glad I had this chance because I know many parents can&#039;t do this due to other obligations. 

And Pinterest didn&#039;t exist when my kids were little. Thank God! That&#039;s one pressure I didn&#039;t have to deal with then! 

Hang in there. You sound like a great mom already!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I definitely feel the pressure of being a mom. I have a special needs baby and between all the medical appointments and home visits I still feel the need to do all the &quot;normal things &quot; of everyday life and still feel like I failed somehow as a good mom at the end of the day. Nice to know I&#039;m not the only one kicking myself at the end of 5he night. Thank you for your blog this week.]]></description>
