Let's be honest, as a new mom you tend to lose sight of yourself. Things you enjoyed pre-mommy you're probably not spending much time doing. It was one of my biggest fears of having a child. Not that I would be responsible for another individuals life, but that I would lose my individuality by being a mom. Well, I went and let it happen. I am officially a bum with no hobbies.
Rephrase, I WAS a bum with no hobbies. I'm getting back to my individual self. Finding new hobbies along the way, including sewing. I showed you a while back that I sewed myself a skirt.
It's only the beginning though. With my friend Mary now pregnant, we have a list of projects to complete before baby Liam's arrival. We have our girls night in, eat dinner, girl talk, and sew our little hearts out.
What are your hobbies? Did you feel once you had your children you lost yourself?

I definitely have had to schedule in time for anything me. It takes effort but it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteI'm desperately trying to NOT lose myself - but yes, my kids have pretty much taken over my life right now. I hope that as they get older it will get easier and easier to find some time for me.
