For awhile I thought I had to be the career woman as a single mom and I kind of looked down on homemaking, thinking it was less then. But back when I was married I loved baking, decorating, and taking care of my home. I just had to learn what those things would look like for me as a single mom. Yes it would be different without a husband, but I could still enjoy those things. Now today I’ve realized I probably won’t be that traditional career woman, but I do have goals and dreams I’m working towards. I have found a new love for homemaking that works with my life. I may not have as much time to do those things but when I do tidy the house, cook, or decorate, I find it gives me a lot of joy and I feel purposeful in it. I also feel purposeful when I’m working towards my goals. I can do both things, it’s not an either or. I’ve always been a homebody so finding my sweet spot as a single mom (away from the expectations of what I thought I should be) has been a great journey that I’m still on. I want to be who God wants me to be, and then I know I will be doing what is best for my life! P.S. I credit watching @MrsMidwest videos for helping me see a vision of the beauty of homemaking again. Thank you Caitlin. 💕
