Almost one year into motherhood and the thing that strikes me most is how little time there seems to be for self care. I originally envisioned this space as a lifestyle blog where I could share my favorite activities, products, and household renovations/care. Then my infertility journey began and sharing was the last thing on my mind. Mostly because at the time I was depressed and not enjoying those things myself.
When we were blessed with Ollie I began to brainstorm again about all of the things I could write about and share here. Then reality set in and it became apparent that I simply didn’t have the time. I could barely accomplish all of the daily household tasks in addition to caring for this wonderful little guy who relied on me for everything.
Now we are three weeks away from his first birthday and I am slowly finding the time to fit in some self care. As he becomes more independent I am gaining back some of my forgotten independence. I am hoping this will allow me to focus on some of my favorite hobbies again and that I will have the discipline to set aside the time to share those things with you.
Hopefully over the following weeks I will be able to share a bit about planning for Ollie’s first birthday, my breastfeeding journey (we are almost at our goal of one full year!), what it has been like to do Baby Led Weaning, my journey back to veganism and raising a vegan baby.
