Why Cookies?

I've been thinking about quitting my job for about six months now. Marc and I had to slowly introduce the idea to his parents as they would have to help us with the more expensive health insurance option. This is all because of the fact that we wouldn't be on my much cheaper school group insurance and since Marc works for his dad's company. One day while introducing the idea of quitting my job to Ron, Marc's dad, he said something to the sort of, "Well, your just not the type to stay-at-home and bake cookies all day." He said,"You'll find something else to do eventually to help bring in some more money." "You're a creative person and you have been on lock down for a while now with the kids and your job." Those words just sort of stuck in my head and as I begin my life as a stay-at-home mom I realized that it is indeed not easy. I choose to name my blog "Staying Home to Make Cookies" because it is extremely sarcastic:)

I had to realize that staying at home wasn't going to be easy, but staying an art teacher and a mom was going to be even more difficult. Instead of having the challenges and stresses of the kids at school in the art room; I was going to trade the school kids for my kids and have my own challanges and stresses at home. Staying at home does have it's perks, but it does not make life super simple. Although, I have come to realize that I am a happier person "staying home to make cookies."

My desire to write this blog was also brought on by my cousin's wife's blog called Fur Lined Toilet Seats. She has given me a beautiful view to the world of being a wife and momma. Thanks Fatima! I hope my Blog inspires and tickles you as much as her's has for me:)
