If you have a little one at home, you've likely danced around to the title track of this post. Both my kiddies - Nolan (three and half) and Brooklyn (one and a half) - absolutely adore Dora. She's smart, a confident decision maker, and she always reaches her final destination, despite the obstacles set before her.
Pretty great role model right?
Well these days I feel a little like Dora, as I just made the most agonizing (yet ultimately obvious) decision of my life. I crossed the troll bridge, fought through the angry forest, I even told swiper 'no swiping'. I really did though, as it was ultimately when my husband (Jay) and I interviewed a nanny as an alternative to full time day care that I realized with great certainty that the only woman capable of raising my children was me. Nice nanny, but not Mama.
I resigned my position this week as the Marketing & Communications Specialist for my local credit union. A position I've held for over four years. A position that saw me take two maternity leaves to birth and raise my two beautiful kiddies. A position that has ultimately resigned me right back to where I left off... at home, with my children.
Scariest and most exciting decision I've ever made.
This blog was created in 2011 to capture my very personal journey of leaving full time work to become a work-at-home mother of three beautiful children. Naturally, this space has morphed into a place of personal reflection, celebration and sometimes even sadness. I’ve written about childhood cancer, food allergy and anaphylaxis, grief, marriage, friendship, parenting and everything in between, all with a growing sense of mindfulness and gratitude. Please, grab a cup of tea and stay awhile.
