We did it. We did it. We did it. YAH!

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.
