Wife and Mommy

I’m the author of this blog (haven’t yet come up with my own nickname). From my title, you can probably guess that I’m a wife and a mommy. I’m other things, too, but for now, that’s pretty much my entire life right now.

Well, I guess there are other ways to define me. I’m a strong believer in Christ. I work from home part time in my former professional field. I knit. I have a dog. I’m a recovering perfectionist. I have friends outside of mommy friends.

But really, right now? My life is currently defined by my family. Most days I am okay with that…and other days I am not. I wonder if my identity is no longer my own and can only be defined in the context of other people. Then again, I wonder if it’s such a bad thing to be defined by my family. After all, they are pretty cool.

I suppose it’s a season of life. I will always be Husband’s* wife and Bito, Cupcake and BabyMuffin’s mom, and I am happy to hold these titles and be these things. It’s important to me to build these relationships and raise these children to be good people.

Gotta keep my eye on the prize.

*Still haven’t come up with Husband’s nickname. His latest suggestion is Hercules.
