Last week on Uniquely Woman, Lisa and I discussed how college benefited our lives as mamas. This naturally transitions into how to work from home as a mama. Lisa and I both do different types of work from our homes so we can be home with our child(ren). These principles don’t just apply to paid jobs; you can use the same methods to pursue a side hustle, volunteer, or serve in ministry.
This week on Uniquely Woman, Lisa and I are talking college. We are both stay at home (or more accurately, work at home) mamas. And yet we both have college degrees that we spent time and money pursuing. Neither of us feel that was wasted. Why? That’s what we’re delving into this week. If all you want to be is a wife and mom, why should you consider college?
I had no idea that something so small could feel so… heavy.
It weighs on my conversations, my friendships, my mind, and my heart. It gnaws at my thoughts like the “Hungry Caterpillar” I’ve read about every day for the last ten months.
Doubt.
Insecurity.
Guilt.
I’ve talked about birth control before on my blog, but the nuances of this very controversial topic make it difficult to discuss within the confines of the written word. I receive a lot of questions about birth control – what to use or whether to use it at all – so it was a natural choice for Uniquely Woman’s sex series.
My marriage will always come before my kids. It’s a vow I made on my wedding day and it’s a vow I’m living in the every day. It’s a promise to guard my heart, attitudes, and words toward my husband – my daughter’s father – because her happiness depends on it.
