Hello out there. I used to have a boss that every morning when you would ask how he was, he would say, "Living the dream." I feel that way most days... sort of. Anyone who knows me, knows that I had been crying and whining for six years about wanting a baby. Now, most of me that wants to kick my own ass for being anything less than grateful for my life. I have the privilege of being home with my beautiful daughter, an amazing husband, a roof over my head, and the fridge has food and wine in it... Who could ask for more, right? But there is a tiny part of me feels like being a stay at home mom is like being an air traffic controller at the world's busiest airport and my radar screen went out. I have no idea what I'm doing, I just hope I don't screw up my kid.
Whether you are a SAHM or a Working Mom, the key is balance. If you're a WM, you balance a career with family. If you're a SAHM your career is your family. And no matter what side of the Mom fence you stand on, you have to fit being yourself into that mix or you will go crazy. (Read: Some days, I feel a bit crazy.) That being said, I've felt that lately my head has been swimming with the lyrics to Yo Gabba Gabba songs, the words of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and schedules of various child-enrichment activities. So, in order to squeeze some of being myself into the mix of madness, I've decided to start a blog.
I'm not exactly sure what I will be blogging about. Most likely it will be about finding my way through life trying to be a good mom, a good wife, and a good person. I like to cook, I like art, I like books and music. I'll probably sprinkle some of that in for good measure. I like to find cool stuff and pass it on, so there will be some of that too. I've always loved writing and when we were in Seoul to pick up S, I blogged about our adventures and most people seemed to like it. So, there you go. I call it "Heart and Seoul" because I'll be posting about things I "heart," and Seoul because that's where it all began. The adventure of a lifetime... Motherhood.
On our way home from dinner tonight we were listening to 90's on 9 in the car. Nothing but a G thang by Dr. Dre and Snoop came on. I was pleasantly surprised that I could rap along to all the words. It's nice to know that among the Yo Gabba Gabba songs, schedules, and words to S's favorite books, there is still some gangsta rap floating around in my brain. :) So there you go, I hope you like the blog and that you come back for more.
