What's funny to me is that I started this blog a few years ago, when I decided to stay home with my little guy full time, and yet when I revisited the idea of starting a blog today, I found these first two entries that I had never been brave enough to publish. I still feel the same way about both of these subjects, so, here goes nothing...
Entry 1: "I despise acronyms. I don't know if this stems from years working in corporate America or years of fertility treatments, but of all the words in the English language, the word acronym does not conjure up happy thoughts. To me it is simplifying something for the sake of brevity that may not deserve simplifying at all. For example, when one makes the decision to leave their career to stay home and raise a family, I find it offensive to simplify this major life shift to 4 simple letters, SAHM. I am more than just an SAHM, I am first and foremost a Christian, then I am a wife, a mother, a friend, an educated woman, etc. How in the world do four simple letters reflect a full life?"
