I'm bringing blogging back

Because I'm so tired of the constant judging on facebook and the constant "mommy wars". I am back to blogging.
 I've always been a "conformist" mommy. One that feels the need to be the best mommy, to be perfect, to have everything together like you're supposed to.  I feel guilty when I get asked where I work and I answer "at home, I'm a mom" and get that look that says what a lazy lady. Even though I love being a stay at home mom and I KNOW for a fact that my job is harder than most jobs people go to everyday, I still felt like I was being looked down on.
   And my style of parenting? Oh boy, I'm in the middle of weird and normal I think. The normal moms look at me like I'm a weirdest organic hippie mom ever and the real organic hippie moms look at me and say why on earth do you let your kids eat cheetos and where are your organic shampoos?
    My parenting style is me, not quite normal but not quite hippie either. It works for us.
    Anyways, The mommy wars are alive and well on facebook. Everyday it seems like a new status of someone asking about vaccines or carseat safety blows up and gets ugly. Or a post is shared on the top reasons to get the flu vax or why not to get it. Sure everyone has a different opinion, not every parenting choice works for every family. No reason to get snarky and act like your reason for doing something is because it's the right choice, when it's the right choice for your family, not everyones.
               Somedays yes I would love a few hours to myself, without having to hear "mom, mom, mom" a million times day. Or a break from the constant removing markers from the wall. Somedays I just plain lose it. But I try to remind myself that this is a season of life. I already see a change in how our household is with my kids being 5 and almost 3. More independence from mama.
         So I leave you with this -
 Psalms 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
