Stay At Home Swag.

I decided tonight that the world needs my voice. 

Now I guess I just...start writing? Is that what happens here? Yeah. 

So I'll start from the beginning. 

In November of 2015, I left my job after 9 years at the same company, to be a stay-at-home wife and mom. At 31 years old, this is basically the first time I haven't had a job since I was 18. Turns out, I'm totally prepared mentally for this. I haven't had a single "DAMMIT I WISH I WAS AT THE OFFICE" moment. On the contrary, I'm the happiest I've been in years. 

But there are things that are totally new to me-- being the person mostly responsible for keeping us from showing up on an episode of Hoarders, trying to elevate my style to something slightly above the sweatpants-clad zombies at MDO drop-off...you know. The hard shit. 

So this is my new life. These are my stories.
