Moms don't get much free time typically. When you're a stay-at-home mom people seem to think you have all the time in the world but in all honestly you're constantly running around and even then the only 'free' time you have is at night after the kids are in bed.
My favorite 'free' time activity is crafting. I've sold on various online handmade shops and even in a brick & mortar shop in New Hope, PA at one point but with homeschooling the little man and freelance work my 'free' time vanished and my craft table became a pile of unfinished projects.
Now that my little man is going to be starting school I find myself with some upcoming 'me' time. I may put more hours into freelancing but I'll still gain 'me' time since I'll no longer have to plan out lessons and prepare supplies for each day's schooling. I'll miss it don't get me wrong and I hope the little guy learns just as much at school as he would at home. He'll socialize now with other kids which is great and hopefully meet some local friends. . .at the same time I hope he continues to be the sweet, well mannered, intelligent little boy that I've spent the last 5 1/2 years raising.
In anticipation of this 'me' time I decided to get an
online shop set up yet again to peddle my wares so-to-speak. :)
My love of and growing interest in photography is allowing me to get some amazing new photos of my products and I even plan to sell prints. It will be a fun endeavor and I look forward to seeing how it goes.
found you and am a new follower, via your zibbet post -- and as of last year, I had my kids both in school too, with that needed "me" time. Now I'm more addicted to the world of blogging, but find it a nice balance with my crafting (weaving). DO stop by and I'll be back!
