My last day of work is December 23rd, and I'm so excited to become a SAHM! I am currently a teacher, and love my job, but my ultimate dream has always been to stay at home with my children. DH and I are both very excited about this new phase in our lives. Hopefully I love it as much as I think I will! If you have any advice for someone who has never done it before, feel free to chime in!
Re: Introducing myself!
I also went from being a teacher to a SAHM. I loved my job as well, but I love being home so much more. I wish you all the best as you begin your new adventure!
if you need a break, and there is family or a friend nearby to come help you, take advantage of it. you most likely will need one. trust.
if you have several errands/things to do in a week, space them out and do like one a day. that way it gets you and baby out of the house for a little bit. this is a big help!
look into finding a mom group to join ifyou don't know any in/around your neighborhood.
GL! it's wonderful and i'm not going to lie, like any job it has it's days! but i wouldn't trade it for the world. :-)
