Today is an exciting day and one that is long over due! Today is the day I am not only starting this blog but also starting the process of re-finding me.
Right now I am a single mom of a wonderful little man who also happens to be Autistic. I have been doing 100% of the parenting on my own for exactly a year and I love every minute of the life I am shaping in my son. I love being the one who attends therapies with him as we unlock some of who he is that can be hidden under the Autism.
Because I have done this all on my own, I at some point stopped being "me". I am a mommy, a cheerleader, a teacher, an advocate and so many other things. I wear so many hats related to my little man that things I use to love to do just have been put on hold.
Recently I caught up with an old friend who asked about my hobbies and what I do in my free time and I realized I no longer understand what free time even looks like.
Before starting the journey of being a mommy, I loved fashion, all things girly and enjoyed dressing like the diva I was. Somewhere along the lines things like taking the time to put together fun accessories or changing my hair color on a whim dropped off. While I would give anything for the little man, I am also realizing there is a need for balance.
Today is my first stop on my journey to take Mommy to Mommalicious!
