Motherhood; It’s easy to get lost in your never ending to do list and never ending mundane tasks. But, if you had spare time and could do one thing, YOUR CHOICE, what would it be?

I had this crazy thought one day…What are all the things that I do as a mom? What do I spend most of my time doing? (It was a LONG list!) I included items like laundry, cleaning (vacuuming/bathroom), food shopping, Facebook, watching TV, etc.

Then I wrote a list of all the things I’d love to spend my time doing; journaling, writing, taking baths, playing music, reading, baking, etc.

I then wrote beside each item how many times I thought I did said activity in the last 30 days. I wasn’t surprised that Facebook received a 30 as well as watching TV. Laundry had 6 days, food shopping had 4 and cleaning had 2. Then I got to my “things I love list.”

The journey begins,
 
It felt like it took me a long time to get to this point in my life. When you’re a person of many passions, sometimes you dip your feet into many things; I’ve been a youth worker, a camp counsellor, a nanny, a Behavioural Line Therapist, Special Educational Assistant, math tutor, worship leader, church nursery volunteer, greeting, communion and usher director, a mentor, moms group coordinator, photographer and at one point an aspiring musician trying to write the tracks to her first CD. Some of those passions went “places,” served a time and purpose; some crashed and BURNED.
