Spring has sprung full force here in Southeastern KY. We are spending some time at the in-laws while the husband recovers. The in-laws have a huge yard in the middle of nowhere so it’s great for us. Our two boys have played outside while I have worked on the sundeck with my laptop, and while I perused blogs today. They are still going strong as I write.

I can’t explain this great feeling of being able to work outside in the warm sun while the boys are splashing in the mud and throwing balls only a few feet away. Being able to be a mother and working at the same time doing something I truly love can’t accurately be described the way I would really like to do it. My kids like this arrangement. I like this arrangement so it works for us.

I’m gonna send you on over to Rebecca’s post over at Babble.com with a similar topic after I share with you an excerpt here from her post that I identify with so deeply.

“Concentrated on the two things in her life that will never be less than inspired and inspiring: her child and her craft– working and creating and mothering all at once. Because she has to“.

Thanks Rebecca, also of Girls Gone Child, for your inspiring and realistic writing.
