My son is 7, my daughter 5. I am a medical doctor, life coach, writer and seeker of Truth. I recognize and respect Jesus as an enlightened master, but am not Christian - I believe there are many paths to realizing our Divinity. So I dig reading about you going for it and being authentically you in walking your path. I've really enjoyed finding your site. And for the record, I think this motherhood stuff is waaaaaaay harder than pre-med, medical school and residency combined. At least with 36 hrs on call straight, you got to go home the next day at 6 pm to sleep! Try that with a newborn - not! Thanks again and I've already shared a few blogs with colleagues and sister-women friends. Hi Kat,

I am a full time child wrangler, ages 4, 2 1/2 and 1. (aka stay at home mom). I also blog, and am working on a few other projects (in all my spare time as well ;).

You have quite the folllowing here, and your blog is fabulous. Now that I am a new mom--certainly without the patience to home school or stay at home--I will do my best with your helpful hints. You continue to be my hero every day. Bless you and your family, and we need to get together on some trip between here and there; it really isn't that far.(semicolon used just for you!) Kat–

I will be 30 in a few months, and I am a stay at home mom with an (almost) 3 year old daughter and a (just turned) 1 year old son. I always wanted to be in this place (married and staying home with babies) but am struggling with the reality that it is not often glamorous or easy! God has been nudging me to realize I need to turn my days around to focus on Him! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and inspiration in this blog!

Love it! I just wanted to say 'hang in there'. I grew up with an alcoholic father and have been married to my husband, who was diagnosed with a mental illness in 2002, for almost 20 years. I know where you are coming from. I too struggle with being the wife God would want me to be because it's hard to support, submit to and (some days) even like someone whose behaviors you can't accept or understand.

I'm Melissa, 42, Indiana, wishing I stayed at home, but don't. When I am home, I'm so glad to be there with my husband, (who happens to be an alcoholic, but I'm praying every day that God will change that,) two kiddos, 14 & 12, we have a 19 y-o (my stepdaughter) away at college, and a fantastic dog. I work, love to blog, go on mission trips, craft, bake and cook, garden. Your statement in your mission that you want to have your husband feel "loved, cared for and admired" really hit a cord with me. I want that for my husband as well, but it isn't going very well at the moment. I know God has a different plan for us, and He already knows the outcome. Meanwhile, I strive to follow Jesus, and be His hands and feet to my family and my church. I hope to do a bettter job of that, and to be faithful while I wait upon the Lord.
