Oh man. The one thing I found after having my son was that I had to have hobbies of my own to stay sane! I tried a few, permanent Jewelry (liked it but was based on other peoples time), going to the gym (wasn’t my favorite and the gym was EXPENSIVE!!), and running (I love running but its become increasingly harder to do with my son).
Ultimately I landed on reading, LEGO building, and I guess this :). LEGO building is by far my favorite but again, is expensive, and I do like to be intentional with the sets I purchase to be only ones I could use as decoration around my home, which in the LEGO world is few and far between :). Reading is kind of the same way. I do much better reading an actual book than my kindle, but again, I do like to be intentional about what I read rather than picking up the most recent book-tok book. Writing has never been anything to me but I guess as someone with only few friends this is a great way to get my thoughts and life experiences out there.
I think hobbies have for sure saved me and my marriage, as they clear my head more than I ever could before, and as an over thinker, that is huge for me! I hope every mom can find her hobbies!!
I do want to mention that this page will probably transition to be about my hobbies and what I am reading but I still think that it aligns to the “mom back to me” theme, as hobbies are for ourselves and not for anyone else 🙂
with love, kindness, and happiness,
Shanelle 🙂
