Housewife/Mommy/Community Involvement

I just wanted to share something with all the wives/mommies.  It's completely okay to be a stay at home wife/mom.  I get so tired of people making women feel bad if that's the life they choose.  It was something that we talked about in my marriage.  We decided that if we were hurting for money I would work of course.  But, we are lucky enough that I don't have to do that.  I hate when people try to down play being "only a house wife and mom".  It's a very respectful thing to do and who else is better to raise your children than you!  I get up every morning with my husband and fix him breakfast before work.  I make sure that our house is clean everyday, laundry done and supper is always ready when my husband comes home from work.  I don't want my husband to have to come home and do any of this.  His job is to provide and mine is to take care of the home.  This might not work for everyone, but it works for us! 

Since I don't have children just yet, I like to try and find something to do outside the home.  But, I also think it's important to make sure it doesn't take away from your family.  I have recently decided to get involved with a nonprofit here.  I have discovered that this Air Force base doesn't really offer a lot of things for the spouses.  So I went outside of that box and joined a group called Chicktime.  

We just officially had our first outing and went to a children's shelter that we will be working with.  It was such a wonderful experience.  We through the girls a tea party/princess party and they absolutely love it.  I feel like our society takes for granted the simple things that we can do that will make a huge difference.  I had such a wonderful time with this, I really hope that I can do it a few more times before the baby comes.
