I AM a Homemaker!

I read this article recently and just had to write this post. Sometimes I feel myself, when being asked if I work, being a little intimidated and saying "I'm JUST a homemaker..." I sometimes find myself wondering if I should be working (utilizing my degree) or working from home like so many moms do now. But deep down, I am irritated by it because I LOVE being home. Some moms out there might kill me for saying that, but I do. I love waking up with my children, feeding them breakfast, doing little projects, helping them learn how to work around the house, helping with homework, running them around to their activities, cooking dinner and even cleaning up after them. Don't get me wrong...it is not without its moments!! But, I love being home and when I think of all the things that I would miss if I had to work I am very saddened. I am grateful that my husband has a good enough job that allows me to have my greatest desire. I am also grateful for a husband who appreciates all that "just staying home" entails. Although we do go without a lot of extra "toys," we have what we need and a lot of what we want too! So, I AM a homemaker and I love it and am proud of it!

With that being said...we had a very fun week last week. It finally reached temperatures that were good enough to go outside. The kids rode their bikes outside everyday last week. On Friday, the girls and I went to the park and even got sunburned! I forgot the altitude change makes you burn easier here... Here are some pictures of the week! I am glad we enjoyed it while it lasted because it snowed again yesterday...
