This week I had a tough decision to make about going back to work and it weighed on me all week.
It made each moment seem precious and fleeting, when I thought about the idea of giving up these day to day moments with Jackson.
And then in a last minute decision I turned the job down. And when I told John that I wasn’t going to take it, it felt like a weight had been lifted off both of us. We knew what was right for our family.
But I did put aside the big decisions to celebrate my friends Bachelorette party.
Oh and did I mention that it snowed for the second time this spring?!
Onward to Easter
I know just how you feel. I'm glad it was a relief for you to make the decision that was right for your family! And he is just so cute. So cute!
Thanks Greta!
I am so happy for you that you chose to be with your family instead of going back to work. I sadly, HAVE to work, even though only part time, I wish I could be at home with my girl. Hopefully things will change for us to where I can do what will be best. Until then, as with ANY mom, we do everything in our power to do whats best for our children! Nice, simple post…love it! =)
Thank you it was a tough decision and I'm lucky to be able to stay at home. I do work 1 day a week which is enough for me.
Hearing how turning the job down made you feel, I know you made the right decision.
The snow this week was just crazy. It's usually so much warmer than this by this point in the year!
Thanks Kimberly I know i made the right one too. And that snow and this cold weather I'm hoping we get some spring soon!
Making the right decision is always a breath of fresh air! I'm glad it made you feel better. Amazing how that works, isn't it? Congrats to you and your family, and that looks like a LOT of snow in the background! Stopping in from the Sharefest.

It was such a breath of fresh air. It was way too much snow for late March.
Julia I know this has been a huge decision for you and I am glad you have found peace in your choice. It is hard to live on one income, trust me I know, but there is always going to be time in the future for that (a job), enjoy your little one now 🙂
Thank you my friend, your words are the truth.
What a cutie! I'm glad you made a decision your whole family is happy with. Enjoy this time!
Thank you.
So happy that you made a decision that feels right! It is so important. Enjoy your time with your little Jackson and your Me time. I am completely jealous of that time and I don't mind telling you that! ; )
Thanks Heather!
So glad you listened to your heart and are able to stay home. I still wish I would've listened to mine when the girls were younger. I let my career carry too much weight and I missed out on a lot of things. Enjoy the moments! Jack is such a cutie!
Thanks Kristen, it is so hard for me to put the career on the back burner but now that I've been at home I have a hard time imagining not having this time with Jack. I can't seem to have it both ways but I think I picked the best way.
I love that feeling of making a decision and knowing it's the right one. Good for you!
I love that feeling too!
