A Time of Transition: Working Outside the Home

I have been a stay at home Mom for a number of years now. Five of those years included blogging, social media jobs, ambassadorships and over the past 3 months, a Scientific contract job that I had not yet told you about.

The time has now come to me to return to the career I had prior to having our fabulous babies; Clinical Data Management. The job is a nine to five that will require a lot of adjustment for our family.

I am nervous, excited, sometimes petrified, and sometimes overjoyed at the prospect. We have yet to share the news with the kids but will do so with only excitement and joy showing on our faces. I know there will be tears shed as well as a new found independence (for the kids and for me!).

There will be changes in this blogging space as well. I suspect I will be sharing quick lunches and more family updates rather than full on recipe posts. I will have to be more efficient with my meal planning and preparation and I hope to share my discoveries with you along the way.

I am so grateful for my husband carrying the bulk of the financial weight around here all while I followed my dream of being home for these years.

So, how many of you have had to make this transition? Please share the good, bad and ugly.
