I was tagged by Carrie Lauth to do this blog meme, started by Kelly McCausey over at Sparkplugging and it is such a great topic I sure couldn’t resist a good tag. I can really appreciate this blog meme even more today, as I was able to do something I wanted to do without asking anyone for permission.

You see this blog meme is called “Why I Love Being a WAHM”. (Work at Home Mom) I have been a work at home mom for just over a year. When my baby girl was born last March I became a full time WAHM and I haven’t regretted that decision once.

Just today I experienced one of the reasons I love being a WAHM. I got to do what I WANTED instead of work. Today that just so happened to be going to see one of my bestfriends and their newborn (born yesterday) baby at the hospital out of town. Several of my other friends wanted to go but couldn’t. Guess why? They couldn’t take off work.

Another reason, that I also felt today is that I get to spend the day with my kids. Today, though I was only away a few hours I missed my kids. I know that if I had to be away from them daily for work I’d be miserable. In fact, my heart weighed heavy as I discussed with my friend when she would be taking her newborn son to daycare. Can you believe he’ll only be 8 weeks old. None of my children have had to do that (my previous job was part time and my son went with me). I’m due with baby #3 in just over 6 weeks and again, he won’t ever see the door of a daycare center.

Finally, another of my favorite reasons, though I’m sure there are more that I love working from home is I love what I do. I am doing what I feel God created me to do and I get to work from home while doing it. What could be better than that? I am fulfilling my God given calling of ministering to others, specifically teen and tween girls and their moms in my ministry Beauty by Design Ministries.

Now, I know a lot of WAHMs out there, as I am fortunate to interact with them via numerous WAHM communities so I know you all want to blog about this on your blog, but I’m tagging a few of you just in case.
