The Ward Family: Stay At Home Mom

It has been a bittersweet week for me. On Wednesday of this week I told Ditch Witch that I would be resigning. I have chosen to stay at home and take care of Kinsey. The work is harder, the hours are longer, but I am looking forward to it. I can't say enough good things about my time at Ditch Witch. I started there on my birthday in 2007, and will have almost been there seven years. Throughout this time I have gained some incredible friendships - who feel more like family. This group of people have seen me through college graduation, marriage, relocation, graduate school, and pregnancy to name a few. I will miss seeing them everyday, but am blessed to get to stay at home with my little girl.

I know the transition to a full-time Mommy will take some time. It is a big adjustment but I know Kinsey and I will settle into some sort of a routine. I can't thank Ryan enough for supporting me in this decision. You only get one chance to be with your children when they are young and I am going to make sure I don't miss out on Kinsey's early years. I am one blessed Momma!

Maybe now that I am staying at home I will have more time to keep up with my blog!
