Needing more than motherhood
Iโm a mother to four young children, but thatโs only a small part of who I am.
Before having kids, in my early twenties, I worked in Advertising. ย It was high-paced and exciting. You would have thought it would be the perfect career for a 20-something-girl who had little, to no, responsibilities. ย But after only a few short years, instead of enjoying those carefree days, I found myself in my tiny cubicle daydreaming about a totally different world.
Instead of becoming a powerful woman in the Advertising world, what I really wanted, was to become a mom. ย And not just any mom, a mom who stayed at home, played on the floor with her kids, and baked cookies all day long (the irony here is not lost on me).
A few short years later, I did just that. I got married, left my career, started having babies, stayed at home, and made cookies. ย Lots and lots of cookies.
In fact, that was the story of my life for many years. ย And while in many ways motherhood was everything I had envisioned as I daydreamed in my tiny cubicle only years before, it never quite completed me in the way that I had hoped it would. ย In fact, I think in some ways, it did just the opposite. ย It left a part of me longing for something more.
