Whoever said we sit around on our tush all day, watch soap operas and eat bon bons needs to be whipped. LOL!

We homeschool but we also read, laundry, clean, bake, work on SONday school, help with church things, emails, blogs, cards, grocery shopping, bills, playing games with kids, encouraging others through calls or cards.

Thank you for sharing this!!

@Amy, I don’t talk about it much because I don’t think people get it. But, I used to teach elementary school and I wanted to do something different with my life. My husband gave me the opportunity to follow my dreams – so we will see where this journey takes us. I stay really busy with the house, the dogs, cooking, and my blog. I never thought I’d be here either, but I am – and am so grateful.

@Amy Green – Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free, I think there should be a series on the SAH wife. People really don’t “get it.” In fact, it was never something I considered, either. Just never knew that people still did that!

I’m sure many young women could benefit from more information on what that’s like.

I’m not a SAHM, I’m a SAH Wife. I resigned from my job about a month ago and have been loving my new life. I do everything, too – the laundry, the bills, the grocery shopping, appointments, cooking from scratch, walking the dogs, coordinating house maintainence, birthday cards and presents, holidays, and on and on! I’ve always have – now it’s just nice that I can go to bed at a reasonable time. My hubby is really busy – me being at home has really enhanced our quality of time. The dogs love it, too.

Thank you for this post! (now if only my DH would read it and BELIEVE it, lol!) I also started a business so I work from home as well…the housekeeping part always seems to wind up at the bottom of my list. I feel like my kids are the priority, then my customers…I LOVE that verse and I think I am going to make myself a notepad with that on it to keep on my desk

Just reading through that list makes me tired. No wonder us SAHMs are exhausted 99% of the time:-)

Great post! And kudos to those working moms who do it all! We spend our day:
-Reading books
-Playing outside
-Learning new skills
-Cooking
-Cleaning up the kitchen
-Doing laundry
-Cleaning house
-Mailing letters, going to the bank
-Blogging
-Learning how to sew
-Volunteering at church

It’s a full day every day! And every night we’re exhausted! It fills up easily, and we’re NEVER bored!
