Summer Greetings

Hello, Ladies! Long time, no talk. With that said, can we talk about something a tad taboo? Something like, “I’m struggling to adult these days because covid made me stagnant, anxious, and I’ve lost my passion.” I call it taboo because I don’t hear anyone else saying these things. Is it something we’re just not talking about?

Can anyone relate? Us SAHM’s, or housewives, have a lot riding on us and the inability to complete the “norm” (pre-covid), feels shameful. I’m ashamed. I’ve lost my motivation, my drive, my passion for the whole reason I ever became a SAHM, or housewife. (Hence my absence on this page.) Something’s gotta give though. I need to undo what covid has done to my brain, my schedule, and my mental health. I want to find my passion for writing again. I want to find pleasure in cleanliness again. I want to find that satisfaction of preparing good meals for my family.

Part of my plan to get back to myself pre-covid, is step one: taking care of myself. If I’m feeling good physically I think I’ll be able to build that motivation I’m seeking from before. Step two: go back to routine. I need a routine! I had one before the pandemic and it worked for me. I was an early riser, which helped on so many levels. I had my time in the mornings for correspondence and Journaling over coffee. It really set the day.

With all this said, I’d like to continue growing my @housewifekronicles and welcoming more women like us, or women wanting to be a SAHM mom. I hope you’ll enjoy the content, and recipes.
