One Word for 2013
If I have to choose one word for this year it is CHANGE!
Transitioning from Stay-At-Home-Mom to working outside the home. I'm more than a little nervous about joining the work force again after 13 years as a Stay At Home Mom - wouldn't give up a minute with my boys! Mostly, I'll keep being Wide Awake Momma!
