Happy fliptMOMS' Day!

My favorite Mother's Day gift is actually that oh-so-sweet breakfast-in-bed made entirely by our loving keikis.

And it's not my favorite gift because our kiddos were thoughtful or creative or early risers. It's not even because I was able to sleep a little longer and not take breakfast orders, clean the dishes, and help all of the above get ready for church.

For me, the over-sugared oatmeal and diluted coffee is oh-so-sweet and wonderful because it shows the early signs of self-reliance in our children.

When they first tie their shoelaces without our help, I see signs of independence. 

And we do a little dance. 

When they wake up, make their beds, get dressed, and begin school on their own, I see signs of self-sufficiency.

And we do a little dance.

When they make me a Mother’s Day breakfast that is vegan and gluten-free and then sing me a self-created Mother’s Day song, I know our kiddos are well on their way to being self-possessed, confident, and creative individuals.

And we all do a little dance together.

"To find yourself, think for yourself." Socrates

Happy fliptMOMS' Day!  

Back to the office

One of us fliptmoms is headed back to the work-a-day lifestyle- suiting up and showing up 40 hours a week on campus. And it's me. I haven't worked a full time job at the office for over 15 years. And even then it was only for 6 months.

Here goes... I'll be working for a local private university to help them launch an online doctorate degree.

What I'm not looking forward to:

• Higher gas bill. More pollution.  
• Less time with my children. More guilt.
• Less time in my garden. More weeds.
• Earlier mornings. More bitchin' and moanin'.

What I am looking forward to:

• Listening to books on Audible during the commute. More time to read!
• Doing the job itself. More creativity and productivity!
• Working with my new colleagues. More socializing, less social media!
• Getting out of the house more often. More showers!

So, now our blog may have more to offer for more parents- stay-at-home, work-from-home and work-at-work parents. Wish me luck in this transition.
