Finding Myself Again After Becoming A Mom

"I Thought I Lost Myself"

How I Got My Life Back After My Daughter Was Born

I was so excited about the baby  and planning of the events leading up to her birth like the baby reveal and the baby shower.   Every time I would feel a flutter in my stomach I would talk to my "Butterfly". Pretty soon everyone was calling her Butterfly and she wasn't even here yet. 

As the months went on, I knew she was going to be something special.  She was so active;  Butterfly did all kinds of turns in my belly.  I thought it came from all of the spicy food that I was eating and boy, did I eat my share of spicy foods.  

I didn't gain a lot of weight with the pregnancy at first, only about 20 pounds.  So, I felt good, but then I gained another 20 pounds and everything started to change!

​Carrying that extra 20 pounds was tough, but things got even worse after the baby was born.  My relationship collapsed.  I didn't feel sexy anymore and my freedom was gone.  I thought that I lost myself.  I was a first time mom and I felt like I didn't know what the heck I was doing. 

Every time I looked at my daughter I knew that I had to pull myself together, so I started meditating and journaling.  I had to find my strength again.  That's when I realized my strength was dressing up, but I did it on a budget.  

Dressing up always made me feel good, so I decided to launch my blog The Budget Boutique  to help other mothers who wanted to bounce back on a budget and feel good about who they were again.  The more I planned out my outfits I knew I was on to something.   Blogging brings me so much joy.  It's still very new, but I feel like I've found myself again and the road ahead looks pretty damn amazing.​

I hope you enjoyed this article.

Until Next Time
Make It A Great Day
