When I quit my corporate job to stay home with my kids after they were born, I started writing. How great it's been to balance that in between diapers and naps, school and sports. I haven't missed a minute of my kids growing up (they are 9 and 11 now) and I've been able to pursue my dream, improve my craft, and build my platform while being home with them. It really has been a gift!

How can they cram it all in? There are other important things to attend to besides writing. Good advice, Rachelle.

Amazing how the Lord is using you! Keep up the "agathos" work ma'am!!!

I'm blessed with a supportive hubby and no kids at home, except the 4 footed kind. The task is to redeem the time wisely…

wshew.

I would say God's timing is perfect- except that we are adopting a 2 year old from Rwanda- so now I am just praying ALOT!

(Much more so than running my own business while home schooling.) But I still would not give up the here and now, squeezing in the tiny bits of writing I can get, because what I write on the hearts of my children is easily more important than what I will ever compose on paper.

As a mother of 5 including 3-year-old triplets I have to sneak writing in in small amounts where I can. I appreciate the encouragement to be a mom and a writer second 🙂

Happy (belated) Mother's Day to you!

She, too, was a late(ish) bloomer:

The creative process, the emotional release, the ability to run through the jungle chasing bad guys (while safely at my keyboard). I write for the love of it…anything that comes out of that is just icing on the cake.
