It was one of those bittersweet decisions. While I love my work family, I love my baby more! This is a very personal decision for everyone and right now this is right for me. I mean, look at those bright eyes, how could I leave those?!
So all this back to school business inspires me to go back myself. The medical building at University of Virginia was drop dead gorgeous and historical of course. I’d love a masters in nursing but simply desiring more medical knowledge at this point so instead I’m taking a photography class! Thought I’d use this post...

We talked about how nursing used to be and how it is now, though the basics remain the same. She shared antecdotes, stories, and even songs with me. Yes, we actually broke out into “You...
The hospital beast is starting to get the best of me its all so stressful, raw, and vulnerable for everyone involved! I become so immersed in every person I encounter, then obsess about their iv, medication, or whether I charted something after I left work….its so all consuming, yet unequivocally fulfilling. What’s a good-nurse wannabe...
Most of you know by now my undying love for those over the age of 65. This week I had the sheer pleasure of taken care of two 91 yr olds and an impressive 101 yr old at the hospital! The secret to their long life….not antioxidants, green tea, soy, or even exercise, but LOVE!!...
Tomorrow morning I must suppress mommy-mush brain and dig deep for any existing intelligence to answer questions like, “how are you qualified for this position and describe yourself in three words.” All for a nursing position I have no experience in whatsoever!

Congratulations on a well made decision <3 So glad to hear that it worked out for you to do so <3 It's a gift!!
That can be a tough decision, but I always see it as the right one. Mothers were meant to be with their babies, I'm glad you are able to do this 🙂
Always a hard decision, but you just have to do what works for you and your family.
Oh how I wish I could say those words. 🙂 I'm happy for you. Staying home is not the easy choice, but I think it's the right choice for those who can afford to do it. Blessings to you!
So happy for you AND for your family! All the best!
Good morning from Los Angeles!
Maria, these decisions aren't made lightly, and I know the devotion and care you had in your job. That said, I am so happy for you! Both of your boys are so lucky to have you with them full time. Congrats honey!
Warmly,
Elizabeth
You will NEVER regret it! Love your blog, by the way! 🙂
So true! I am so proud to see women reclaim staying at home as a positive and brave choice. You never know where your life path will lead you…but, I have never heard a woman wish they hadn't stayed home. God Bless and more power to you, Momma 🙂
Don't worry baby, I'll take care of you, you just take care of our boys! I love you!
Maria ~ I'm beyond thrilled to hear this. You are so talented in many ways, dedicated to serving others, and are such an inspiration. You will be such a blessing to your sons. God's Word never fails and reminds us that "Children are a blessing from God!" It's not the easy choice, but one you'll never regret. No one ever says, "I wish I'd spent less time with my children" in "the end…" Love to you all!
Maria I don't blame you one bit. They just grow up so fast!
