Last week I wrote about an interviews that I did for class. I interviewed two women, different backgrounds but both stay at home moms!
Since becoming a SAHM I often wonder if I am really making a difference. Besides the fact of saving money for daycare. Yesterday I was sent confirmation from God that what I am doing is not in vain…and this is his reason for having me at home! Today Emma went to Occupational Therapy, and honestly we have missed some of her appointments for one reason or another, we were getting the speech about missing appointments from her therapist (you know how that goes)…
So after lecturing us she asked what is Emma doing thats new, so I started explaining and I showed her a few clips from my sisters Instagram that shows Emma talking/babbling. Then she gave Emma some crayons and blocks and Emma stacked them and started coloring on the paper. And basically showing the stuff she is learning at home!! She (the therapist) was wowed by what she saw and discharged Emma from Occupational Therapy!!! THANK YOU JESUS…our homeschooling efforts are truly working!!!
Which leads me into talking about my virtual homegirl Tia!!!
I cant remember when I started reading Tia’s blog but I gravitated towards it because she really enjoyed being a SAHM. I think I found it prior to becoming a SAHM myself.
Tia has truly been an inspiration to me on this journey of being a SAHM! Back in the Summer I think or maybe late Spring she had a few post on her homeschooling her daughter Savannah!
Check out their homeschooling activities!
Tia turns everything into a learning experience for her daughter…
Christmas List turns into an Education Opportunity!!!

A little background on The Chic SAHM below…
A Chic SAHM originally started as a hobby but soon turned into a way to bring additional income into her household, and her personal outlet!
Tia and her Beautiful Family!
Tia Smith, an army wife and mom to 2, and the creative genius behind the blog The Chic Stay At Home Mom (http://www.thechicsahm.com). Tia is the mom to Savannah (3), and Michael (4 months). Tia knew eventually she would be a stay at home mom to her children, a decision that was made between her and her husband prior to having children. Tia loves being able to be home with her children, and “doesn’t miss work enough to go back.” As with anything there are ups and downs of being a stay at home mom, Tia describes the easiest part as “being able to create your own schedule, and the hardest is dealing with children all day and their personalities (busy toddler, and infant).”
Keeping a tight schedule proves to be the link in balancing time with everyone in the family. Savannah’s time alone with Mommy is during the baby’s naptime and time with the husband is usually after the kids are sleep. Michael usually gets one on one time during nightly feedings, and Mommy time is usually once a month and consists of getting together with girlfriends, or time alone.
