Not Just a Mom

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello!

It’s already the second Monday of the month, so I’m co-hosting with some of my favorite bloggers for our monthly link up.

Before I get to the post. Today is 9/11.

It’s hard to believe so many years have passed since this unbelievably difficult day in our history. Like most, I will never forget where I was when I heard the news and how scared and uncertain I felt.

Never forget.

This year, we’ve discussed:

  • Introductions in January
  • House rules in February
  • Day in the life (weekend edition) in March
  • Cleaning hacks in April
  • Pet peeves in May
  • How we became a mom in June
  • Top 5 favorite family activities in July
  • What’s in my handbag in August

This month’s topic is hobbies.

Well, at this current stage of my life, I feel like my #1 hobby is shuttling my kids wherever they need to be…haha

But really, I do try to carve out time to do a few things that I enjoy.

I’d say that reading is something that I try to do every single day. Some days, I have a half hour to read and other days I might only have ten minutes, but I still try to read when I can…and I always travel with books and my Kindle.

I really enjoy cooking and baking. Even better is that Hadley likes to bake too. She’s a pretty independent baker, and we also bake together.

Of course, this blog is a hobby. I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for four years.

I really enjoy writing these posts and engaging with my readers. Some days, it’s hard to find the time to get posts written, but I usually get them finished some way, somehow. Writing is a good way for me to be creative and express myself….and have so many memories in one spot!

I’m not sure if it’s really a hobby for me, but walking/working out are another part of my routine most days. Admittedly, I’m not in tip top shape, but a good workout or walk is good for my mental health…and physical health too, I suppose.

I’d say my real #1 hobby is watching my kids’ activities. They keep us on the go quite a bit, but there’s nowhere I’d rather be than cheering them on.

So, those are a few of my hobbies. I can’t wait to see what others share.

What about you? What’s your favorite hobby?

Next month, our topic is…money saving tips. Oh boy…maybe I should have Travis be a guest blogger. haha

Thanks so much for reading.

  1. I was thinking I might not have that many money saving tips either; I seem to be much better at spending it! LOL. I knew reading would make the list for sure; it definitely made mine too.

  5. I love that you wrote about a hobby being watching your kids activities. That’s exactly how I felt. That has been a tough part of the empty nest transition – one of my hobbies kind of disappeared overnight! Hope you have a wonderful week!
