Mom Identity Theft?

Happy Mom Monday!

For all my mamas out there, What is mom life like when you don’t have the kids?

I was asked this a couple days ago and it sunk in so hard that I didn’t have an answer, because truthfully I don’t know.

& I don’t mean a day where you don’t have the kids and then you go run the bazillion errands you need to do. What is a day like for you to do things that YOU want or love to do?

Or maybe you don’t have that day? Or maybe you never even thought about it. We as Moms get so consumed with our daily routine of making sure our kid(s) are so well taken care of. To do the things that they always want to do. Making sure we are nurturing their little beings, but what about nurturing ourselves?

I remember making a post back in December, (on IG) about how much your kids become your identity when you’re a mom. Yesterday I pondered so hard on that, that it slapped me in the face like okay. I know my identity as a mom, but what about my personal Identity. Who is Krystle?

I’ll definitely get back to you on that one, but I would really love some feedback from other Mamas.

Do you take that time needed for yourself?
Do you still maintain passions you had before becoming a mom?
What are some things you like to do on MomMe Time?
Or do you feel like you’ve completely lost yourself in Mommyhood?
