The simple joy of life

after i started on the journey of being home based - meaning full time homemaker, full time wife, full time photographer working at home - i have re-discovered the simple joy of life.

like the dogs and i greeting my husband with thrill when he returns from work (all of us jumping on him at the same time),
the satisfaction of a home cook dinner (my receipe has expanded with jamie oliver!),
the joy of seeing my husband enjoying the dinner (good nutrients too!),
doing housework in the lazy afternoon listening to my favourite radio station (933),
playing with the dogs during tea time(that explain the 15kg weight gain over 2 yrs! gyne asked me to lose weight asap),
processing photos while the dogs sleep and snore, making my house clean and neat (i suddenly love that, now i know that when you are stressed, you have no mood for housework, but now, i love it!),
going to ntuc (o yeah, im so aunty),
waking up at ungodly time (11am almost daily - i need to change that),
sleeping at ungodly time (esp mon - desperate houswives, private practice, grey's anatomy, how to resist!),
lazing on the bed when i feel like it (that's the best part)..

seriously, i would trade nothing for this, not even a million dollar job (sure stress till die), although i have to say goodbye to annual bonus, maternity leave (paid), maternity benefit (quite a few grands in total) but i have a lifestyle i love, so it's worth it.

and in the future, baby has a stay-at-home-mum and all the time while expanding my photography business :)
