How Mommy Blogging is Changing Me

[Meikah Delid]

If I had to pick a time in my being a mom that I had been made so aware of my role, it would be today. And I credit that to my blogging as a mom.

Ever since, I joined memes, and began actively updating again this blog, I realize that there are a lot of things or activities that I have yet to do or pursue. Reading other mommy blogs make me think of:

* baking
* cooking
* doing crafts

Things that I haven't thought of or done for a long time now.

This is what I miss out being a working mom. Every day, I go to the office and when I come home, I don't have time anymore to cook or do other household things.

What I can do however is help the kids with their homework and projects, and talk to my husband about the day that passed. These things I'm good at, better even. ;)

But the lure of doing those three things above is getting stronger. I remember when I was single, I used to cook dinner. When I stayed with friends in an apartment in Matiwasay, UP Village, my housemates loved my beef steak. The only dish I knew how to cook rather well. :-D

I tell you it is not one of my talents. But I know it's something that I can learn and do well, too.

So this is what I plan to do. I will cook during weekends. I will experiment and follow the recipe books I bought and my friends gave me. I will also start baking as my kids and I love pastries!

I'm excited already! ;)
