Who I Am: Rediscovering the Woman Behind Mom🫶🏼!

Hey all! I’m Hannah and, I’m going to be so for real, I’ve kind of lost who I am, haha! It’s hard to see myself as anything more than mom most days. At 3 months PP, I’m still trying to reintegrate myself back into.. well…myself. However, I have begun to find what makes me feel like me again slowly but surely! One is that I’m a creative through and through-- I love making things with my hands, be it through sewing, jewelry crafting, card making, or just writing. I just love creating for people I care about, or being able to show my hard work through the stitches I make. I also love fixing things! I’m one of those people that will sew back up things that would otherwise bite the dust. Just last night I was able to repair my baby’s blessing dress (which was once mine)! Lastly, I’ve discovered that I’m a photographer! Nothing professional, but I love the outdoors and capturing it’s beauty!.. and of course my baby’s face is a frequent subject now!:rofl: I’m excited for this week as we’ll have many chances for beautiful nature photos on a family vacay!

I honestly can’t wait to see what else I find out about myself as time progresses. Remembering my passions has been reinvigorating, and makes me excited to share with my daughter one day!

I’ve lost so much you started off by saying you kind of lost yourself because I still feel that way and I have felt that way since becoming a mom.

This is so relatable! :joy: I literally just got done yelling at my hubby because he gets to take a nap while I’m on my 3rd round of washing dishes, cleaning, etc. I had to check myself because it’s really not that serious… or at least that’s what I’m trying to tell myself lol. :joy: I’m saying all this because lately I’ve been feeling like EVERYONE’S “mom,” and sometimes I’m like… okay, but who’s taking care of me?! I am saying this with love :joy::sob: You can already tell you have such a good eye for photography. Your family vacay sounds like it’s going to be so beautiful, too definitely the perfect opportunity to capture some more of those moments!

Thanks for sharing. I just purchased an embroidery kit to learn a new hobby hopefully to keep me doing stuff. Look like you are getting a good start on yours.

I’m almost finished with the one I posted! It’s actually an old picture lol recently I detoured though and am doing a punch needle kit which has been a fun project! A lot less intricacy than some embroidery kits require but still a ton of fun! I hope you love embroidery! It’s quite soothing once you find a rhythm!
