Mom: An Identity Crisis

I have been "Mom" for over four years. That identity started even earlier though. I lost myself in the world of being "Mom" the minute I found out I was pregnant in 2015. I am a blessed Momma and love my little girl, Harper. I will talk about her often. That said, I am really focusing on finding myself again.

Sitting home during quarantine helped me realize that I do not have much of an identity outside of being "Mom". I own a cricut. I take countless photos with my phone. I love to travel. But somewhere along the way all of those things became Harper-centric. So it came to me - I needed to do something for myself. At the heart of all of my interests is photography.

• First step: buy a camera. Done.

• Second step: Take classes. Ongoing.

• Third step: Share my passions. Starting this blog.

It has been suggested to me many times that I should start a blog but I didn't know how to find my niche. How do I share all the craziness in my world while making sense? When momming was the only hobby and identifier I could come up with, how would I attract an audience? It's a topic that has been done to death. Then it hit me - I feel lost because I have lost my own identity and I am sure there are other moms out there who feel like I do. I can share my journey with them, with you, as I find myself. So, join me as I discover life through a new lens.
