Martha Stewart ?

So I belong to a MOPS group at my church and our care group leader for our table made us this cranberry bread loaf as a Christmas present. (our table has 6 moms at it.) I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do that for us individually. One of the other moms asked her if she made the loaves from scratch and she replied no, I am not Martha Stewart! I took what she said and quickly applied it to my life. At this moment in my life I have 4 children- 6,4,17 months and 4 months old. I feel like I'm at a short point in my life where I have 2 little babies that are very demanding. I also thought I should have done some baking like that. I then realized that as tight as my schedule is already I don't know where I would have had time to do something like that. I'm trying to get settled in with the 4 kids, make schedules for us all and try my best to stick to it. I made a goal that I would not make any major commitments until Isaiah's was close to 2 that way I could be here for my husband and kids because I know what I could handle. I know this sounds like I'm rambling but my point is, I've seen some moms that put a lot of pressure on themselves to be SUPER MOM. Betty Crocker- Martha Stewart. If you have your stuff in order - like ALL your husbands needs are taken care of and ALL your children's needs are taken care than I say go for it. BUT if you are someone like me that is a work in progress then don't break your neck trying to be Super Mom, Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart. Do your best, focus on GOD, your husband, your kids and if there is room for more without the breaking your neck part of it then sure go ahead. I have given up a lot of activities in the past because I've had to be there for hubby and kids but part of that has been from lack of planning but this is such a short time in my life where I have two babies, I know as they get older I will be able to spread my wings more and do a lot MORE for others.

Disclaimer- if you are reading this is not me telling you about yourself this is more a reminder for myself but if it's helpful to you. I'm glad the lord spoke to you about it.
