Staying Home

I don't know about you, but I always knew from the time I was younger that I wanted to stay home with my children when they were young. I know there are differing opinions on this subject, but for me it was not a question. Even if I had to make sacrifices and not have everything that I would like...I was going to stay home with my kids. Well, the time has come when my hubby and I are expecting our first baby. And, of course, I am choosing to stay home.:) We have made it work and I'm so happy that he supports and agrees with me staying home. We both feel strongly that a child is so impressionable at the young ages especially, and that we want to be the ones raising them and teaching them...not complete strangers!
