I remember the crazy you....and I miss it too! I'm not talking the crazy you that scared me a little but you know what I mean. Bring it back :) I've still got your glitter eyeliner if you want it XD

So many people can relate to this! It does become hard to make ourselves be true to ourselves and yet be a Mommy at the same time. Especially if our own Mommies did the same.

I commend you for tying to gradually take steps to regain some of your spunk while still staying a mom.

Go pink laptop!

This is a wonderful post! I feel your struggle because it is mine -played out differently but the same. I will probably come back and read it tomorrow because it is quite late now. I need to spend time intentionally reclaiming myself! Thanks for voicing your feelings.

You definitely can be that girl again. There really is no reason not too. Seriously. Get the nose pierced. My girlfriend has two kids and her nose pierced. It looks great and no one ever gives her crap for it because she is comfortable with it.
I have a tattoo, and I will probably get another one. I still act like a goof. I still dress a little wild every once in a while (though I actually like my jeans and tee shirts now). We can still be the same person we always were. And our kids will thank us for it!
Do it! Be happy! :)

It really is amazing how quickly we can become lost in motherhood. I love nose piercings. They aren't me, but I'd have one in a second if I thought I could pull it off. :-)

Great post! I feel the same way sometimes. I was thinking about how I used to wear purple nail polish and awesome leopard print heels the other day and then I looked at myself in the mirror at my boring jeans and black t-shirt and just cringed!

This phenomenon is exactly why I ended up getting my first tattoo 2 years ago. I was having a mid-life mommy moment and needed to reclaim my youth! : )

My post-pregnancy resolution is to find that funky girl again and reclaim her. I may just start by adding some purple highlights to my hair!

Thanks for putting into words what I feel a lot. It helps to know I'm not the only one who feels this way sometimes!

Well, i'm coming over to say congrats on winning my hot chocolate maker...i really thought I had that one in the bag. :O) Hope you enjoy it!

I love your post....because that was me about 1 year ago. i'm 33, 5 kids and completely LOST myself...but slowly over the past year i've found myself again. It's been quite awesome too! And my family still loves me....probably more! Find yourself again...you'll be glad you did!
