settling into motherhood

It has been exactly 9 days since I gave birth to my first - a beautiful baby boy named Tachi. I wasn't sure how well my instincts would kick in after labor, but to my delight I have taken to this whole motherhood thing extremely well. Actually, I've discovered I have quite a knack for mothering and all the things that come with the keeping and organization of home. Before I had my son, my life as a housewife really didn't require me to do much of anything. I am actually very much enjoying all the new chaos and hustle of my new lifestyle. I know that the urge to nest is normal, but having this new purpose in my life has been so motivating. All of my time has been spent, of course, taking care of Tachi - but also a great deal of organizing, planning/preparing, adapting and settling into my own mommy system (which is constantly evolving as I experiment and perfect it) in order to continue being productive in the most effective, efficient, and practical way. As I've been establishing this new system of my own while also searching the best resources for moms like myself (and generally anyone who is looking to conveniently organize their life) I've noticed that there really isn't much in the ways of good resources available in one place. Hence, I thought it would be nice to blog all of the useful tools and ideas that I've come up with, as well as the best resources I find on the internet. I hope that this blog will be helpful to my readers so that we can all better the quality of life for ourselves and for our families. So, please do continue to visit this blog as it grows and fills with tons of information and resources (such as downloads, print-outs, and other tools for moms and dads alike).
