Introduction

Hello, hello and welcome to Conscience Minded Mama's blog. Conscience minded mama here also known as Haley. I am busy mother of three and wife to one. I have three girls and am happily married to the most supportive husband in the world! Currently finishing my degree in nursing and taking some time off of work to focus on raising my three eccentric, beautiful, absolutely amazing little ladies. My girls are ages five months, four and six.

I am creating this blog to centralize my thoughts, ideas and interests. I am hoping you will enjoy the content and are able to keep up with the chaos! I plan on posting recipes, reviews, craft ideas, family where-abouts, how-tos and of course everyone's favorites, giveaways!!!

Some of the content will include ways to raise confident children, managing stress, surviving nursing school, how to get free stuff, cloth diapering, making your own cleaning supplies, travel, self-care, just to name a few....

Definition of Conscience

the part of the mind that makes you aware of your actions as being either morally right or wrong

Have you ever been in a silent argument with yourself? Contemplating whether you should do something, feel something, or say something but unsure if it is the right decision? Maybe you feel as if you are right but cannot help but think maybe you are in fact wrong. Yes, we have all been there! I am always battling my inner thoughts, always far too hard on myself, questioning my decisions. I am going to work on allowing myself to be wrong sometimes and not think too far into it. You physically cannot make the right decision 100% of the time. Life is trial and error and sometimes other factors come into place.

What I mean by this is that for example, I try or want to feed my children 100% organic, only use natural products, buy only toys that double as fun and educational, etc. However, I also want to be home with them more and not pay a babysitter to raise them. If I do not work I do not have the money to provide what I feel is the very best, food, clothing, products, etc. for them. This makes me feel as if I am failing as a parent and then I have the hard decision, do I return to work and take them to a sitter or do I feed them the best I can with the money I have and be home to support them mentally and physically and allow my husband to be their sole provider financially. Also on the toy front, do I deprive them of the new trendy toys that all their friends have just because I think it is a waste of time and money or do I just allow them to "be kids" so to speak. We will get more into this later but it is a beginning thought.....stay tuned for more!
