So now what?
What does a career mama do when her kids are "grown"?
At 21 and 19 they don't need me anymore.  I am grateful they still want me.... but I am not really needed anymore. Nor should I be , if I have done my job right.

 So ...Let's  just say I am retired.

But now What???

The thing is...

For me it's not " NOW what do I do"?

For me.... it's "now what do I do FIRST"?

I have so many things I want to do, try, express, share and learn.  And so many places I want to go.

 So many ideas crammed in my head. My problem is what to do first. How to organize and finally follow through with all those ideas.

Well,  I'm hoping this blog will be a good place to start.

So, should I change the name? Plain Jane mama? Does that fit anymore? I am not actively parenting anymore.

The more I thought about it , I really felt like I will always be mama.  It's who I am, who I was meant to be.   Not just to my kids because I do have a tendency to mama wherever I go. And most of my creative ideas and thoughts and plans are linked to what I've learned from full time parenting.
So for now I will remain plain Jane Mama. Your average plain and simple Mama,  sharing what she has learned and what she continues to learn , and .......

 how she goes about becoming Jane again too.
