It seems a lot of my life is separated into BB and AB. (Before Baby and After Baby) As much as I was adamant about how having a baby would not change who I am, once again, I was Wrong. So wrong. (this is a reoccurring theme, lol)

Life as Mom, After Baby

I am sure plenty of people have kids and go right back to who they were, but there’s no way I can stay out late and do events several nights a week and then get up and take good care of my son. Having a pounding hangover does not make for a happy and engaged mom.

And I worked all the time. I loved my work, and events were part of that. But owning a business and a retail store takes ALL your time and brain power just thinking about all you have to do. A business requires care and tending as well. So I closed my store, dissolved the Three Muses Clothing, LLC and took a step back.

In the mean time, I started this blog and called it Geek Mamas because I had big plans to involve lots of other moms. Then I realized I barely had time to run it myself, much less work with other people so I just began to blog about stuff I had going on and that seemed to work better. I’d still like to have guest bloggers though. We’ll work on that…

I still like to make things so I kept my Etsy shop open and my facebook page and just changed the names to Candy K Cosplay as a sort of placeholder while I figured things out.

I now identify as Mom, geek, cosplayer and all-around crafty person. I also love the beach but Sew Beachy Geek Mama seemed too long…

So here is the official new business/blog name and new logo:

I’m working on changing all my social media links and names and everything. There’s so much! I’m still finding Three Muses stuff everywhere too. I don’t plan on doing a big retail thing again. This is just going to be small stuff I can fit in without it interrupting my family life. Little stuff on the side, and my blog and Youtube tutorials when I can. I don’t want a business to take over my life again, because the life After Baby is really great just the way it is!

2024 Update: Who Am I Now?

Business took over again! Just kidding. But really, blogging is now my full-time job and I know exactly who I am. I really enjoy the whole blogging and content creation experience and all the fun things I get to try out and write about.

If you are a mom still trying to figure out the whole “life after having a baby thing,” it takes time. Lots of time. I only got into my groove really good this past year! And it’s always still an evolving thing as my son grows up and things change.
