Hooray for us stay at home Moms! I have to admit I would rather be making cakes A LOT of the time but a cake is lacking the most important ingredient that would determine its priority over my kids...a soul! Molding a child is ARTWORK, and our "art" is truly eternal ...better than the most perfect Colette cake, bette than Shakespeare even. Whether it is cake or kids we are artists no matter which craft we are doing. Giving up the cake temporarily is a sacrifice that your kids will only benefit from. I know that I am itching to perfect the cake craft and move on to my own business but I just keep telling myself that the job I am doing now is too important to do halfway. (My kids are 7,5,4,3,1.5 and I am expecting #6!)
I feel like I'm 40 and too old to start all over!
Oh no no no no no!!!!
I will be 50 years old in January and I feel like I'm starting the prime of my life! I've never had so much fun! It's a new adventure every single day!
40 too old? HOney, you're just surfacing the crest of life! Do it to it and do it today!!!!
Julia Child was in her mid-forties when she took her first cooking class..it's never to late!!!!
What is optimism? The 92 year-old woman who bought a new set of golf clubs (an aquaintance of my parents). I think of her when I start thinking I'm "too old". My twins are in college, and I couldn't be more proud of them or be more thankful that I was there for them during their formative years. There will plenty of time to realize your dream...just don't give up or tell yourself you're too old! I'm starting my own business, and while scary, it's exciting too. And my sons are my biggest supporters.

Rodney Dangerfield was in his forties ... and an aluminum siding salesman .... when he got his first big break.
Henry Ford was 38 years old when he formed Ford Motor Company.
Laura Ingalls Wilder (Author of Little House on the Prairie books) was 44 before she got her first writing job with a magazine.
No..... it's never too late. I think this list shows you CAN have it all and at your own pace!! 
So sorry I missed the rest of these posts! I had to run errands so I missed all the great posts.
To the OP, good luck and enjoy those kids! Take time with them and teach them your skills, then when you do start up again you have a future work force! LOL.
To everyone else, esp. Indydebi, those were great inspirations of people who didn't let a age number stop them. Thanks, I was having a down day and needed that!
