I still need:
- A really nice camera. It seems like every mom has one of these, and posts adorable pictures online of her adorable children. I guess taking pictures with my phone just isn't going to cut it once I have a baby...
- A hobby. It seems every mom is into something these days. Scrapbooking, crafting, refinishing furniture, sewing. I have no hobby. Unless you count thrifting!
- An at-home business. Why do I get the feeling all the moms are trying to sell me something?? Oh right, they are. I need to start a candle/housewares/refinished furniture/scrapbooking business to help subsidize my thrifting, right??
- Friends- Ya, I know, I probably need those now, but I'm not very good at making them! It's hard! But what is staying home all day if I don't meet up with some gal pals for gossip and play dates? (Why yes, I am imagining my life will be just like Desperate Housewives, without the psycho drama and divorces. Just kidding!!)
- An adorable nickname for my children, so no blog wierdos can stalk them. I'm leaning toward 'the kidlet'. It's cute, easy to remember, and works for a boy or a girl!
Before you lose hope that I will ever be prepared enough to have children, here is what I already have:
- A blog. But I will probably have to change the name to something like 'Mothering and Loving It' or something cheesy like that.
- A spare room. Because the kidlet has to go somewhere!
Of course, I'm totally kidding about this list. What other things do you think I'll 'need'?

Haha! Cute list. I loved being a "DINK" as you called it. In fact jason & I lived that live for almost 6 yrs before kids. & I only had one thing on your list of needs before having kids... a camera. I didn't start scrapbooking until about 2 1/2 years ago, I didn't really have friends to hang out with until I met some with kids that are around that same ages as mine, I don't sell anything, and never will, and I just use my kids real names on my blog. Steve has a pretty nice camera, steal his :) & you're ready! But, no pressure from me. You can wait as long as you want.. I DID :)

"The kidlet"? Oh, I love it!! Don't even think of changing your blog title unless you can work that in!
Just found your blog from the Modern Mrs. Darcy. Love it, lots of fun. I have to say that the best hobby for a mom is thrift and creative thinking. Looks like you have both for whenever you are ready! Thanks for your post.
Vanessa-Thanks for the encouragement, I'm glad to know I'm more prepared than I thought!
Anne and Christine- Welcome! :)
dont you dare call my niece or nephew the kidlet!!!!
LOL! It's just a nickname, not a real name! Now do you like it more?
