Not the kind that comes from one bad day…but the kind that sits with you. That follows you from room to room. That whispers questions when everything gets quiet. Because I’m standing in the middle of a life transition, I never expected to feel this heavy. I am leaving my full-time job…to come home and care for my children. My three babies. And soon… four, this November. A cozy, sunlit kitchen corner adorned with floral curtains and rustic...]]></description><link>https://www.bloomingwithlorraine.com/post/when-your-heart-keeps-pulling-you-home</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c6b7cc653657f03d62e569</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:01:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b1e18_dc3d339b663b43878d904d3c71dd5060~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lorraine</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I Wasn’t the Mom I Wanted to Be at 1:30AM]]></title><description><![CDATA[At 1:30am, my son called for me… and I didn’t respond the way I wish I had.

Not just the big, obvious dreams—but the quiet ones too. The ones that sit in the background of our hearts… “I want to build something meaningful.” “I want to feel more present with my family.” “I want to bake homemade bread.” “I want to grow into the woman I know I can be.” But somewhere between the dishes, the errands, the responsibilities, and taking care of everyone else…those desires can slowly fade into the background.
