Today’s feature blogger Bike, Banjo & Baby believes you shouldn’t give up what you love when you become a parent.
Let’s find out how she makes it work!
I believe that parents should hold onto what they love, even with a baby in the house. My husband is passionate about bikes and I love to play the five-string banjo. My blog is all about squeezing in time for your passions while busily raising a little one. Stop by and let me know what your interests are and how you manage to juggle them, with or without kids!
Bike, Banjo & Baby suggests these 3 favorite posts:
- Words, Words, Words
- Ten Things I Love About Havana
- A Cabin in the Woods…With a Five-Month-Old…In February
Your turn! Comment below for roll call then get to Bike, Banjo & Baby and share the comment love!

Hi Suzanne! Happy SITS day! I don’t know how you manage to reply to everyone. I just wanted to say that your family photo is gorgeous and that your approach to continue with the things you love in life with a baby in tow is great!

I was replying while C was napping and now she’s in bed for the night and I’m at it again. Thanks so much for visiting!

I would just like to point out that although it says I posted that at 3pm, I did not. I don’t put my baby to bed for the night at 3, although some days I wish I could.

I’m just muddling through, myself. Balance is a work in progress.

You and I share the belief that you should still remain who you are despite the family life. Happy SITS day!

I do believe that. And everyone benefits. Kids need to have positive role models, and parents who are well-rounded people are good examples for them, I think.

I found it easier to juggle it all when they were little, believe it or not. But it won’t be long before I am a 1/2 empty nester so my time will come again … Heading over to check out the three B’s!
Beth (OMG! Yummy) recently posted..Food Poetry: Ode to Nutella
Really? That’s interesting and I’d love to hear more. What about older kids makes it difficult to juggle. I want to know what I’m in for. Or maybe I don’t. Haha.
Suzanne recently posted..Happy SITS Day to Me
Have to agree — I lost a little of myself at first, but I’m finding it again! Happy SITS day!

You have the right attitude. I agree wholeheartedly. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a while and have been unsuccessful, but instead of crying about it, we are fully embracing the time that we have alone together as a couple. We travel, explore, eat out, enjoy time with our friends and their children. I tell my husband he’s my big baby!

Suzanne, your blog is adorable! I love your position that you don’t have to “give something up” to become a parent. Can’t wait to read more!

Sounds like a blog I could’ve used “back in the day” when my kids were small. My hobbies and pastimes disappeared as my time was filled with the children.

I agree with you 100%! Part of the reason I believe my parents were so successful at guiding my sister and I through life was the realization early on that they had their own special likes/interests/hobbies. I hope to be able to do this one day when I’m a parent, but I’m sure it’s much easier said than done. Checking out your blog now – Happy SITS Day!
