Tonight, after I put my kids to bed, I found myself hanging streamers and blowing up balloons when I'd prefer to be asleep (or maybe watching Parks & Recreation). Ah, yes, I have finally succumbed to the stage of parenthood where I do stuff for my kid's birthday. Truth is, it's really fun. I'm super … Continue reading my girl

I've had another blog draft in the works about this topic, but I feel inspired to write in the rawness of my feelings right now.

My parents always insisted my eyes are bigger in the morning. I think they are right.

Little by little, the ceiling is turning white. It's old, grainy wood, and it takes a lot of time and effort to get the paint into all the tiny cracks and holes in the wood. By the way, it's just primer. I can't imagine painting this all again with actual paint. Nope... But I don't think I'd mind painting the log walls again. It's a bit easier. Either way, straight primer is brightening up this dark cabin! It's so much nicer now than when we first moved in.

The fun part of the #KonMari method... actually finding the things which spark joy! These are the flowers from my wedding 8 years ago. They've been packed up in cardboard boxes in a shed, and their boxes were smashed and quite dirty. Thankfully I only had to throw out a few flowers. Now they are gently packed in a plastic bin in my home. Once I get our house in order, I can’t wait to find ways to decorate with them! These flowers make me so happy!!! #sparkjoy #daisy #gerberadaisy

Not sure how long the greenery will last. This was pretty fun. #macrame #naturecrafts #makersgonnamake

WOW. How simple and so profound. When I get caught up in the small stuff, I need to step back and remember the larger truth of the matter. When I get caught up focusing on what's too big for me to tackle, it's time to bring it back to a local/personal level. Life is about balance.
