Head in the Clouds


I've been obsessed with clouds lately. Perhaps that's because I've been getting a good view of them. More intelligent thoughts will hopefully appear soon.
Until then....

Time to Breathe

Was a bit nervous about this afternoon. Little O has been going thru some kind of "sleep regression" as of late, that means that I spend an hour plus trying to get him to go to sleep. Husband was out of town last week too, so I didn't have the "Here. You do it." option. It really sucked. So this afternoon we have Little Cousin here with us, and I was worried that it was going to take me all afternoon to get them both to nap. Luckily, for me and my anger management issue, they both went to sleep fairly effortlessly.

So now, I sit and think about something that has been on my mind a lot lately.
When did I become so uptight?
It doesn't take much to throw me off kilter these days, and I get agitated very easily.
It's a bit unnerving because I've been noticing the physical effects of this too. I feel shaky, nervous and sometimes queasy.

Now that I have the time to breathe, I wonder - How can I fix it?

Who Are You?

Pie



The pie turned out good... a little runny - so next time I'll add a bit more tapioca starch, but the flavor was awesome. Not too sweet... not too sour.



I feel lucky to have an heirloom rhubarb plant in our backyard. How awesome is it that I can go out the back door and pick the stalks to put in our pie for that night? Talk about knowing where your food comes from....

Mmmmm.....

So this is where my brain is today...

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Looking Up

Man, I love Spring!







Self Care


Not sure if anyone's still with me here, but it doesn't really matter. I decided that this whole blog thing really isn't for y'all anyways. The main reason I started it was for me... to give myself a space to 'be'. But I lost motivation, and time. The priority of "Me" got bumped WAY down on the list.

I've blown off the dust on this blog, and have sparked a new interest in doing some more things for myself. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to try to not get intimidated by all the other blogs that I read on a daily basis (like this one - and this one) and remember that this space needs to be what "I" need it to be. No advertisers here, looking for a plug. No Uber-Crafty-Hipsters, looking for the next project to knock off.

Some days I'll write, and others I'll just post photos. Or perhaps something that has inspired me for the day.

Check back, if you're interested. If not, that's cool too.

Under Construction.....

I'm getting re inspired. Getting back on the horse, as they say.

Stay Tuned.....
