I may be a chronic maker, but my full time job is “mom”. All the making I do, just fills in the cracks of my real job. Our homeschool days look so different these days compared to when my girls were little. My high schooler, @ruby_waech goes off to the community college twice a week, has a part time job and surfs every chance she gets. My middle schooler is mostly independent in her studies and requests trips to the beach for creative writing inspiration. Yes, I do get to make more things now that they’re older, but the down side is that I don’t have toddlers in the house to use as fit models anymore!
I haven’t taken a personality test in over 20 years, but I already know that I’m one of those people who has a strong urge to finish everything I start.

This has been a major burden for me as a maker, because even when I can tell my project isn’t going how I want it to, I feel a guilt to finish anyway.

The good news for any of you who have this same weakness...I’ve just redefined what “finished” means! Finished doesn’t have to mean that an actual product was made to completion, but that the project has served its purpose!

FINISHED has now become more about the PROCESS and less about the PROJECT. What freedom for us chronic “finishers”! {working through the process in my stories}

Oh man am I itching to get back outside after this extra long cold I’ve had! I’m really missing all that fresh air and those hidden treasures. What do you miss most when your down with a cold?
Rainbow neutrals.
I’ve been sick all week. Curled up right here on the couch. Thankful that after 16 years of motherhood, I finally get time to rest while being sick. It’s a luxury that I’m not taking for granted. All those mixed emotions come rising to the surface of watching your babies turn into teens, and we all know what happens next... 🕊
It’s freezing outside, but I got some sunshine on the inside! Except even these sunny Chamomiles didn’t prevent my kombucha from growing a layer of mold, ewwwww. They say mold grows with too much acidity or too cold of temps. I’m guessing its the cold temps. 🌼
Cozy boy outfit on point! Loving this look put together by mama @kindred_indigo! 🌱Romper by @bearandthewoodsco, 🌱necklace by @bluemoonholistics, 🌱 bonnet by me!
