I feel like I'm in a fog these days. Yes, it's summer. No schedule or agenda. But I'm thinking I might just need that to be motivated around here.
The girls play outside. A lot. While Cooper barks at the heels of their bikes and scooters. Life is good that way. They love being home.
As for me, their mom, I need to be out and about. Doing things. Lots and lots of different things. That's the way I've always been. So I drag them on adventures to southern California. Where they both (more so Carys) becomes incredibly homesick 3 days into it and begs to return home. There has got to be a middle ground this summer between us girls.
What will I do to fill the rest of our summer without feeling like I'm being suffocated by a routine of staying home? Any suggestions? Anyone out there?
I think for today, I just need to take a shower.
The End.
Zoe,Just peaked at your beautiful website/blog! Love everything in it! We have similar taste..well everything girly since we have 2 girly girls too. lol Anyhow, couple things: I am now finding Savannah to be the same way..doesn't even want to go play with friends ( unless girls?) What happend here? I am at a loss of what to think or say to her. We still do but our last play date was a total fail date. 2) You need to sell our beautiful crap for more!!! Eye pillows should at least be $4-7$ more! Also you blingy clip has to be at least $4-5!! I know you just want to sell and it is a fun hobby for you etc etc. I have been in your shoes before, I used to sell hand made jewelry at a shop in Carmel a long time ago and did the same etc etc. It was fun and my hobby that gave me some extra $.But here is what I have been reading/learning from fellow craft-ism, ,crafters etc have said before if you sell too cheap you are doing a disservice to yourself and fellow handmade goods makers because they cannot compete or blah blah etc..Anyhow just saying your stuff is beautiful and I would pay more! Check out Whole foods where we bought our last eye pillows-yes Greg uses one too lol. They are way more and way less beautiful. On that thought maybe I need to stock up on some of yours-hehe. Anyhow your stuff is beautiful and up my alley! You should do a Etsy store if you get way into it. I thought of this for myself..I may be getting closer to that spot in my life, we will see.
