Just a few thoughts...


Hello there!

I don't have much to say (I don't think!), but just looking for a place to call my own where I can jot down thoughts, ideas, memories, plans, dreams, projects... All the clutter that floats around in my mind!

I've been thinking a lot about ME lately. Not in a selfish, look at me kind of way. More in a "remember that girl you use to be" kind of way. A "who do you want to be" kind of way. A "look at how blessed I am!" kind of way. And a "look how far I still have to go!" kind of way.

Now that Baby Girl is a year and a half, I feel like I finally have time (and energy!) to think beyond dirty diapers, nursing, and baby food. Time to think about the world outside of strickly baby needs.

Not to say that I'm not still in the throws of baby raising ~ just that I finally feel like I have my head above water! That I'm swimming (treading water?) instead of drowing. When you realize you aren't drowing anymore, it leaves time for having fun, dancing in the kitchen, singing in the shower, being creative.

I feel like I have time and desire to focus on other things that make me who I am. Time to read books (and I'm not talking about Parenting Magazine!), clean/organize the house, start projects, get creative in the kitchen, paint the bathroom, plan a baby shower for a friend, write, play outside with my Baby Girl. Energy to focus on my marriage, meet my husbands needs as well as my own. Deepen, strengthen and focus on my relationship withthe Lord!

Life! I love ya
