the stress level has hit a new high around here.
mostly in anticipation of what's to come.
we are about to embark on a
crazy,
wild
(hopefully) fun and
unchartered journey.
three schools for three kids.
every moment accounted for.
i even just emailed L's speech therapist
to see if she had any 6:30am
(yes, in the morning)
slots open.
i'm just trying to cram it all in.
all that needs to be done.
i have a constant struggle.
i really don't want my life to become
scheduling,
rescheduling,
cancelling and
going to therapy with L.
on top of regular,
real life as a wife and momma.
that cannot be my life.
i am always trying to figure out
what the healthy balance is
between giving my family what they need
(without being a robot)
and doing what I love.
i love so many things and
photography is one of those things.
that i love.
so is this blog.
B thinks i will always struggle with doing too much.
and he's probably right.
the struggle for me is figuring out
what needs to be done and
what i want to do.
the problem is, i love being this person
to every person.
i love to give thoughtful gifts
and plan nice parties and celebrations.
i get a little high out of planning ahead
and it's starting to take its toll on me.
it's time for a good old fashion re-prioritizing of life.
isn't it nice that the fall naturally brings that?
it is nice.
so all this to say,
i will now be updating my blog more like 3-4 times a week,
rather than 5x a week.
i know.
this is major news.
not really,
but there are a few of you
who will worry about me
if i don't update this little blog every day.
so for those couple of people,
this announcement is for you.
head over to mallory's blog
and see how her life so relates
to yours and mine.
picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal that we don't have it all together.
i will post a
picture me {im}perfectly
blog post every wednesday
where you will be able to link up to your blog
revealing that:
you are not picture perfect,
your kids are not picture perfect,
your house is not picture perfect,
your crafts are not always picture perfect,
let's
encourage,
inspire and
remind
other women
that none of us have it all together.
and link up to your direct posting
and feel encouraged.
