She puts together my thoughts...beautifully

Came across a blog today called  Lemon Thistle and what she wrote really resonated with me.
It was like she was almost in my head. Check out her blog! its a good read!

 "I have had many people ask my why I would want to spend my time blogging and I have a few reasons. First, I want to be challenged to create, adventure, and notice the little joys in life- then document it. It’s so easy to let life speed by without taking the time to appreciate what we have- even if we do it’s easy to keep that to ourselves without expressing it.

Second, I love to create beautiful things. Whether that be images, parties, food, or décor- I get excited to dream up a new party theme, test out a sewing pattern, or photograph a precious newborn. I hope to find people/you who share these passions and be encouraged by your work as well.

Third, I’m heading into a new stage of life (babies!) and my dream would be to stay home with our children and eventually start a home business. Since I have so many interests and am decent adequate at most, I’m excited to explore them to find what I’m really passionate about… and what I’m not so good at! This is especially important to me since my first business venture while attending university made me jaded to owning my own business again (but that’s another story)".

This is how much I love you.

Came across a blog today and reading her very first post i thought to myself  "I'm going to enjoy reading this blog" I love finding blogs that captivate you from first post!

I really resonate how she describes the love for your children

"There are some things my husband could do that would make me stop loving him — and I really, really love him. But there is nothing my son could do to make me stop loving him. And that knowledge is the gift I want to give him above all else in this life"

To my babies, this is how much I love you. 

New Expectations

I am a perfectionist. But far from being perfect. And its stressful. I need to lower my expectations of myself. I'm not superwoman. Not even close.

This year I will be more gentle on myself.

That is a reasonable expectation. 

My Life is Scattered

The first post. No one reads it anyways. Maybe no one will ever read my blog. Time only knows.

It took me forever to come up with a name. I wanted a place where I could share my life. What I love, what I experience, what I learn, and my life living with mental illness. I am a mom to two amazing children. My oldest has Autism. and that is a huge part of my life right now. So being the over achiever I am; I will be striving to be the best mom I can be.

I have so many hobbies it's ridiculous. I have actually Googled; "Is it bad to have too many hobbies?" 
I love journalling, jewelry making, coloring, drawing, playing games of any kind, reading, nail art and the list goes on and on. I love Pinterest and I'm hoping with this blog I will be encouraged to try new things and document everything. Oh I should add I'm also a photographer.

I always find things to stress about, my life is extremely disorganised though I am a list maker and and I don't know how to cook. I am the farthest away a person can be from being a housewife.

I have an amazing Husband who puts up with all of the above who is an amazing father to our son. I'd consider him another mom becuase he doesn't full your stereotypical "dad" role.

If you've read this far I commend you. My life is as scattered and all over the place as this post. As the blog evolves, I will too.  This is why this blog was made.

First post...accomplished 😁
