Slowing Down....

I've been feeling the need recently to just S-L-O-W down...

It seems that each week my kids grow another inch....tackle a new task

and edge just a little bit older....

In the midst of all this, I am realizing even more that these moments are 

precious and few and will be gone in the blink of an eye...

It seems that only yesterday, I was measuring my son's life here under our

roof as "halfway" to eighteen....have almost 4 years slipped away since then?

This summer, I want to enjoy each and every moment with them....

I desire to have "free time".......

So what that means is that I'll be stepping away from frequent and regular posts here.

At this point, I still plan to host my weekly party....it's a chance to spotlight projects 

that may not get the exposure elsewhere....but, I am not tied to it.

As I continue to do projects here at home, I will share them with you....and

I will continue to do projects....that's just who I am!

But, instead of doing projects for you....I'll be doing projects for me...

Instead of worrying about taking perfectly staged pictures and rushing

to make sure there's a project (or two) to post a week, I'm going to live

life first and share projects...second.

I'll miss seeing you all on a "regular" basis, but I'd regret even more, my 

kiddo's seeing their mama on a regular basis...

So I'll be back occasionally....maybe even in a week or so because I've been 

inspired to FINISH MY DINING ROOM!!!

Yes...it's really happening and you've all patiently watched me paint....repaint...repaint...whine and complain...and paint!

I also have a few giveaways that I have sitting in my queue that I

still want to share with you!

But, if you see long breaks between posts, just know it's because.... 

I snuggled on the couch watching National Treasure instead of editing photos....

I was picking strawberries and planting beans with my daughter instead of editing posts....

I am sitting by the pool watching my boys perfect their dives instead of

trolling Pinterest for my next project idea....

....and you know what....it feels GREAT!
