So the consensus lately is that I am just plum crazy! I know on a daily basis I question my own sanity, but keep pluggin along and doing what I do. Honestly…as hectic and crazy and stressful as my life is…I love every second of it. I know to most it seems crazy…wild…stupid…insane…and just flusters every feather on an onlookers body…but to me, it is normal and my life…and I have no reason to want to change it. I have been told I am Super Woman. I am not…ask my kids and Jamie. I am flawed across the board.
I am not the bestest of friend due to my insane time constraints (I do what I can though)
I get snippy around 5 ish (this is when Jamie comes to the rescue)
I rarely cook (know how, do it well, just don’t anymore)…thank you Linda (MIL) for helping with that.
The house gets cleaned…well lets just say before the health department comes in or in sheer moments before a guest is to arrive.
I have a hard time sticking to healthy routines for myself and I bite my nails (well at least until 3 weeks ago…we will see how long that lasts…been doing it off and on since I was a child)
When I get hungry…I am not nice…at all…Jamie is the first to see the signs…and generally has food in front of me stat!
I have a hard time with being wrong…yes people…I am wrong at times…but don’t like it… at ALL!
Now the list can continue probably for longer than I would like to admit, but I think you get the point. With all these flaws I have good qualities to bring to the table as well, and I hope that the majority of those are the ones that my kiddos pick up on. I don’t believe I am Super Woman…if I was…all this that I do would be much easier and I would be flawless…which clearly I am not. But I am a lover of a lot of things. Despite all the strain…everything I do, makes me happy. I am a content woman…and if that makes me Super…then Super it is.
So where is all this coming from? Well…it looks like I just added another item to my list of things I do! I was asked by a very unique woman herself, Angie Warren a fellow photographer and creator of The Creative Mama, to be a part of a new avenue of TCM. You may recall that Angie interviewed me over this summer for TCM, and I was thrilled to be a part of it. Well, a few short months later, Angie made the very difficult decision to stop The Creative Mama blog. Time became and issue, keeping up with the growing demand of the blog readers and subscribers and her growing photography business, and keeping up with those adorable kiddos at home as well. I understand her decision to the fullest. I just recently closed my Photography Boutique for the same reasons. Sometimes something just has to give.
In the last couple of months she has be amazed at the constant traffic her site has been getting, even though she stopped writing. With some brainstorming and late night chatting, she figured out a fabulous way to keep the blog going and make it even better than it already was. She compiled a list of blog writers from all avenues of being a Mom, to be a team for The Creative Mama. And as you have already started to figure out, I was also asked to be a part of the new blog! YAY! Each of the writers will be contributing different things on different days of the month. This will keep the blog fresh, fun, and always interesting. DIY, photography, cooking, homeschooling, shopping, life, the heart and organizing, to name just a few.
So I want each and everyone of you to venture over to The Creative Mama…today is one of my days! This is not a photography blog. This is for anyone that is a mom (and even those that are not). I am honored to be a part of this team, and I am very excited about the posts that I will be working on!
