I have become obsessed and enthralled with home decor! Somehow along the way of browsing bloggy land I stumbled upon some kind of spark I never knew I had that both drives me crazy and thrills me all at the same time. It really is an obsession and I can't make it stop, even though I don't want to... I'm confused and thinking most of the time, really. So, I guess it's a good thing that my mind's racing all the time again now. I was starting to feel like I didn't have anything to challenge me, and even though it's not like saving lives or anything it gives me something to think about, to create, constantly, and for that I'm thankful! I love being a mom. I love my son to pieces. My husband and my son are my life, but (although my husband can be a challenge a lot of the time) I wasn't feeling like I was succeeding with my creative capacity. So this new obsession of mine is the reason that I've been completely absent for approximately 61 days. I'm shifting gears. Bragging about my son and writing about my mommy adventures is great fun, but it's a lot of work and also very time consuming to post pictures and write stories about it all when I have a spare moment (which isn't often)... I'd kinda rather just live those moments with him and pause at sharing them with family and friends over the phone, because beyond that was starting to interfere with my time to spend making those memories, so I needed to step back and refocus so that I can enjoy every minute of his childhood.
Then there are his naptimes. While not thinking about what I could write about our mommy-Alex time I started looking around my house and thinking. Every time I'm sitting by myself trying to avoid the inevitable tedious chores I prolong as long as possible during baby's naps, I'm thinking about what I'd like to see changed in my house and how I can do them just about every spare second now.
Soo, my point is, sometime within the next few days I'll have some 'fruits of my labor' pics to post of the house and maybe some how-to's and I'll throw in some pics of the little man too... who's now growing a mouthful of teeth, eating real food, off of formula and trying to toddle!!! Oy, it's been a crazy few months!!!
