I love how Amanda is living her life...it's a bit late for me to raise my girls this way, but I can learn from her and make some changes. I know I need to be more creative and spend time with like minded women. My Mom was very creative...and had so many talents. I grew up thinking that all moms were like that. I was wrong...she was pretty special. Crafty and always busy. Both my grandmothers were the same.
I have never baked a pie...(still Elizabeth!!)
I have it in me. I've lived this life in chunks here and there...but never fully committed to it. I've always had trouble with the focus. I've also had trouble with the "perfection" part. Something always stops me from moving forward if I think I might mess up. Something holds me back...
I need a new mantra...I need to BELIEVE IT. I have never been a "soccer mom"... I have never been a "career woman"... I am a "Creative, Home-loving Mama"... and so much more.
This year is big. Two girls graduate. One girl might leave home. One Mama needs to figure out "phase two". Come up with a plan...meet more new friends...eat more greens...drink more water...take more walks...bake a loaf of bread and yes, maybe even make a pie. Stuff needs to leave this house.
I knew this year was coming.
