  • Long post alert 🚨
.
I started my blog as a creative place to make things and feel inspired, to share my personal thoughts and life happenings without any pressure or stress, just joy ✨
.
Instagram was the perfect off-shoot of that too as a sort of mini-blog. But it's slowly lost its joy for me. I feel behind when I don't post every day. I feel uninspired when I scroll through my camera roll looking for an "Instagram worthy" photo to share. I've been looking at the numbers way too much and have let that take away from the fun of this.
Instead of enjoying everyone's beautiful posts and having real engagement with you lovely people I quickly scroll through trying to "catch up" (impossible, especially with how instagram is now) and not miss anything. I love seeing peoples feeds and reading their stories but comparison is taking away the joy in that too.
.
So a few days ago I made the decision to take a break. Don't get me wrong, I know it seems strange that I had to give myself permission to formally take a break from something as silly as instagram, but the moment I did I felt a huge weight being lifted.
.
So I'm letting myself let go of the pressure to post here and my blog for a while. I'm going to give my time to my family + my business instead of scrolling and looking for the perfect photo to post that matches my feed. I might be back next week or next year, but whenever it is it will be because I have room for it in my life again πŸ–€
.
And if you made it this far then wow, I'm impressed πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜‚ Thanks for following along with my shenanigans and I hope we can be friends when I get back!
  • F O U R years just flew by! Happy anniversary to us πŸ₯‚πŸ’•
.
Today we got to watch my sister in law and her fiancΓ© get married on a rainy day very much like ours 4 short years ago.
Then the rest of the day was pretty much chaos, but it ended with wine, takeout, and Netflix which I am so ok with ❀️
  • The G O O D: babe slept in until 7 this morning, I have a shoot today (creativity, yay!), and I think I might be getting over being sick πŸ™ŒπŸ»
.
The B A D: all we've eaten for the past few days is toast because there is no other food in the house.. and we're running low on bread 😬, I think I got Bash sick with whatever I have + he has an eye infection that hopefully he doesn't pass on to us #sharingisnotcaring
.
The G O O D: we have a place to live, and bread to eat, and free health care, and jobs πŸ–€
  • What I wish my life looked like today πŸ‘†πŸ»Coffee, planning, blogging, creating, looking presentable πŸ’πŸΌ
.
What it actually looks like: day 3 of being weirdly sick, week 2 of Bash not feeling well + not himself, a to-do list a mile long, but zero energy to even look at it.
Not really how I pictured the middle of my summer going, but hopefully we will all make it through and can get back to normal soon ✨
  • N I N E months!
.
July was a crazy month for this guy, but we made it through πŸŽ‰ Nine months was also the hardest photo to take... way easier before he was mobile πŸ˜‚ #bashbythemonth
  • What that πŸ‘†πŸ»glass says!  Happy weekend, all πŸ’•
