A Quick Reminder

It's August 3 .... HOW? I feel like I was just planning summer activities... just starting to enjoy the HOT weather .... { don't get me wrong I always welcome fall with open arms... because, PSL & UGGS, duh } but I feel like once again I was so busy making plans, the time just crept on me and it was all in the rear view.


While I was busy nearly every single second, and I did try my best to absorb all of the goodness and smiles I could, I still couldn't list exactly what I accomplished. I made so many goals & most I met, I did fall short on some. Not for a lack of trying... more of just a lack of time. It seems kinda counter intuitive but my goal for the rest of August is to slow down.


It's hard though. When I am in the zone I just GO-GO-GO & don't even try to slow me down. It's great. By like 10am I have a sparkling house, the laundry mountain is a molehill, my tiny humans are fed and happily playing, and my orders are filled. And it's a GREAT feeling. BUT, I also need to be reminded to slow down. Life isn't all about checking off the boxes. I remind myself it's about the impromptu dance parties while making dinner because my toddler asks for "moosik," or letting the kids roll around in the yard- grass stains and all-- just because it's a perfect summer evening.


Days like that, the laundry can wait & the dishes can pile up (but the Etsy orders still fill!) and I'm going to soak up every single second... because that's what I do when I live my [ basic suburban ] life .
