It is not a Mistake - it is a Decision

TieDye silk trousers and light cashmere/silk sweater.

 It is not a mistake. Stick with it. Abide. 

Above all - DO NOT DOUBLE-DOWN by reversing or course-correcting a perceived error. Especially if it is substantial.

Nature MANIFESTS the truest, most momentous dreams QUICKLY; KEEP-TO to, eventually, catch-up.

LEAD with the HEART

 

TieDye linen gauze ruffles.

WINTER is feeling LONELY for this boss mom. 
Decision making, and - OH NO!! - second-guessing, is ISOLATING for the chief executive officer of the home and family …

yum yum rainbow fun

“JELLO” is a pretty anytime crowd pleaser. Great for when kiddos are sick.

A fabulous rainbow lined up in the fridge! I use collected recycled glass containers and jars - gelatin looks appealing and electrolyte powders often have delightful colors. If the flavor has less tint, fun shot glasses acquired on our latest vacation do the just the trick.

Find what you like about shopping, cooking, preparing FOOD and work that angle

frankie says RELAX


When the DEMANDS aren't drowning me - I revel in the fact that I AM more RELAXED in the big picture the more (children) I have to tend to.

But I have been collecting skin abrasions on the hands (holiday production, paperwork) and face (grabby baby, sleepless nights). According to Louise Hay cuts represent over-emphasis on self-imposed rules without ample reward; the fingers are all about the details and near the nose confirms irritation from others’ actions or obsessing over the calendar. Touché.

Peekaboo


Headed through the mountains for a ski weekend and WOOSH hit the eye of a storm. Standstill for hours in a heated car, encircled by blizzard, with four sleeping children plus one large pooch in the back. Are finally able to pull off, U turn and creep treacherously home. No longer on a jubilant trip, BUT, no one knows we are in town. Multitudes of RSVPs have been previously kindly declined. SO play sweet HOOKIE for the entire weekend !!!!!! Two days of sleep, snow play, veg-ing out and cooking-in during the fanciest most frenetic time of the year !!!!!! Ah sweet indulgent naughty bliss.
