You know that moment when your about to go into public with your kids and you psych yourself up… Do whatever it is you do to stack up all the patience you have in your personal reservoir so you can do “the whisper” effectively without yelling in the presence of all the picture perfect parents out there.
Well I did all of that (and a bag of chips) (literally I packed an emergency lunchbox of treats for potential bribing )today! Packed my two kids in the car/ huge bag of stuff/ and we went to the aquatic center on March break !!!! #Bravemomma
Well I am proud to say we had a great day. I kick myself for wasting so much energy preparing myself and psyching myself up for a challenging outing. Another mom even said (and I quote) “Your kids are so well behaved”
Momma victory today guys! And the funny part.. if I didn’t do the whole “psych yourself up/pack all the treats” bit I bet you 100 pretzels it would have been a disaster.
I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus!
