Deleteold photo, from last year. my 5 year old keeps telling me I looked prettier with longer hair!
Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. I wish I could have you over and we could share our creative frustrations and bolster each other up. I battle the fear and self-doubt thing a lot!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for partner's who pitch in, and sweet little helping hands. We planted seeds too, though there was no music involved :( Next time. We are planting our white sage seeds this weekend and they could definitely use some singing. xo
Don't you love Obaitori?
I think we need a Mama date! lol
Deleteooooo, white sage!!! love! I wish I could grow it here, but I don't think it would do well in our climate. :(
I love that your rainbows outnumber your tears. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that, too!
Deletehello beautiful!
ReplyDeleteand i think you have what it takes to make your dreams a reality. you're so grounded and seem so sure of what is/n't important to you...i vote yes :)
awww, thank you soooo much!
Deletexo
You are absolutely beautiful....
ReplyDeleteCooking is not on my list of "favorite things to do" haha! Although I do like to cook up a good herbal remedy or even a new healthy recipe for fun. Its the mundane, let's cook yet another meal so that we can spend 3 hrs in the kitchen...cleaning so I can cook, cooking, serving, cleaning up again:/ I think we may have to become a raw food only family. Meal plan: Go to the garden and eat whatever you would like for dinner and then wash your hands before you come in...dinner done...LOL
lol! we do that for lunch in the summer. "you want lunch? go in the garden!" there have been many times when we just snacked on big platter of raw veggies and hummus instead of a "regular" lunch. they LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely post and a beautiful photo. Have no fear, jump and go for it, you will never know if you don't try.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletei love it when the Hubs cooks...and especially when i've had a long day and i come home to a gorgeous dinner waiting...LOLz..the tables hath turned...:)
ReplyDeletewe've got rain!! hope you have it too...
seeds and snuggles...perfect.
xo
We chuckle at our role reversals - he's the nurse, and I'm slowly taking over the wood shop!
DeleteWe've had sprinkles for a couple minutes, then the sun comes back out. Hopefully soon! The dirt is so dry it's cracking.
Beautiful post Amanda.....fear & self doubt is normal ... the first step no matter how small banishes it.....
ReplyDeletewhat a hubby to do the cooking ....he is a definite keeper...
Enjoy the quiet this weekend Hon...and the much needed rain...right now I am seeing sunshine and I have to say I want the rain...LOL
Gorgeous pic of you ...Mom must be so proud...
note to self...I need to do a senses post for this weekend...:)
Thank you, Linda! Mom took this photo last year, it's become her favorite. I like to think she's proud. I hope she is. :)
DeleteHOT MAMA!
ReplyDeleteWell, you could always model and then just get a personal cook. ; )
I get it. I always feel on the rollercoaster of inspiration. Not feeling inspired to do the "normal" mama/wife/homemaker things is really a crappy feeling.
Yay on new seedlings! Hugs,
C
LOL!!! I'm waaaaay too short to ever think of modeling. But, thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful life, beautiful you!!
