"Most of us came of age in a world that was quite "Most of us came of age in a world that was quite different from the one our children now inhabit. As a child I was fed and clothed and loved and cared for — and otherwise left to my own devices a good deal of the time. Even a generation ago childhood could still be experienced as an accumulation of idle hours — hours in which we were allowed to discover the world for ourselves. We can't reclaim those spacious hours any more than we can turn back the hands of the time and return to that more innocent age. But the lessons taught by the solitude and imposed leisure of childhood are still imprinted on our souls. As children we learned the pleasure of our own company..how to be happy where we were with what we had..how to fill an empty afternoon. But I wonder: Do we give our own children time enough to absorb the subtle teaching of such tranquil moments? Are we granting them the time they need to develop an inner life as well as a social one? I remember many many days when I had nothing but time. Yet today I find that I have to struggle to give my own children the very ease and space that I once took for granted. No...we cannot turn back the hands of time. But as the overworked exhausted parents of a generation of busy overstimulated children – we can slow down the pace of daily life in our own homes. We can gently reshape lives that have become overstuffed and overly stressful. We can give our children fewer activities and more room in which to breathe..fewer lessons and more time in which to make their own discoveries. We can take a good look at our own maxed-out calenders and crowded lives and let go of the activities and commitments that don't enrich our days. We can be easier on ourselves and demand less of our children. We can protect and honor quiet unscheduled time – and we can bequeath it to our sons and daughters." – an excerpt from "Mitten Strings for God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry" by @katrinakenison 🖤

So...what do you want to know? Did we sell it? Or are we moving in? What do we plan to do next? How much did the renovation end up costing? Was it a good investment? Would we do it again? Or maybe you're thinking "Just show me more photos" – that works too! 😆 Ask away below and I'll share a big update in a blog post...or maybe in my stories. Which would you prefer?

I've been feeling creatively uninspired lately – I've been feeling creatively uninspired lately – and as convenient as it would be to blame the current events or the stage of life that I'm in – I'm discovering that the biggest culprit is a lack of self-discipline. Because nothing kills creativity faster than not following through on our ideas. When we have good ideas but don't act on them we grow increasingly frustrated – which only exacerbates the problem. Give your ideas value by acting on them. Don't wait for inspiration to strike. The very act of bringing your ideas to life will only boost your creativity and serve as the biggest source of inspiration to create more. Have you noticed this pattern in your own life? Side note: All but one of the tchotchkes on my dresser are thrifted! Can you believe it?! Who wants a closer look in stories?
