let's make art people!

i tend to get out of whack without some sort of schedule. a calendar.

you see. i need structure.

when things have their place in the week, then i can be in the moment without worrying about what i should be doing or what might not be getting done.

i see the irony in the fact that i need a schedule to be "in the moment." don't judge.

because i had a difficult time last season managing my time between the business and home, I decided to really stay on top of it this spring/summer. to be proactive. to book only as much business as i could realistically handle on part-timeish hours. to not let it take over my life.

because, after all, the business was supposed to be a part-time deal. lillian is what i consider to be my full-time job. she, at this point in our lives, is my priority. bradford and i thought a good deal about what it meant for us as parents for me to stay home with her, and we made a decision that this was best. for her. for me. for our family.

so. the point. i made a schedule. a calendar. no hour to hour instructions, only general day to day notes about how to spend the week. for example, wednesday is craft day.

lillian loves to "play paint." she asks to play paint all the time. sometimes, we play paint outside on the sidewalk. sometimes, we play paint on the kitchen floor. (the magic eraser is a dream come true by the way). she hearts paint.

and, i heart my new schedule.

i leave you with some photos of our little family. littles mcgeezy is much loved.

happy tuesday.

[p.s. yes, i realize the photos in this post are different sizes. i have no idea why. it bothers me. it does. but, after spending too much time on trying to fix the problem, i decided to move on. to leave it be as they say. so, sorry.]

[p.p.s. this post is dedicated to ryan sanders who randomly messages me to ask when i am going to update the blog. thanks ryan for keeping me honest. ;) ]
