Got Thyme?

The green leafy herb: I’ve got plenty drying in the kitchen. The seconds, minutes and hours of the day: I come up short. Working full time (with an hour commute), being a Mommy and a Wife doesn’t leave me feeling with a lot of time to do those things that I would like to do.  Sure, a lot of people would say its just a matter of prioritizing, of making the time for myself more important than some other things.  I often talk to my children in terms of ‘things we want to do/things we have to do’ and maybe I should take some of my own advice.  But honestly, after I’m done with the ‘have to dos’ about all I have the energy and desire to do is plop on the couch.
I started this blog with the hopes of documenting the adventures of my family through stories and photos all centered around our new way of approaching living.  What I’ve figured out is that it is hard to find the time to sit down and write on a consistent basis.  Even when I’ve tried just writing in a journal before bed I never quite stick to the routine!  I enjoy it so much when I do find the time to write that I decided that I needed to find a way to make THIS routine work.  Putting off other important (and less desirable) tasks for later simply won’t do.  I need to find a way to turn this into a routine, using tasks that are already on my to do list as inspiration.
Every Tuesday is when I pick up the children early from school/daycare and we do a project.  Combining my preschool teacher background and my daughter’s never ending imagination, we usually come up with something pretty good.  And from here on out, I will be sharing them with you.  Every Tuesday I will document our “Crafternoons”.  It will bring me piece of mind and calmness of spirit, maybe it will bring you some new ideas.
Health and Happiness,
Cerissa
