I used to HATE going on the social media sites. All my feeds were filled with other Moms making delicious foods and adorable crafts and clothes. It made me feel terrible, and inadequate. Everybody has at least one friend who is like Mother freaking Earth incarnate. She's always making some amazing dinner, and awesome clothes for her multiple kids and out of no where she starts doing art-work. Meanwhile I'm sitting here like "Hey I did the dishes! Again!".
Well I really started thinking about, honestly how do they do it?? The only viable conclusion I could come up with was that it's not them, it's me. There is no reason on earth I couldn't be doing the exact same things. I was simply being lazy. This is not a new revelation to me, I don't think I've ever actually put forth my full effort in anything. Don't get me wrong I have always done everything, just not to the best of my ability.
I was the only thing getting in my way. I have always been a good cook why the hell shouldn't I try something new. I love to paint, I could make amazing inspirational wall art til my arms fall off. I learned to sew in the 7th grade that's my own damn fault my new machine intimidates the crap out of me.
So, I am going to get off my ass and start doing all the things I've jealously watched other people do. I'm going to bake, and can, and sew, and paint, and learn to crochet. I'm going to do whatever makes me happy and productive.
Stay Tuned
