Playful Post

If you haven't already, please hop on over to the collaborative photo blog, Focus on Everyday, I contribute to with my friend Gabi. This week our prompt is playful.

A New Colloborative Blog

My good friend Gabi and I have started a new project, a photo blog. We both love photography, are (great) moms and like to encourage each other. This new project is a perfect fit. We take turns choosing a weekly theme and post a picture we take that represents that theme.

The blog is called Focus on Everyday and you can visit us here:

Our first theme was "parenthood", my picture is below. Please visit the blog to check out Gabi's interpretation.

I Wish...

Thanks to constant nagging comments, e-mail reminders, motivational encouragement, my friend Gabi has inspired me to start blogging again. She also asked me what I want for my blog.

 

I have a lot of things I want for and from this blog. I will list some and hope that I don't get intimidated by my big expectations.

 

- I wish for it to be a space to document my children growing up and proof I spend enough time with them while they still want to spend time with me.

- I wish for it to be a place to share my artistic endeavours (photography, various needle crafts, drawing).

- I wish for it to be a place of inspiration for myself and others.

- I wish for it to be a place to connect with friends near and far.

- I wish to live up to the blog's name - Creating Harmony. I love the double-meaning behind the title. I am creating myself (as we all are) through my experiences and I create art.

 

 

Fun While You Run

I'm not there yet but I can tell it's coming. My runs are becoming more enjoyable in large part to Gabi. I used to love running on my own but I think that was because I didn't have the right running partner.

I don't skip runs when I know she is waiting for me and I am able to push myself further. On Saturday we did 8km and it was easier than I was expecting. A pit stop for a photo op helped too!

Taking a Few Minutes

I had some mommy time this morning with Gabi and she reminded me that even taking 20 minutes to post a blog is worth it. I enjoy posting, it is for me and me alone and taking time for me is important!

Going through some work turmoil, evaluating my next career move and stressing about money makes taking a few minutes here and there for me all the more important.

Thanks Gabi!
