Everyday since my little guy started attending his summer camp, he doesn’t want to come home. “Can’t I stay and play longer?” Best feeling. And so much better than what he’s felt about childcare. So.Much.Better. Their field trip was to paint today. This is his work of art (that he’s decided he wants in the playroom). Not bad. :) Not bad at all. That chunk of change for summer camp was a completely unexpected expense, but worth way more than what I spent (already). Happy he’s happy with what he’s doing and learning there (yesterday they had photography class). My #workingmomguilt is slightly calmed down now. 🤦🏽‍♀️ . . . . #momsofinstagram #messy_motherhood #thisisfostercare #fostermom #fosterlove #boymom #momlife

Tonight was a cocktail kind of night. Strawberry basil margaritas are a thing for me. 🍓 🌿 🍹
Am I the only one that is my own worst enemy? No? Didn’t think so. I struggle so much with making time for the things that matter most to me. Mostly it’s those things that I know are part of why I’m here on earth. But why is it so hard then (if it’s your calling)? Fear. Worry. What if I can’t pull it off? What if I fail? No one is buying my book anymore. Why would they buy a second one? ✨ This is no way to live. The years in my rear view mirror have served a purpose, but they’ve also made me realize that nothing is worth putting the dream - the calling - last. ✨ So today I prayed for the energy to sit in my office tonight and work on my writing and all that goes with it. And here I am...feeling halfway decent at 9:45 when I’m usually sitting in my bed trying to keep my eyes open. So let me encourage you friend - don’t let fear of failure hold you back. You know what you’re meant to do and be. Go for it. . . . . . . #carpediem #bestlife #writersofinstagram #storytellingmama #thehappynow #joyfulmamas #joyfulmama #fearless2018 #oneword365 #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #amediting #momsofinstagram #momsoninstagram #writerslife #goforbroke #bestlifenow
Sitting here right now. Trying to find the motivation to go back inside. It’s time for a big change. Don’t know where to begin. #newcareerneedednow
