Unbalanced

I wish I could say that balance was a word that easily flowed from our every day life, but it isn't. Someday I am hoping to have some sort of "balance" when it comes to being a mom, crafter, baker, wife, and a whole lot of other titles I carry. But for right now, I am not balanced. And to go further, neither is our house and it's members. I am quickly discovering that trying to do craft shows again this year is becoming more of a challenge than I had anticipated. Yesterday it became painfully clear that all my work has unbalanced my girls. The house was filled with more tears and more screaming yesterday than I have ever heard (and that includes both coming from me). I took a step back and realized that I had/have been working every day this week, non stop. And although it allows me to sleep better at night knowing that I got some sewing done, my girls were needing their mom back. So we baked,

we tasted

made messes with powdered sugar

tested the frosting to make sure it was just right

Ella giving me the A-OK on the frosting

chocolate heaven (or so I was hoping. Note to self: Don't buy store brand cake mixes. They NEVER turn out good)

and I slept with Miss Kyndall on my chest since she woke up early. I miss this part of her so much. Feelings her little body just relax as we rock together and feel her breathing just fall into a sleep pattern is just beautiful. And there it was balance, once again in our house. And although I have been working today, I have stopped to dance the Hokey Pokey and to love on my little teething princess and run around the house chasing after both of them. Take a peek at one of the outfits I made today. Can you say super cute!!

I am glad we are all balanced and ready for this most spectacular weekend. My little baby boy is playing in his first tackle football game this weekend. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but it so is to me. He is growing up so fast and I couldn't be more proud of what he is becoming, even the awnry-ness! I just can't wait!! Happy Friday everyone!!
