A Few Blog Posts That "Spoke" To Me...

Simple Scrapper: 5 steps to stress-free scrapping

I keep glancing at my scrap table and there's been a partially done layout on there for two weeks but I haven't even felt like working on it or even just putting it away.  It's not that I haven't had time, I've done pleanty of other things that I didn't "need" to do.  I'd look at it, feel overwhelmed by it and walk away.  And it's a fairly simple layout!  Then I read this post:  A Guide To Creating a Minimalist Home.  And it got me to thinking about the spaces in our house and the surfaces that we use.  And it struck me that my scrap table is cluttered, almost every inch.  So I'm going to spend some time on decluttering and I'm hopeful that my layout will get finished!

One of my philosophies in the last 6 months has been to give myself permission to enjoy sitting and watching my kids play and doing a little playing myself.  Whether it is reading, playing a game or watching some TV, it's ok to still to do it even if the dishes aren't clean or the laundrys not done (no matter what my Mom would say:).  I came across this post:  How To Be More Childlike and it reaffirmed my philosophy!!
