Summer Slows Me Down!

So, its officially summer here and probably well, everywhere. Yep, its summer and its dang hot. I tend to stay up late when its hot. I had every intention of creating a slide show tonight. Full of pictures, text and music. But alas, my laptop doesn't seem to have a movie maker app. I would need to purchase one and reviews are not so great on most. So, I declined downloading anything new this evening and instead decided to write.

One of the problems with me and heat, well I do get easily distracted an ummm its hot..

I did just for fun create a short video. I pointed to the fan, showed off a few books new to our home and just smiled. That's what heat does to me, makes me just a tad sillier.

I did create a few new necklaces lately and am really pleased with this one...

I also escaped the heat of the city and enjoyed the heat and beauty of Mt Rainier and Stevens Canyon

Where I discovered campfire toast is delicious

I also discovered stick trees that poke the sky and look really freakishly spectacular even thou the have no leaves and nearly no branches

 

Step Away!

Sometimes, you really need to just step away. Wether it be from business, the kids, the kitchen~just step away! Having a little balance in your life is healthy. That is why a few times a week I walk five miles or more on any given day. Great exercise, fresh air and usually lunch out. This also means a learning time for me and my little one. He is just beginning to walk, gets super excited when you introduce him to something new and would rather stay up than sleep and miss out on something. This is balance. Hearing the squeals of a little one, buying paint instead of beads, crawling on foam strawberries with your little one or pulling the toys off the shelf at your local toy store.

Balance is important for all of us. The babe can't walk steady just yet. You know the term "walking like a drunken sailor"? That's my babe. Balance is so important to him as well. That's why today, while I am preparing for market he's playing with Dad!!

I hope you all are enjoying your holiday and finding balance in your life.
