Well, my first week of "working from home" has come and gone and I've documented a lot of it on
instagram. Not gonna lie, it's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster - elation! fear! excitement! frustration! insecurity! Part of my frustration stems from how slowly people seem to be adjusting to
my move. I knew that this would be a possibility and I firmly believe that I made the right call for me long term, BUT it's still bumming me out a bit. Patience, not so much my strong suit. The fear comes from worrying that I won't be able to help support our family. All of these crazy feelings aside, it has been a
joy to spend all day with my little girl. We told each other repeatedly that
we were the best (Matilda fully in on the joke which was hysterical), we sang Adele at the top of our lungs, we danced in the kitchen. We also had some tantrums, power struggles, etc but
I am the boss (at least that's what I keep telling myself, ha!). Just so, so thankful for the opportunity to have this time together, to spread my wings. Leaning on God big time and trusting that we made the right decision. -

ReplyDeletepraying for you today, lesley! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lora! I'll take you up on that!
ReplyDeleteit always takes a minute for people to adjust to a new feed but worry not. it's a new year and you're awesome and i'm excited for you as you move in a new direction! xo
ReplyDeletep.s. did you leave seed factory? i think i might be out of the loop here...
I love that you and Matilda had an inside joke with one another that you both were "the best." So sweet.... very exciting new chapter, for the both of you!
ReplyDelete@christina - i am still at seed factory, working weekends and blogging!
ReplyDelete@jodi - wish you could have heard the dialogue. SO funny.
love all that you have accomplished in your first week home! I think it is a crazy adjustment to make but so worth it! You WILL have tons of success as both a mother and a creative person because of it! I know it!
ReplyDeletethanks SO much katie. that means a lot to me. especially coming from a creative mama like yourself!
ReplyDeletelovely photos. i can totally relate to your fears - it's a big jump (and a scary one!), but one that brings a lot of growth and a lot of excitement. so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteI understand how you're feeling . . . but you're right, it takes time. And you know what? I'm sure you made the right decision because so far, it's making you happy, but the best part is, it's not like your decision is/was irreversible. So nothing to worry about! You'll be just fine. :)
ReplyDeleterelying on God is hard, but the best thing. Happy for you!
