Dream home...

I've been thinking about what my "dream home" looks like...or more, what it feels like. (Is that strange, to imagine what it feels like?)

I have a strong pull towards lots of natural light, bright and colorful things here and there and pictures everywhere. And books of course :)

I'm getting really excited about having a new place to live for my children and I...a place to build a fort with fairy lights and read piles of books.

A place that feels like us and where we share happy moments for sweet memories. ♥

I've started boxing up little bits of my house and resisting the urge to get rid of everything...because that's just not practical. :) But I can start gathering a little bit of new stuff...like these new dishes.

I realized after I bought them that they reminded me very much of my favorite dishes growing up, which weren't the fancy china dishes but the cute cheap ones. :)

Life's crazy....

I didn't mean to go so long without posting.

My days have been so full...(everyone's are, right?) and I'm trying to stay in that sweet spot of *balance*.

Trying to take some time to figure some things out in my life...direction, goals, that sort of thing.

The pictures show a little bit of what my days have been full of lately. :)

ONE of these days I'll do a "real" post :)

Direction....

It's been on my mind quite a bit recently.

Due to circumstances and life happenings, I realize that I have taken a rain check from making any plans for life. :) That sounds a bit silly, doesn't it?
But it's actually true for me. Friend have heard me say "I stopped making plans awhile back".

I've just been kind of drifting along, amidst a busy schedule, grief, raising my beautiful children, etc.

I started reading this book recently, (a new blog post about that and the follow up book will be coming soon :) )

and it has given me a lot to think about.

I'm afraid that by not making any plans or having any new dreams, I've been allowing my time to be filled with aimless wanderings.

Don't get me wrong, there have been a lot of really great moments and life, although it's hard at times, is still really beautiful. :) I have a lot to be thankful for. :)

But I believe that life is meant to be nothing less than magic.

And that means that I should probably start deciding just exactly what it is that I want to see, accomplish, do for others and experience in this life.

Those are my thoughts on this Saturday night. :)
