around these parts











{calendar from my shop}

Lately....
I've been a little uninspired.
I've had no motivation to fold the laundry that's been sitting there for almost a week.
D decided to quit his job and is looking for another one.
I've cut out junk food from my diet and my daily meals consist of smoothies, vegetable sandwiches,  kamut cereal, and whatever we decide to have for dinner.
I've lost an inch of body fat thanks to this little lifestyle change and haven't been as hungry.
I'm dying for the warmer weather so we can resume our daily bike rides.
I've been creating a couple new camera strap covers for the shop for spring/summer.
My taxes are finally done and that stress has been lifted.
I've been feeling good and pushing myself into uncomfortable situations.
I'm excited for the future.

Your turn...

  1. Oh my, those shots are incredible! I love that warm, gentle hue you have goin' on. (Also: need that calender!)

    I hate feeling uninspired. Sending a big hug your way! You'll feel better soon! Also, good luck with D finding a new job!

  4. Me too! It's a dumb feeling and I hate it. I have been spending far less time on the internet and that has been helpful. It is funny how a place of such inspiration can also drain you of all inspiration, you know?

  5. Me too! As much as I have to do all my chores, I have not been motivated enough. Laundry, pedicure, cleaning my room - I have not done anything...

    I've been obsessed lately with just lettuce and tomato on a croissant. I drink banana/strawberry smoothies multiple times a day too. I cut out soda, which was huge for me haha... junky snacks, basically tons of stuff with sugar in it and processed stuff. I'm trying to eat less sugar and starch and keep my carbs under 100g a day which is pretty easy.

    feel better soon!

  11. I love the color you have in your photos. Very beautiful!!

    How do you do your taxes since you have a few businesses? Do you have to take them to someone to get them done? I'm curious because I'm opening an Etsy store soon.


    Thanks girl!

  12. I need a photography lesson from you. I bet you could be "uninspired" all day long and still be excessively creative. Can't wait to see the new camera straps. And I'm going to have to try the "no junk food" thing. I've tried once before and failed miserably.

  14. I have been feeling a little like that lately...so much washing to do, the house needs a good clean, so many blog posts to write...it makes me want to hide under the covers sometimes!

  17. i really like how all your pics have the same vintage vibe with sortof a mint tone to them. i wish i knew how to edit pics like that.
    good job on improved eating habits. i suck at eating healthy food.

  23. I love how you said "I've been feeling good and pushing myself into uncomfortable situations."

    I have been trying to do the same. Sometimes if we don't put ourselves in uncomfortable situations we end up missing out. I'm trying!
