For Monday morning posts, I usually spend Sunday night going through pictures from the weekend, selecting the photos that are "blog worthy" and then spend the next 45 minutes to an hour editing/enhancing them and then writing the post. That did not happen last night. Paul and I were in bed by 8:30pm because I was just wiped and he had to be up really early this morning.
I'm finding that balance is one of the most important things in life. Too little, too much, too extreme, too tame, just isn't a way to live. And this can be applied to all arenas of life: Faith, Health, Family, Friends, Work...it all needs a healthy balance. In this blog I like to show you pretty pictures that have wonderful lighting, appealing arrangements and inspire you to try something new in your own life. But those pictures aren't always real life! At least not for me. More days than not, I go makeup-free, my hair is in a bun, and Roswelle is in food stained pjs (or just a diaper). Especially when we are in the country setting of North Truro.
So in an effort to keep things balanced here on the blog, I'm sharing a few pictures that are not staged or edited. This morning when Roswelle woke up, I changed her diaper, put on a sports bra, tossed her in her stroller, and we set off to get a coffee and some bananas for breakfast at the local market a half mile down the road. It was a quiet, slightly humid, and casual morning which is what we both seem to prefer.
