Like many “mom blogs” out there this is a way to connect with the outside world ( I do make it out of the house sometimes.) I have a love for creating and trying new things. It doesn’t always have to be beautiful or perfect, (never are my projects perfect) but a short and sweet DIY project is like the happy hours I used to go to on Friday nights. When I am working on one, I am able to unwind and at the end of a few hours see progress. In the work of mothering so often the effort put forth looks like it is constantly undone. The table is messy after cleaning it, the pants are pooped in after new ones are put on. Lunch is not cleaned up before I hear “I’m hungry” and laundry is NEVER FRECKIN FINISHED. To see some ugly furniture spray painted is like seeing a part of the world redeemed. It’s addicting. So I share here, because like my mom always said, “Sometimes you just need to share with your girlfriends”
I would love to know if something I have done here strikes your fancy. I am thankful for the opportunity I have to work here in this space.
Lauren, Great writing and thinking….I love you. Dad
Lauren,
Love your blog, especially the TJ’s stuff. Since I work there I get to taste all the new stuff and would recommend you try the new PB&J bar. Totally yummy and takes me back to childhood PB&J sandwiches.
Ciao,
Kat
Awesome! It will be first on my list next week. Thanks for checking it out.
