snowflake rainbow heart
We got a snail. ewww. Our long-living {read a few months!} beta fish was creating a ton of algae so we headed to Petco to buy a snail to eat it up... and our littlest one fell in love... with a snail.
She tucked it in, sang it songs, and couldn't stop loving on it. Where did she come from? I'm sure glad she's mine though.
Every snail has to have a name, right? This one is "Snowflake Rainbow Heart." Of course

Tomorrow is September 1st! To me, that means the first day of fall... which I always feel bittersweet about. Because Dave is a teacher he has a couple of months off every summer, which is wonderful. Although we tried to be more laid back this year, the end of his vacation became a mad dash to complete our back yard renovation - and we didn't get it finished. I feel like that happens a lot to me... I don't get it finished. Whatever "it" may be.
- painting the living room
- painting my dining room table {needs one more coat!}
- girl's room re-do
- too many sewing projects to count
- handmade gifts for family
- my presentation for a workshop at church {coming up in 2 weeks!}
- the back yard
- and FAR too many other things to list here
I know the new year is in January, but I always feel like the school year is the "real" new year for me. I realize that I am spread way too thin. It's happened over time, and although I love to be busy, I hate to be so busy that I can't do any one thing well. I don't have time play with my kids, spend time with my husband, prepare well for ministry at church, or even to get together with a good friend for a cup of coffee. I hate that.
So, this "new year" I am going to finish out all the things I am committed to, and then start paring it down. I know I will always be busy, it's a season in life, but I want to concentrate on my family, friends, the Lord, and the things I love. Maybe then, this {from Pinterest} won't apply to me anymore!
