Well, I’m a soccer mom now

It All Begins Here

Elijah had his very first ever organized sports experience - a soccer game. Well, it was less a game and eight 3-4 year olds squealing with joy and kicking a soccer ball on occasion. It was very cute and he was filled with joy, which is really all that matters.

Its Memorial day weekend, and as usual I’m trying to strike a balance between productivity, and hanging with the family. I have so much I want to do with my creations and now that my work is in an actual store, I’m excited and finding it difficult to pace myself. This however, is a good problem to have. Its been a fun journey to find what brings me joy - not as a mom, wife, or employee - but just as me, Larissa. Its not something I’ve mastered, I’m always learning of course, but I feel so much more fulfilled these days.

Here’s my brain-dump for today:

  • Take photos of my stickers and stationary to list on here

  • Buy patio furniture - the executive function that is required to turn my patio into something cute and comfy is apparently more than I can muster

  • Get rid of a bunch of crap in the storage unit - getting rid of things has really become a hobby of mine - especially when I can bring it to the free store, it feels so much better than holding onto stuff we don’t use

May your long weekend be filled with pockets of peace, moments of joy, and making the slice of world you live in 1% better.
