London made this Mr. Potato Head yesterday. The more I looked at it, the more I realized it is exactly how I feel. All messed up. I don't know why exactly. But I just feel out of sorts. Finding my way I suppose. Talking with some of my friends I think we are coming to this realization; I want more. Not more stuff....just more for me. I want to be something more than a mom, a wife, a daughter. I guess I am just trying to find me. My loves, my interests, my desires, what I love, what I want to do.
It is a lot to think about. And by the end of the day I do feel like my tongue is my ear and my ear is my nose.
I got back to the basics though this week. What do I love? Of course I love being a mom, but when he is out of the house, then what? Who am I when he is not around? I thought and thought....
You know what I like?
Food. Cooking. Inventing. Reading. Creating.
So what does that look like in everyday life? Not sure. But my husband has brought to my attention, that maybe (just maybe) someone out there in cyber space would benefit from what I learn. Every coupla weeks I make longs lists of groceries, plan out my meals, make healthy alternatives and substitutions, and try to make my family the happiest healthiest people I can.
Would anyone out there want to hear about that? I don't know. But I think I might do it anyway. Just once in a while I will let you know what is going on in my food world. And if it helps you, great.
In the meantime, here are a few more pics of something I love. Can't pass it up.

I, for one, would certainly love more and new ideas on healthy foods and dinner plans! I'm constantly getting tired of my same ol back up plans. Do it!

I would love to read about it as well! Sounds interesting! :)

hey friend, i love all that you shared and all that trav encouraged you to do too. i know that sometimes you feel like a mess and that's ok, cause life just doesn't always have directions for every thing we go through. i'm just thankful the Lord let's us go through them and figure out who we are, who he's created us to be and how he wants us to use our gifts and talents. just wanted to remind you that i think you being a mom, a wife and a daughter is a beautiful thing in and of itself. you do all 3 of those things so wonderfully! your other gifts, loves and passions are just extra bonuses in my opinion. your a great cook and creative in so many ways. so if this blog helps you get out your creativity then by all means be creative. remember that GOD knows who you are and he loves you in the day to day life you lead in being a mom, a wife and a daughter and he doesn't find any of that menial and neither do i. love ya!
