Hi friends,
I am in the process of doing lots of little things in order to do one big thing: simplify my life. I am re-evaluating lots of aspects of my day-to-day routine and world. How much “stuff” do I really need? How much time can I devote to different things I want/like/need to do? These are questions I’m asking, answering, and then moving forward with based on the answers. It’s shaking things up a bit. I know the end product will be awesome because I will have less stuff, more focus and (hopefully) more energy.
To add to the mix, my husband and I are laying pavers outside our patio so that we no longer have a mud pit for a play yard for the kids. I am so excited, and so exhausted at the same time. This weekend has been a whirlwind of back-breaking work, sweat, laughter, tears, time with just me and my man, missing my kids, and PB&J for dinner because we’re so tired (and also wondering how much money we have left in the bank). Today is the last day- we have to finish, because tomorrow it’s back to reality, patio or no patio.
And so, then next time you see me will likely be Thursday. I need a break from posting every day, and that is also something I’m examining- do I really need to post every day? I’m thinking it’s not sane for me at this current time.
But guess what?! You will SEE me Thursday because the ladies at Chronically Distracted have assigned a VLOG for our Happiness Project. My first reaction: “I need to put on makeup for that.” My second reaction: “No way. Not gonna do it.” My third reaction: “Buck up, Nat. You can do it.” So, after I figure out the best angle for my face, I will follow through the assignment and you will actually get to see me AND hear me on Thursday.
See you then!
Nat
I have decided it’s too much for me to post every day along with all of the other things I want to accomplish. For example, this weekend, instead of enjoying our extra day with my husband, we are

Life is crazy. Craft it well. Thanks for stopping by Crafting Crazy! I'm stumbling into a new sort of life after leaving a 12-year teaching career. More of a practical crafter, I'm trying to temper the perfection a bit. If I mess up, I’ll be sure to share- then we can laugh together. Here you'll find anything I like that makes my life better or fun. Crafts, of course, but also posts about food, home decor, exercise... whatever I'm dabbling in at the moment. I'm so glad you're here- thanks for stopping by! Content Brewing!

Yay! Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday!! If I can put my mug up in a vlog, so can you!!
you do NOT need to post a blog entry every day! even bloggers who make money via blogging do not post every day (well the bloggers whose websites that i like to browse, anyway). readers will come and go and those who like your blog will come back even if you don’t post every day. who says you have to post every day, anyway? it’s not worth having that kind of a goal if it is makes you feel crazy (even though you already are crafting-crazy haha) or takes away time from your little ones (or yourself). oh and don’t worry about the makeup. you always look completely put-together in my opinion and, no matter what, you are well-spoken and that counts for a lot more than appearance anyway. just make sure you show your left-side face profile because that’s your better side (kidding!!!!). i don’t mean to give you a hard time, i can just sense your frustration (from this post) at not being able to work on the blog as much as you’d like and, while i’ll admit i’d love to read a new post every day, it’s just not realistic or necessary and i’ll still read even if you post every once in a blue moon!
