...but sometimes it can inspire you to get off your butt and do something. My friend Janet is the most amazing person. In fact, so amazing that I thought about not being friends with her anymore because she makes me feel like a loser. But instead, I thought I'd keep her around and just be inspired by her awesomeness. She has five children (age 9 months to 9 years), homeschools three of them, maintains two website where she sells digital scrapbooking stuff (whatever that entails?), writes two blogs, and last year she wrote an e book in all her spare time. She also is an amazing photographer and takes free photos for all the families around here. She's an awesome mom who doesn't just maintain/manage but actually puts effort into every day. So I thought about how I could be a little awesome-er, like Janet. Well, five kids is definitely not an option, I stink at homeschooling, I don't like scrapbooking, writing a book seems a little daunting, so I decided to do the smallest Janet-esque thing I could find. She does a photo a day for the year, of anything that's in their daily lives. It's pretty neat to look back and see a few small details that might otherwise have gone undocumented. So I'm going to attempt the same thing. Starting late (typical) but still starting! Here's the first three:
Matthew always has a book with him.
Our friend Utih choosing a karaoke song for me to sing. She started out offering me Scorpion or Guns and Roses but we settled on Shania Twain
Nate loves mandarin oranges-he ate 4 for breakfast today and is screaming for more as I type this.
