I'd been job searching for about a year. I gave up.I made this site all fresh and pretty.
I intended to focus on art & knitting...and maybe some outside blog designing. I intended to market my creations and try to make a whole hearted attempt.
Then. I got a job.
My life changed drastically. I work 'regular' hours and wonder how every other mother finds time.
My site has lapsed.My free time is devoted to my family. I'm tired. So tired. I miss my old life, seeing my friends on a regular basis, creating art, knitting.
But.
I know that change has to happen and will one day pay off in the form of my children's futures.

Just a quickie about why I've fizzled...so to speak. Not sure when I will be art journaling again. Maybe when the days are longer once more. Until then. My reasons:

Congrats on the job! Juggling can be tricky, exhausting and just plain tiring! You'll do great. :)

I wish I could grant you a few extra hours, because you SO deserve them. You are freaking awesome, JennO! ♥

Congrats! And ugh! Right????
I think that's why so much of my creativity has gone by the way side too. And I *only* work 25 hours a week...
Just how did your kids get so grown up?????? Or mine for that matter?
Yours are stunning!
:)

You are AMAZING ... C-Louu is right. You've got your priorities right {and I can believe how grown up and beautiful all three of them are ... well okay, Seth is crazy handsome, not beautiful}. I'm sorry your plate is so full, but I hope your finding tiny moments to create and make sure your taking care of your passions too! XOXO
