It's be a while since the last instalife post! wow.. I think it was before Thanksgiving! We've been so adventurous lately that I had quite a few I wanted to share.

 1. an afternoon spent in the country helping cut/haul wood.
 2. Valentine's day treats!
 3. My new ZELDA WALLET!
 4. We saw the Lego movie! It was a life changing event for Conrad and I both.
 5.  The last little snow day we had. My front yard looked so lovely.
 6. My first attempt at homemade tortillas. They needed more salt apparently lol
 7. Action shot of Conrad's new favorite daredevil to do at my parents house.
 8. Future archaeologist digging for gems. I'm in awe of his love of nature and exploring.
 9. I keep cutting my bangs. I'm loving them lately.
10. This past weekend at the flea market was completely perfect.. great weather.. just relaxed. We found some great furniture and lots of  books that I'm excited to read.

What have you been up to?

 The ending of 2013 was crazy busy preparing and working on this web site for S.W.A.T Firearms. I cannot begin to say how rad these guys are! The owner I worked with was basically a dream client and I truly had a blast from start to finish getting to know her and their company. I knew immediately that I was going to be steering towards a metallic and grungy vibe and I think it turned out great. They've already gotten a ton of compliments from customers which is always a plus. Happy client, happy me. If you happen to be in the market for a great firearm (Check out that hot pink one!) they truly are wonderful. I'm also happy that they are return customers and we are working towards adapting it to be responsive and constantly adding features to increase customer interaction.
What do you think?

tata for now. Happy Monday everyone!

I was very inspired this morning by the quote and image shared recently on 79 Ideas.  We're fairly settled into our house, I decided to delay moving on with my masters another semester , and I've cleared up most of my freelance work, so its safe to say that life is much more on the calm side these days.

YET, I still find myself feeling constantly overwhelmed.

Whether it be from digging through my closet of things I never wear, or my son complaining because he doesn't have any thing to do/toys to play with, I feel that my answer to this problem is to simplify my life. I use my closet and my sons toys as an example because they seem to be my number frustration factor. We have too much clothes and so many toys that we cannot filter out what we actually use/like/wear.As soon as we have a decent weather weekend I'm going into garage sell mode and simplifying my life.

 This is also applies to a lot of other things as for me emotionally and mentally. I get caught up with anxiety related to my job, trying to be a good parent, friend, girlfriend, daughter and it's exhausting. So I am on a mission to simplify my life. If I want something, ask for it. If I want to be a better mom, do it. If I want to go somewhere, go.  To go with the flow. Have more adventures and enjoy my life more.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed? How do you cope with it?

We had yet ANOTHER snow day and half! If you are from anywhere other than the south then you are probably thinking, "You think you know about a snow day? We've had a snow month..." but in Texas, snow is like seeing big foot. It just doesn't happen that often. We are lucky if we get it once a year. So it was nice to get to miss work and school for a day 1/2 making it 3 1/2 day weekend!  Conrad was ecstatic, Lola not so much. lol

Happy Weekend!
