You've probably noticed I haven't been here lately, that is because last week I had my gallbladder removed and I have been taking it easy. ⁣
⁣
I'm still taking it easier, but I am feeling 80% better. More active and getting ready for my next crochet pattern launch on Tuesday! ⁣
⁣
Happy Hooking!⁣

Sliding into the weekend with my family in my heart and a new blanket on my lap. .

Why do snow days always seem to happen the day after I get the house clean and tidy? Oh well such is kid life.

Speaking of kid life snow days like today also mean throwing out any to-do list I had and just use this time to hang out with the kids...inside and outside. .

I just finished listening to "Become Super Woman" by @nicolelapin and I'm still trying to process everything she said.
One of the things I am really taking to heart is her talking about burnout. Last year I experienced peak burnout from trying to work 50+ hours, grow my crochet business, be a wife, mom, and friend. I was trying to do it all but not doing anything. Looking back I wasnt even staying afloat, I was sinking i just didnt know it.

It all came to a head when I was laid off from my job and decided to become an at home mom. The transition was anything but easy and it wasnt an immediate cure for my burnout but slowly I started to work out a new routine for me and my family and I also started to take better care of my health and body. I no longer feel like I'm on the brink of burnout but I also know that maintaining a balance is an ongoing activity not a one and done thing.

How many of you have struggled with burnout recently? What did you do to find a balance in your life?

Biggest facepalm ever!
I started this blanket back in late 2017 but just rediscovered it when I was straightening up my yarn closet. It was folded neatly in a picnic basket with all my notes, yarn, and hooks.
When I took it out and measured, I realized I'm about 12 inches from finishing! Why did I not finish!?!?! .
