A three hour tour.....a three hour tour.....

Familiar? You have to go back a ways to pick this one up, or have caught re-runs.  Gilligan and his friends went on a "three hour tour" and were stranded for years.  That's sort of how this week felt like for me....except I didn't end up on a tropical island with funny people! 

I set out on my "weekly tour" and was stranded in details, and just didn't make the trip I expected.  But I plan to  being back on solid ground next week, AND with some fun projects wrapped up and some new things started.

Until then, here is a great article for your reading pleasure: Article from a blog called The Power of Moms entitled "Your Children want You".  It touches on blogs and Pinterest, and how we can all get overhwelmed thinking that "everyone has alphabetized, magnetic spice containers" or unless you are "wearing the latest fashions (in a size two, of course), there’s no point in even showing up for the day".

I happen to agree with this....all of this.  The blogosphere and internet in general can be overwhelming, and make us all feel less than Martha Stewart if we don't have themed parties and organized by color sock drawers. 

So what's my point? Well, my point is I think this blog is for you!  While I love to organized, it's very perfect behind the camera. I don't wear a size 2 (or 4 or 6) and I certainly don't have the latest fashions.  I don't strive to be perfect, because there is really no point, is there?

I enjoy doing the things I do, and sharing them with you as I go.  As I've said many times before, this is my to-do list, and is really making a different in the way I organize and make progress in my days (well, except for this week).  It's just for fun, and I hope you find it to be that way.

This weekend? We're celebrating my favorite person-in-the-world's 9th birthday!  I can't wait.  And no, don't wait for the themed table settings or fancy crafts: we're more of a hotdogs on paper plates kind of family.  It's exactly what he's asked for, and it will be a blast.

I hope you enjoy the article and take peace in being the mom (or dad or person) that you are: no more, no less.  And certainly not worried about doing it perfectly, just happily.

Happy weekend everyone!
