I have been thinking a lot about this topic for the last few months now, then I came across this post from Clementine and Olive. She couldn't have hit the nail on the head more perfectly for me. It truly hit home. I am beyond guilty of getting caught up in my wants list, shoot, I even have a whole blog day dedicated to things I wants...yikes. The last few months, we've really been tightening up on spending {although you wouldn't know it based on this and this}. Joshy Bobby and I are really trying to focus on spending time together as a family and fun activities versus having new stuff. Not to mention with spring cleaning in full swing here....we have more than enough to organize/donate. UGH.
Anyhoo, back to what I was saying, we want to teach our children to be thankful for whatever they have at the moment and not have that urge to always want more. Which of course has to start with us. Don't play, I still plan on sharing gorgeous spaces and how we are living, but don't be surprised if there is more fam stuff thrown in the mix. Is that ok with you? I'll be your best friend ever, promise, just don't judge, k? I still plan on living fabulously, and we both know I will still yearn for all things glam. But lets keep it real.
xo,
Patience
Couldn't agree more! I want to be real, thankful and honest on my blog. Sharing the icky stuff, the inspirational and the fun stuff too! :) Sharing about my anxiety a few weeks ago was so freeing, I feel like it made me vulnerable but at the same time I put it out there for someone else. You go girl! :) I'd love to see more of your family on here, they are all so cute!
