Finding my groove & a necklace for you



I'm having the hardest time getting into the swing of things since the girls have gone back to school. I am doing things. All day. Everyday. But I am feeling rushed, anxious and scattered.

Fall is the busiest time of year for my little soap company since I do so many shows and festivals on the weekends. And, Razor is doing an adventure race this weekend where his team hopes to qualify for Nationals in November. Boo and Licious are clogging a little extra in preparation for the big fall festival where the group performs each year. Oh, and this weekend the girls and I are camping with the Girl Scouts. And tonight is Meet the Teacher night at school.

When I type it all out like that I realize all that we have going on. Perhaps a few deep breaths are in order. ::Inhale:: ::Exhale::

So anyway. I need to clear some things off my desk. This gorgeous necklace has been sitting here since I bought it sometime in June. It is made by the talented Lisa Leonard and I'd love for one of you lovelies to have it. Leave a comment and I'll randomly select the winner on Sunday afternoon. Sunday afternoon when I roll back in from camping with 33+ Brownies. Sunday afternoon when Razor is back from racing nonstop through the night like a maniac. (And, just for the record, he is a maniac.) Sunday afternoon when several of my to-do's are crossed off my list and perhaps I'll feel more like myself again.

Good luck homies.

ETA: I'm too tired. I'll pick the winner Monday morning. Hope you'll forgive me. :)

  5. I know what you mean by getting in the swing of things! I feel like I have been doing that since I quit my full time job to stay at home with my kids. The worst part? That was two years ago. I think as mothers we are all in a constant battle to keep our lives in balance. Specially when we want to do something for ourselves that we enjoy (like your cute soap company) Sometimes you just have to take it a day at a time and take a big deep breath! And enjoy it!
    Have a great day Dana!

  7. Beautiful necklace. How generous of you to share. Good luck with all the activity. Doesn't it go in waves? I'm so behind in the blogging, with all that's going on. The pics are taken, thoughts are gathered, but it's just hard to sit down and type it out. You do a wonderful job of sharing your life and activity with us and supporting your family. You go girl!

  8. That necklace makes me smile inside. And I would not give it away. Because I am JUST that selfish.

  11. I know what you mean about needing to breathe! Amongst all the chaos of school starting up and all of the extracurricular activities starting back up we had to prepare for Hurricane Ike. We got the house ready last night and were planning to leave at 5am this morning to move further inland. As I was heading upstairs to wake up the twins and get them in the car, DH checked the weather and discovered Ike had turned farther north and he would be able to finish up ginning cotton today! Sooo, I let the kids sleep and we're still here! You just never know what the new day will bring, do you?

    Have a great weekend with the Girl Scouts!!

  12. Oh I love that! I love being "mama" the most (more than "mom" or "mommy")

    Have a great weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I love Lisa's work, in fact I have her button on my blog! She made the most precious "Teacher" necklace that I gave to my daughter's preschool teacher in May.

    I have been feeling the same way as you. I have been adding craft fairs to my calendar and already feel anxious about having enough bags!

    I have been working on a to-do list and add every little thing to it. Just to clear my mind, feel like I am accomplishing something, and to try and keep myself focused.

  14. OH! Sweet SuperWoman, Hero to many - Dana!
    Fall is the most beautiful time of the year... and can very well be the busiest! Keep on breathing! (it is actually easier to breath in that wonderful crisp fall aire!) just keep going! in and out in and out! ;)
    Don't forget! dont get too caught up that you don't take the time for yourself & to enjoy the beauties that you are surrounded by! (easier said then done sometime... I KNOW!) Be sure to take your camera... cause i can't wait to see what wonderful things you capture this weekend!

  34. Yikes! Good luck with the schedule. Ours is like that through Nov. I've always wondered how you crafty women pull it all off! Have fun camping. If you can!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I totally feel like that too! In fact I've not been sleeping well because my brain won't shut down. I keep going over to-do lists and thinking of all the things I want to do and all the things I HAVE to do (like clean) and it's throwing me off. All I want to do is nap by the time it's quiet around here. Ah well, such is motherhood. At least fall is here and the apples are good!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Wow you are a busy woman. Good luck with eveything!

    ReplyDelete
  44. It's the strangest feeling having his change happening. I completely understand, I still have one at home, but feel soooo lost, and yet so busy I don't know whats what. I love the music list you have chosen, it smacks of many of my own personal favs...sometimes I will put in Curious George just to listen to Jack Johnson....

    I really, really like that necklace and whoever gets it will be blessed, but I truly would NOT mind if it were me that was blessed ;0)....

    Hoping your weekend goes well, and continue to breathe...

  50. Gorgeous necklace...it would be really fun to wear. I thought I had a busy weekend until I heard about yours...I think I'll stop complaining now!

    ReplyDelete
  51. you are very generous to give this beautiful necklace away! i would definitely be selfish and keep it for myself!
    i just need to sit back and breathe today and BELIEVE it everything will be okay for me. my father is suffering from alzheimer's and is getting worse and my son is giving me an absolute time, and i need some to reflect as a mom, wife and daughter. i'm feeling very unappreciated today. enough of my rambling.
    have a wonderful weekend.

  52. what a beautiful necklace and I know how you feel! Fall and Halloween are my busiest time for my crafts and since Dyllan ahs started pre-school I'm having trouble balancing my time and energy.

  53. Just discovered your blog! Gorgeous necklace that would be lovely around my new-mommy best friend's neck!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Lisa's stuff is just too wonderful, thanks so much for passing on a piece of her jewelry! And good luck with everything you're doing; sometimes that kind of hectic can be just what we need... if only for a little while:)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oh I hope that you can breath and enjoy your weekend camping. How fun that sounds. Anyway, I would love a chance to win.

    Thanks, Nat

  56. You have got to be one of the most generous people ever! I would love a chance to win the necklace. It would make up just a little for not winning that beautiful quilt!

  57. Take it easy. Remember to enjoy the fall!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thank you so much, Dana...that necklace is beautiful! I'm a bit jealous of the girlscouts. I have a fantasy of being a brownie/girlscout leader some day! Not so jealous of your crazy Razor...I'd be worried sick all the time!

  63. just beautiful, would be a perfect reminder of what mother really means.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I can't find my groove either. I'm not so much feeling rushed, just un-motivated (though I do have a lot to do these days!). This too, shall pass, at least I keep telling myself that. I used to be a Girl Scout and LOVED the camping trips. Have a great time! Nice giveaway. Thanks for making it available.

    Hugs from Georgia,
    Blessing for you,
    Yvonne
    You'll think of something to help yourself out here. Make a list. One of my friends would do a specific thing on a specific day of the week and stick to it...you know, like your mother or grandmother probably did. Mondays is for doing the wash. Tuesday you ironed. Wednesday...well, you get the idea

    ReplyDelete
  73. WOW, it's so pretty! I hope things work out for you in the next few days so you can relax and breathe again!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's doing ten things at once. I kinda like it. Makes me feel very alive. Just remember to breathe.

    Do take care of yourself.

  77. I love her jewelry. That necklace is so tender in it's message. I had to take a breather last week, I felt like I was in a creative funk and hadn't been spending enough time with the kidlets and hubby. Now I feel great. Hopefully once the back to school schedule settles in you will feel more at peace. Have a wonderful rest of the week.

  78. Dana, hope you get your grove back and into the swing of things. You always do such fun giveaways. Next you should do some of your homemade soap.

    I am a new mother, my toddler is only 2. I know i have a long way to go. This year I'm focusing a lot on myself, not that I'm doing it intentionally... and then i see other women (like you) with a full schedule, so focused on family. And I ask myself, can i get there? :)

  95. Dana,

    Breathe - that's the best advice you can give yourself. And cut yourself some slack too. It does take a while to get into the groove of the school. :o)

    The necklace is gorgeous! Thanks so much for offering it. I am a HUGE fan of Lisa's work, but have yet to treat myself to a piece of her jewelry.

    Here's hoping...

  96. Hi--I'm here to enter the quilt giveaway..?

    Just kidding, dear Dana. I'm here to say--hang in there. These school schedules can be dizzying, unsettling, overwhelming. I wish I could offer more comfort...I hope you find the right gear soon and also that magical key to making it all slow down just a little.

    Big hugs to you.

    (I'm fascinated by your husband's nightime races--through the woods, no less! Good luck to him!)

  97. My little one is not in school yet, but I am even feeling the change of pace this year. I hope you have some time to just "be" and enjoy the season! Gorgeous necklace - and a wonderful sentiment on it!

I know that you are enjoying those many things, though, so keep enjoying them and remember to take breaths when you get the chance.

    I have only just found time this past week to read blogs again after 3 months of nothing, and yours was one of the first I checked out in my bloglines..

    what a generous giveaway.. I love it and am checking out this lady's stuffs now.. thanks for sharing..

  125. I'm so glad to have found your site, via Lisa Leonard's blog! I sympathize with your rushed feelings, and I don't know about you but it won't slow down here until after Christmas!! I just try to keep remembering that someday when my babies are grown I will ache for this type of "busy"! Enjoy your camping trip with the brownies!!

  135. Just take in a deep breath and know this too shall pass. The youngest of my three daughters is a senior in high school and the years have flown by fast. It isn't until you "hear" the quiet of a house with children grown and out to their own lives that you have time to reflect back on those busy days as wonderful, calm, delightful days. Enjoy!

    ReplyDelete
  136. First I would like to say that your qulits are gorgeous!! I was so disappointed when I FINALLY made up my mind on my necklace choice and Lisa no longer had this one! I would LOVE,LOVE, LOVE this!!
    How sweet of you to give away!
    Hope its me :)

  137. I know how you feel! I just had a baby two weeks ago and can't seem to find my groove again as well!

  138. Fall certainly is a crazy busy month! Take a few deep breaths and remember to eat some donuts and drink some cider and enjoy the season! I need to clean off my desk, too. Too bad there isn't something by lisa leonard on it!

  144. I love that necklace. It reminds me of the connection I have to my sons, but as well as that it reminds me of the connection Ihave with my own mama and with my grandmama. I love being a mama and I love the connection to all of the women in my life.
