This is not the ideal weather to be driving in. This is the weather where you look outside your window, say "Screw it!" and go back to bed.
Some clode-ups of the details in the Laundry room. The window is functional π Leocadia couldn't wait to start playing with it!
Tadahhh!!! My July monthly spread. Its "vacation season" so I don't have many goals, but I liked the #washitape , so it stays. If you can't tell, I have a *bit* of a #fox theme going on. π¦π Β° The #foxwashi is from @papergame.co and I loved it so much, I bought two samples and then a whole roll when it became available in the shop! The "Goals" and "Important" washi (they came from the same roll) and the Number washi was found in a basket at the register in @michaelsstores , along with 46 other rolls of #washitapes that were "buy 3 for $1". $16 later, I had suddenly become a #washihoarder π Β° The borders were drawn with @spectrumnoir #sparklepens and I love the glittery goodness they create!π The #inksplatter was provided by my 4-year-old daughterπ€£ Β° #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #monthlyspread #bujobuddies #bulletjournal #bujo #fox #foxeseverywhere #washitapes #glitter
BFFs. I can't believe this photo was taken 4 years ago! π¦β€
No matter what project I'm working on (I have several right now, so please excuse the messπ¨), Dollar always sits near me and chews on his beef bone. My #constantcompanion , he keeps my feet warm at night when he takes up the majority of my bed, he protects Leocadia, he scares coyotes away, and is a #spoiledrottendog But as soon as my brother comes home for a visit, Dollar quickly becomes his #bigpuppy Traitor. π€£
I've added new weekly spreads to my #bulletjournal over the past week!β€ I've become quite fond of using the color spectrum as a starting point for creating weekly layouts. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! #bujo #weeklies #color #roygbiv #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #planner #watercolorpencils #chalk #micronpen
I know this is a dog toy, but doesn't it look like a perfect over-stuffed recliner for the mini dolls?! #targettakemymoney #minidolls #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls
Easter was nice this year. Leocadia's aunt cooked Easter dinner. I got to see my nephews and Leocadia had a blast. But something has been bugging me about my interactions with people Sunday. I always feel obligated to blend in, to be pleasant. For me, that can be a lot of work and is physically and emotionally draining. A family member, at one point, was having difficulty get up from a sitting position on the floor and I suggested trying yoga. She laughed and asked if I had done it. I said yes, I did it for years, and my last class was at xmas. I've done yoga for years and I'm still limber enough to do some difficult poses well, despite the fact that I'm not skinny. Thet challenged me they told me to prove it. They didn't believe me. And I was expected to immediately start doing yoga poses for these people without centering myself.π Now, this should have raised red flags and questions then, but being me, I wasn't thinking about that, just trying to fit in. I realized they were laughing at me. They were belittling me. Why? I've noticed that this has become a trend with them. They constantly question my statements and do not ever believe a word I say. And more often than not, they laugh at what I say. I can't say they hurt my feelings, because they didn't. I can say I am embarrassed that I allowed these people to laugh at me. I have nothing to prove to them, or anybody really, and I need to remind my self of that. So, to my doubters and naysayers- Here's a challenge for you: go to a yoga class with me. And then come to my farm and do all the work I do. Carry 50 pound sacks of feed, bales of hay, chase down cattle and sheep, wade through muck and mire to shoot snakes, chop down diseased trees, feed babies and care for the sick. And do everything else I do while I also raise a child by myself. And then create the things I do on a daily basis. I have nothing to prove to you. I'm a badass. I prove that to myself every day.
I'm at my local @wafflehouseofficial again this morning. π¦πβ I've finished my final #weeklylayout for January and am now figuring out what to do for February π€ I'm thinking a #coffee theme is in order! #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #craftsupplyhoarder #bulletjournal #bujo #coffeegoals #coffeeislife #mildliner #micronpen #lepen #washitape #washipaper #stamp #keepitsimple https://www.instagram.com/marcellafox/p/BsqQES-AnCs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10bbyl15gciz9

Throwback to January 1st when I had tonnes of fun with my BFF @lza_plays and Leocadia at the American Girl Bistro in MA. Before, and after, tea I proceeded to all emotional over Luciana and her Space Camp goodies. Thankfully, no pictures exist of my emotional blubbering. This awesome lady gets me completely! Thank you, @lza_plays for a wonderful day and inviting us to tea!π #bff #teaparty #godmother #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #lucianavega #STEMgirls #craftymama #americangirlplace #judgementfreezone #spaceacademyalumnus #nostalgia #whenfriendsarebetterthanfamily
