Must Be Cute or Can’t Put the Camera Down

June 10, 2013 · In: Out and About, Uncategorized

Why do you like going to certain places? I want CUTE and attention to details.

I found The Fat Hen on Elephantine’s Seattle Guide. It was this cute little restaurant hidden in a neighborhood of Ballard.

We went in to put our names on the 20-minute long wait-list and they offered us COFFEE WHILE WE WAITED. Bingo. This was going to be a great place.

The awning, bricks, red door and logo were kind of ridiculous.

Ooo look, the flannel and flip-flop look. It must be getting warm in Seattle! This face is saying, “Please stop taking pictures of me.” Those guys on the bench asked us, “Would you like us to take a photo of you together?” I said, “I would but HE wouldn’t, but thank you.” Check out their tight jeans and iPhones! Too cool.

I WANT this marble as my kitchen counter.

Don’t you LOVE when you get one of these bottles of water at your table?Bottled Water

What a great ceiling /slash/ the people sitting next to me are also rapid-fire-INSTAGRAMMING-photos of their food and each other.

This face says, “Is this the last picture I’m going to be in?”

Then there was the actual breakfast. I had the Avocado Benedict Chris had the Prosciutto Benedict. Insanely delicious. The eggs were perfectly poached. I’ve never had potatoes prepared so perfectly.

The staff was made up of sweet, adorable girls straight out of an Anthropolgie catalog. It’s our new favorite place to have breakfast in Seattle! FINALLY-since our previous fave, Anita’s Crepes, shut down due to some lease issues.

Now you’ve GOT to see this YOUTUBE video. I died!

What restaurants have totally impressed you with their decor and menu?

Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherho Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherhood stress comes from and what I’m doing that’s made me so much happier.

This is for my overachievers!

Once I realized what was going on underneath all of the over planning and prevention, I found a way to relax more.

Comment read and I’ll send it to you.
I had to believe that no matter what I was looking I had to believe that no matter what I was looking at in front of me (a dusty ranch style house that looked like an abandoned outpost), this could be my dream house. 

I kept reassuring myself that it could happen even though I had no idea how that would be possible unless I completely rebuilt the house.

Then I let it just sort of appear as I kept staring at the house.

Staring as a big part of having the vision come to you.

It took many years, but I’m very excited to come down the driveway each day.

paint and lime wash were absolutely transformational for the exterior renovation. 

As we play around the house, or drink coffee outside, I look at the house fondly and appreciate the beauty and how it serves us. 

Changing your beliefs we’ll set off a chain reaction for beautiful things to come.
Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you. I decided Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you.

I decided it was time to focus on my health so I started exercising and by week 3 I was quitting-this is from someone who used to be in the military and loves fitness.

Being a mom is different!

I decided to start with mindset. I did a specific technique and weight loss started and just got easier.

Being healthy became automatic.

I didn’t need more hours in the day and it wasn’t another job to add to my list.
I started this window treatment transformation yea I started this window treatment transformation years ago and I’ve been avoiding this part ever since. 

I finally ordered this curtain rod from the same company in a different size, but the color ended up being the wrong “gold/brass” tone.

Then I ordered these curtains and the color is not at all how I expected. I was thinking fresh spring and these have a dustier tone. Gorgeous just not the same vibe I had imagined.

It’s taking imperfect action that gives you clarity.

I could scroll until the cows came home but I just had to start with something physical I could look at and decide if it was a go or not.

Tell me what you think in the comments! I’llsend you all the details of this project.
This summer I took a break from keeping up with my This summer I took a break from keeping up with my own high expectations and then a newsletter that I write in the margins of my life ended up on a list with authors I’ve admired for years.

Coincidence?

“Top 100 Rising in Faith and Spirituality,” on Substack.
For a hot second I was a list with the author of Eat, Pray, Love! What!

I have to constantly retrain my mind to know that good things happen no matter what. I don’t have to toil to have what I want.

Yes, we have to signal to the world what we want to attract but it doesn’t have to feel like a burden. 

We create the reality we experience.

What would you allow yourself to receive if you believed that you were allowed to rest?
