Reinvention

January 12, 2015 · In: Happiness, Photography, Uncategorized

IMG_1248-1IMG_1206-1IMG_1207-2IMG_1210-3IMG_1211-4IMG_1217-5IMG_1226-6IMG_1232-7How many times have you reinvented yourself? A new identity? Maybe a new career or new relationships? Sometimes it is by conscious  choice and sometimes interesting situations arise. 

It is a brand new year. Are you looking to reinvent yourself in any way? Is there something you or just a part of yourself wants to be?

YES! I am truly enjoying my life as a mother now. That is in full swing and so wonderful and now I am now a photographer as well! Here is a little shoot I did with my captive model. MWAHAHAHAH. I hope you join me on this journey!

PLEASE share with me what reinventions you are exploring!!!!!

    First of all, he is gorgeous and incredibly sweet and irresistible, and if you lived closer I would totally offer to babysit (as might my teen, who peeked over my shoulder and said “ah, cute baby!” 🙂 )

    Second, and in answer to your question, I don’t know if this counts as a reinvention, but I have resolved to be more ME. What I mean is, strive for improvement without disparaging what’s already there, creating something new and exciting while also appreciating the little beautiful bits in my everyday life, and doing my best and focusing on what I love and what makes me happy, without comparing any of that to someone else’s. I haven’t been doing all of that, so it is a reinvention of sorts, even if I am just striving for being more true to myself 🙂

    I hope you are having a lovely Sunday, Christina!!

      HA! Elisa!!! We could use a babysitter!!! 🙂 Thank you! I LOVE your reinvention! Being oneself is sometimes more challenging than it seems, yes? I check in sometimes with this as well. I get caught up in pleasing people and then find that I’m unhappy as a result! Thank you for sharing!!! I’m excited to hear the process!!

      Oh that is a great one, Abby! I could use some help with the procrastinating thing! AH! I’m so into how I feel about things instead of just getting down to it. It must be the hormones. LOL

After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, th After I finished breastfeeding our fourth baby, the varicose vein on my thigh was becoming really prominent.

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it. 

PS it’s been a staple food in my health journey.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!

Want to know exactly how I convinced myself that I was a healthy person and lost 25 pounds at 45 years old after 6 pregnancies and 4 kids?
