My Story

Currently | October 2015

Sleeping | very little. Baby Anders has gotten a habit of waking up every 1-2 hours every night, all night long to nurse. I’m so behind on everything due to exhaustion it’s not even funny. If I owe you an email, it’s coming!

Eating | much less sugar than usual. I intend to quit almost entirely but at this point I’m settling for ‘everything in moderation’. We’ve stopping eating anything with more than 5% suger in it, that’s the only rule. Now I just need to go easy on the salty foods too.

Loving | my guy for putting up with a sleep and sugar deprived Nina.

Reading | Big Magic – Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s so good I can’t even.

Also reading | Finding Lily by Rachel Del, or Rachel Del Grosso (big city quiet) as some of you paper crafters may know her. A different read than I usually go for but very enjoyable, romantic and a tiny bit heart break-y at times.

Making | actual scrapbooking layouts. Yessir, it’s really happening. My favorite recent layout is part of the Mixed Media online class over at Studio Calico where I’m giving you the scoop on a fun technique and an assignment. Good times!

Listening | to podcasts. When I do get a chance to sit and work a bit I much prefer listening to podcasts over music. I’m super into Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast (I love a good politically incorrect rant!) and looking very much forward to the #GIRLBOSS podcast launching soon.

Watching | Marie Forleo interviewing Elizabeth Gilbert on her new book, the previously mentioned Big Magic over on YouTube. If you’re more into videos than reading, or simply curious about what the big deal is about Big Magic, this interview is for you.

Planning | an online card-making class (yay!) and my printable paper crafty club (double yay!). I’ve mentioned the latter in my newsletter earlier this year but haven’t been able to start working on it until recently.

Feeling | overwhelmed, loved and happy.
