I saw it and immediately pulled over to take her picture. Cause... I mean... 😷 #makeitstop 😅

Come on now. 😍 Nadia's killin' me with her cuteness. She sets Lambie and Boy Lambie here for "school" every day before she leaves for her own school, and today they're apparently quizzing each other with math flashcards. These are the things I find during the day that make me pause and smile. I share just in case it makes you smile, too. 😊

Hello, hello, hello. ❤ What I have to say today

Hello, hello, hello. ❤ What I have to say today is actually kind of a big deal, but let me back up first.A month or more ago, I shared with you in the most honest way I could that I was NOT okay. Mentally, I was incredibly unstable. Physically, I was very sick. And I was at a loss for what to do but I knew I had to do something! So I made a psych appointment. And I felt good about that decision knowing I tried my very best. At that point, the best next step was to hopefully be put on medication that could, at the very least, keep me chugging along. But, long story short, the doctors couldn't get me an appointment until end of October. Two months away. 😳 That's a long time to wait when you're in the middle of a breakdown. However, I'm grateful that happened because in the meantime I took a friends suggestion and started seeing a TCM herbalist/acupuncturist.At my first visit, I burst into tears, begging her to "fix me, please. Please fix me." She assured me with complete confidence that she could. And would. She did not break that promise. Every symptom I've had has stemmed from my liver. We're talking the severe hormone imbalances, PMDD symptoms, rage, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic fatigue, heart palpitations, chronic migraines, dehydration... all of it. I've had 6 acupuncture visits, and in HALF that time, every symptom besides the migraines were gone. And my migraines are now so infrequent that it's almost not worth talking about.So here's what I have to say that's a big deal. Today I cancelled my psych appointment. I no longer need it. I haven't felt this happy, energetic, or full of life in, well, YEARS. And it would be unfair to take that appointment time away from someone who could actually use it.Dana looked at me playing with the girls the other night & I saw his hand on his chin, a slight smirk across his cheeks, and faint tears in his eyes. "It's nice to have you back." Nadia has said the same. I've said it to myself, too. I really, really love Marybeth, and I missed being her. God help me to never lose her again. ❤(P.S. This is not an anti-psych post. PLEASE SEEK HELP IF YOU EVEN SUSPECT THAT YOU MAY NEED IT. YOU MATTER.)

Thank you, Tea Bag Tag, for reminding me that wild was-- IS-- my word of the year, and I've been doing quite the poor job of living like it. Somewhere back in mid-May I put myself back in captivity. Yeah, no thanks. I'm back. 😉

A couple weeks ago, I shared a page I created in this journal. (You can find a mini process video in my Reels.) I nearly forgot to share this with those who were asking about this book- It's a handmade journal created in Nepal using paper made from the inner bark of the Lotka bush. I found this gem on Amazon, and I'm so glad I took a chance on it. It's truly beautiful and has the softest paper (bonus points because it's handmade paper and has deckled edges- my fave), perfect for any journal lover. However, keep in mind the paper is handmade and doesn't have consistency in terms of size and thickness. That certainly doesn't bother me, but I know some might find it to be a drawback. I truly love this book and highly recommend it. ❤ (Yes watercolors will bleed. Likely fountain pens will, too. But I actually enjoy the flow of paints on this paper-- makes it fun! I typically paint first and then "clean it up" after/add details using oil pastels.)@kathmanduvalleyco

Holy Moly. I'm finally caught up in my Project Life album! I still have plenty of journaling left to fill in all the gaps, but that's what Instagram is for, eh? So easy to just rewrite in this album what I already wrote here. And I'm thankful I subscribed to @aliedwards Stories By the Month kits this year. They made it SO much easier for me to keep up but also gave me just the right amount of product to not overdo or underdo it. 😉 As another bonus, the girls' LOVE looking at this album together. Tasha pulls it from the shelf almost every day. (Which is also why most of the page protectors are wrinkled. 🤣 Do they make page protector protectors?? 😅) So happy we have years of family memories printed and in albums like this. ❤#craftthestory
