Consider yourself warned

Three years ago I started this blog and have filled it with 1283 different entries about life, family, creative ventures, travel, other creative minds and a hodgepodge of ideas.

I think I had a blogger breakdown last fall, where I kind of just stopped reading other blogs and writing on my blog. It was a nice break as I know I over extend myself.


I decided to split my blogger brain in hopes to keep it simple - only I would think starting a second blog would simplify my life. (I actually have 8 blogs on my dashboard - who knew huh?) So my friend and I, Stacy came up with the idea to start 2cleverblog. This way I could throw all my creative thoughts, traditions and ideas on that spot and then keep my more personal (is that even a word on the Internet) thoughts and family journaling on Everything Pink. It seems to be working.
So I am warning you that if you have liked Everything Pink because it has fun, has creative ideas for you to do with my family you may want take me off of your side bar and add 2cleverblog instead. If you like reading about my crazy life with my crazy kids and personal struggle with depression and fibromyalgia, feelings about the love of my church, miracle that I can do any kind of exercise and my anxiety about moving in the next 17 months then read on my cyber friends - but don't say I didn't warn you.

I seem to be in that total mom funk. I am sure the fact that Annie Kate is totally sick and Jeff is on his day 7 of a 10 day trip has something to do with it. But I can't ignore these feelings I am having of wondering how you balance this whole loving, creative mom with strong "you can't run over me" mom thing.
I fear my kids are just totally spoiled because of all my creative ideas and are used to advents to count down every event, painting, play dough fun fests. I know me and the word balance don't get along too well but I just can't figure out the way to be a fun mom with a strong mom.

Feel free to tell me like it is - How do you do it??
Is it possible to fun and firm?
