i have so much to tell you about.
like how i've been in maui for 6 days with just tim (just tim! and me! on the beach! in maui! best trip ever! get ready for a million pics one of these days) & am having major being-home-again withdrawals.
how i've quit breastfeeding eden & my hormones are actin' a fool.
how one of my headers was featured in artful blogging magazine? nat! say what? pinch me, please.
how summer is quickly coming to an end & school starts in 2 weeks. pretty sad about that.
how i'm so in love with my husband. maui will do that to you. i'm twitter-pated with that boy.
how it's a hundred friggin degrees here. my airs already blasting at 8 in the morning. & i'm totally wishing i could've lived on maui forever+ever.
oh wait, already said that.
how i'm up to something with life made lovely again. excited for you to see!
how eden turned nine months old a few days ago! ohdear.
and
and...
i have so much to say, but i don't know how to say it.
do you ever get there?
so instead i sit here staring at the screen.
with a million posts in my head.
and a million ideas swirling around.
staring at my two full buckets of laundry that need to be started.
listening to the quiet of kids still sleeping.
and almost wanting to cry...
wondering how..., why God is blessing me SO so much lately, when i totally am undeserving.
& out of nowhere, too.
[but then again, we never are deserving, are we. dirty, rotten sinner, i am. that's the beauty of our God!]
like an, oh-my-gosh, this-is-really-happening, pinch-me-quick, kind of blessing me.
over+over again.
how i want to give back, but have been feeling stuck.
stuck in this blog.
stuck in my business.
bored with a capitol b with it all.
annoyed with a lot of social media shtuff lately. & the love/hate relationship i have with it all.
[but that, my friends, is for another day.]
do i want to make prints again?
should i stick to blog/card design?
should i move to maui & drink piña coladas by the pool everyday of my life?
are we gonna move somewhere?
where?
do you like to hula?
should i continue taking a break, & continue praying about where God wants to take me/us with it all?
am i over thinking things again??
yes, yes i should.
and yes, yes i am.
see?
no words.
well, some words.
but mostly just a lot of food for thought.
feeling happy though!
with a very full & grateful heart.
feeling a little wild, too. lol.
God is taking our family on a wild adventure, and i'm in the front seat of the wilderness van with my binoculars trying to see what's ahead. when really he's saying, trust me. i've got this. just ride in the stupid van, molly! and look around you! take it all in. BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.
er, something like that.
[how do you like that for an analogy? ha!]

| oh, hey maui. what's that you say? you want me to come enjoy another magical sunset with you? well, okay. if you insist. |
squirrel!

molllllllllllllyyyyyyy. can i come over today?
ok. i will.
but i'll probs stay way too long.
because i think we'd have lots to talk about.
and also.
this cute post wanted me to run behind your van waving my hands, shouting, "wait for me!!!" "i wanna come!" ...... yes, you got me all excited.
life is SO amazing. quite the adventure.
now why do we mommas always try to organize and orchestrate it all on our own?
that's right, let's sit back, relax. and be still.
HE's smiling down on YOU sweet girl, you are his BEAUTIFUL daughter, just shining away for HIM!
xoxoxoo
I love you. And am laughing and nodding and packing my bag to move with you to Maui k?
just ride in the stupid van.
bhahahaha! i love that!
also because i feel like He says that to me all.the.time.
xo
Pretty sure we're in the crazy van next to your van. Feel the ExACT same way as this whole post... minus the maui part.. yeah. Wish I could've been there haha!
But the feeling you know the Lord is up to something. Not sure what. And you just rush ahead making plans and daydreaming all the while life is beautiful and a dream around you. yep. totally there.
Adore you and your blog!
And please don't stop designing... your work is hands down my fav. inspiring my dear.
happy week!
i'll move to maui with you!! i'll be you neighbor. we can sip pinas all day and the kids can play on the beach all day. that's what heaven will be like right?
we need an actual phone date to catch up ok?! ok!
First, CONGRATS on the mag publish! Pretty exciting stuff!
But I too feel ya on wanting to throw up my arms and run for the hills, away from all the socially social stuff. I already have a hiatus lined up for after sister's wedding. If you don't make it back to Maui, I have tiki torches in my backyard. Come over. I can also offer those little umbrellas for your drink. And did I mention tiki torches? Whatever. Just post more pictures of Maui, I want to see and pretend escape from this death heat.
Love you more than pina coladas and social media. True statement. Mai Tais for me all the way. xo!
oh hey, it's me, just up trying to get my baby to go to sleep, catchin' up on your blog. :)
this post was like something I could have written (minus the parts about the trip to Maui... I might be slightly jealous but mostly just happy that you guys got to go to Maui!! alone!!! AWESOME!! you two deserve it.)
"how I want to give back, but have been feeling stuck"-- that just hit me, and I was like "yes!! me too!!"
I sometimes wonder so much what God is doing with our family and I feel so incredibly lost and helpless and totally unequipped sometimes... but then I remember I'm not, because HE is in control. and this post of yours was another sweet reminder of that. ah, how sweet to trust in Jesus!!
and this comment is now really long and quite rambly because it's late and I'm sleep-deprived and I probably shouldn't allow myself to write blog comments at this hour... but I really enjoyed "talking" to you tonight. :) and I always love catching up with you. through the blog, but someday, in person again!!! yes??
good night. love you. :)
Molly, how have I not come across your before?! I was looking at all the designs in Heather's shop and yours are my favorites for sure. Maybe you SHOULD start prints again;) Nice to "meet" you!
