I love crafting. I love it that I'm creating and doing when ever I can and bubbling with new ideas all the time. But I also would like to be little bit more balanced with it. Have little bit more zen into it.

Lazy days - oh where are you...
It has been beautiful winter weather here in the Netherlands for a week now but we have missed all the ice-skating fun because of a flu. I'm still not completely over it and I really would like to have one of those good old lazy days doing nothing, but I can't. I don't know if it is the motherhood, the crafting or the age, but I just can not sit still any more. Probably it is all three of them combined that is to blame. Obviously if I'm home alone with all my three children with ages 0, 3 and 4, I really can't. But even if I would be home alone or just with the baby, I still can not do it. It would feel like such a waist! There is always so much to do! Household chores obviously, but for two years now also loooong list of crafty projects waiting to be finished or started. Don't get me wrong, I do feel lazy all the time. It often feels that everyone else with zillion kids get so much more done (and someone always will, so why do I keep on comparing :). I just can not be lazy for one day and be OK with it.

i agree with you on this post - always something to do. I wonder why we always feel we must do these jobs? Is it the way we were bought up? I have been trying to lie down and rest when I get the chance though often I think I could get some jobs done like the washing so quickly while baby sleeps. Almost everytime I lie down and close my eyes she wakes up or makes loud noises in her sleep! I don't know how you manage though with all 3 children so young! x
I have never been able to follow the "sleep when baby sleep" advice. It is just too tempting to use that time for something else than sleeping. Oh well, few more years and most likely they all will sleep the night through most of the time :)
