I’m having one of those days.
My mornings always start by browsing blogs, instagram, and making my to-do lists. This morning, while reading up on some of my favorite blogs: Megan over at Willowwayblog & Emily at EmilyLey.com/blog, I found myself becoming increasingly jealous!
Now, this is not going to be a post of the have-nots, however, these ladies have the life. I’m jealous, yes, but I admire BOTH of them a lot. They’re both ambitious women who have gone out and gotten what they’ve wanted.
Megan started a side business making these adorable headbands for little ones and Mamas, and it exploded into a career for her. She takes the cutest pics of her little and her creative touch on things makes me envy being a stay at home mom.
Emily is me. Seriously. She created the most amazing planner, as well as an iphone app for all things to organize – events, to-do lists, meals, notes/journal ideas/big thoughts, etc… Her planners sell out in an instant & her blog is such a refreshing read bright and early in the morning. [I highly recommend all of you to-do lists, meal prepping, crazies to download her app; Simplified Planner App, right this second. It is amazing- I’m obsessed.]
To get to my point –
Where is my calling?!
Both these ideas are simple, yet practical, they are both creative outlets, these women have flexible schedules, the list could go on…
Creating a planner? Come on – that could have been me. I can’t promise it would have looked as cute as hers, but I was left this morning thinking, “why didn’t I think of that,” a handful of times.
Now, pump the breaks before you ask, “Kaylee, don’t you like being a teacher?”
Of course I do! I get my summers off to dink around with Ace, cook some delicious meals, and sleep in whenever I want! Who wouldn’t be in heaven?! The problem is, I have three whole months of those shenanigans- I need a side job; MY creative outlet.
I have some ideas in the works, as I’ve been saying, and I’m still excited about them, however, I am just not certain it is going to be the best for me.
I guess, I will have to settle with sitting in my office, listening to Ace snore, drinking my coconut water lemonade, [MY FAVORITE! It is, in fact, like sticking a straw into a coconut], contemplate which Friends episode I’m going to watch before bed, & hope my life-changing idea will hit me in my sleep one of these nights.
That’ still a pretty good night 🙂
Onto dinner my lovelies – a chicken cob salad.
