September 1st

I'm drinking cinnimon coffee and listening to FleetFoxes while thinking quite a bit about the school year starting next Tuesday and I am very eager to get back on the girls school schedule so that can enhance my personal work load. I have a lot of very exciting things and ideas that I'm working on developing soon. Let's just say I am VERY excited about this Fall season.

Since joining the Rising Tide Society I have been kicked in the butt with motivation to not get so eager to book shoots to make money and get my name out there, but rather to improve myself to be the best I can be and to figure out what area of photography I find my highest passion in, and to make art that is real and true to me. (Lately I have been so inspired by food and travel photography. I'm really hoping to be able to cook a lot more this Fall so maybe I can play around with that some.)

The word is out that I am opening an Etsy shop this Fall/Winter. I don't have a set deadline as I never reach them and only end up discouraging myself. I'm taking my time to truely develop somthing I hope to be pretty great. I will be sharing the name with everyone soon so stay updated!

This brings me to my next thought. Blogging. Blogging is hard. I just don't want to write boring stuff, but I want to be real. And most the of the time I'm just not in the mood to write about the real stuff, you know, stopping fights with the kids, needing an oil change, dropping my phone 4,791 times a day, and not getting around to numer two on my to-do list(which is probably to write down a to-do list). I also write very slow and feel like nothing is worth an hour of my time to talk to possibly nobody about. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. I'm not discouraged by this...I guess I just don't know what to think. Hmm...Oh well. 
I really do hope to get better at blogging and find topics that are truely interesting to me and others as well. I guess I'll keep at it then.

I'm really in the mood for peanut butter right now. Unfortunately one of the kids is allergic so I cannot eat peanut butter while I am with them. Dangit. Cinnimon PB toast is my fave Fall breakfast on the go. Although I really shouldn't take it to go because it always ends up on my lap before I even pull out of the driveway. 
During the warmer seasons its avacado toast with salt and/or coconut oil. That's even worse to take on the road. But its so worth it. 

I'm super hungry right now.

I'm also very rambling today.

I'm going to let you go now.

K, bye!

One more thing. This is my dog in a guitar store. He will make my blog much cuter I think.
