Link Love: I’m Overwhelmed Edition
December 6, 2008 at 6:00 am , by Emily
Remember when I said I want to slow down? Well, I do. It’s just not been as easy as I’d idealistically imagined. I am still finding moments to roll in leaf piles with my kids and curl up with hot chocolate while dust bunnies gather in my corners. Maybe it’s all the Christmas decorations that are out and around my house that make it feel more overwhelming. Or make me think with all the shiny pretty that it’s okay not to vacuum. Whatever it is, I feel behind. I know I just have to let go and take a yoga class or something to relax about it all.
Ohm.

Thanks for the cool set of links to check out. I know what you are saying about finding it hard to slow down. It’s so hard sometimes when you have kids and it always does feel more hectic around the holidays. Hope you are able to find some calm!

This might be the hardest part of the year to slow down – but only a few more weeks! Thanks for the mention….

Thanks for the link love! I’ve been away for the weekend so only just noticed it – doh!! You’re not the only one who feels behind at the moment, I’ve done all my shopping, card writing and posting and I still feel like I’ve missed something? Maybe it’s the lack of light making me think that I’m doing less everyday?
