Creativity RUT
I have hit a phase, if you will. You know the kind that you never want to hit, but somehow end up hitting anyway. My creativity is gone. Practicality wins over adventure and creativity... Always, well at least lately. In nearly every aspect of my life I feel as if I am lacking in the creativity side of my brain. My decorating is very SAFE, clean, but SAFE. My cooking (or lack thereof) is very safe; to the point of eating the same thing day after day. And don't even getting me started on my image. OK... get me started. My hair is the same as always, my makeup.. well, I barely wear it anymore, and my wardrobe are all SAFE. It really doesn't help when I look at dear friends blogs and see their creativity bursting from the screen. Oh sigh. Maybe I will find what I have lost, and sooner than later. Until then, wish me luck, send creative vibes my way, and for heavens sake don't loose your creativity mojo!

It's cause your married. I have gone through the same thing. You have less money and can't justify spending the money on being creative... at least that's my problem. But i am determined to change that. I am gonna get my butt in gear by decorating the cutest nursery ever.
That's why I chopped my hair off. I get in these ruts and go NUTS!! It also drives Brad crazy cause I start to re-organize the house and then he can't find anything....
Good luck and I know you will find your groove again. AND now that Ava and I have the summer off let us know what would be a good day to come to Provo and have lunch soon :) xoxo
I get into these ruts a lot and I hate it! New music to listen to helps me, or forcing myself to cook a new recipe.
But it will pass. And what I really wanted to say is that even if you feel like your look or style is "safe", you are adorable, so it's not such a bad thing.
you are beautiful and always have been.. "don't fix what isn't broke" :) i know, i know, very proper english!! if you need someone to talk to i'm available!! it's always nice to talk about random things :) call me sometime
Remember how you have a baby now? It's ok to do nothing but enjoy her because she won't always be little but you will always be creative.
Oh I have totally felt that way before. It happens to everyone! Here are a few blogs that I turn to for a little creative inspiration:
Decorating: decor8blog.com or designspongeonline.com
Cooking:hostesswiththemostess.com
Fashion:frugal-fashionistas.com
You're amazing at so many things.
ha ha! I feel ya. The hair, makeup or lack there of and clothes all kind of disappear in the cute area after having a baby. Somedays I don't even get out of my jammies. Thank goodness I have to work 2 times a week to keep me getting ready some of the time! :)
Hey, Megan. I went through the EXACT same thing after Max was born. Every ounce of your energy is going to your family, so it's hard to put your heart into much else.
The thing that helped me the most was taking a "Mommys night out". Ben would take Max and I'd wonder around the mall and get a snack and spend some time alone! As silly as it sounds, it made a HUGE difference - Just a few hours of time to relax and I'd feel like ME again!
Just an idea - it did wonders for me. (:
You're wonderful - and I love you!!
oh hush. let's go get our nails done. :)
You are so funny! I don't believe a word of it but I know how it feels being a new mom (and a wife of a poor student :)) There just aren't the resources to be creative. I hate that about this stage. I am just hoping in the long run it will only make me that much more creative when we are no longer in the bonds of poverty!!! :)
