Far From Perfect

I have to admit - I'm a people pleaser. I hate it when people don't like me and I put every effort into making sure that people do like/agree with me. There is nothing harder then hearing someone being overly critical or just simply mean, which brings on the feeling of guilt. 

That awful feeling!

The feeling that I'm not good enough, that I haven't done my part, that I haven't been honest enough, that some somehow I failed. 

I can't sleep.

I can't stop thinking about it; how I have failed yet again.

Honestly, it feels like a trap, and the only way to get out is to be better. To do much better job, to be more like other people, who are good enough. 

Well, I'm tired of it.

Yes, there are times when I have to admit that I'm wrong, and that I have made a mistake, but that doesn't diminish me as a person or educator. 

Mistakes are to learn from and move on.

So, as hard as it is going to be, I'm going to pick what's left of my self esteem and move on.

No body is perfect. 

So why am I trying to prove to the world that I am?

What's Better Than

skirt: thrifted, blazer: Target, tank: NY&Co, shoes: Tahari

- a bouquet of fresh sunflowers on my coffee table...

- morning cup of tea with a butter croissant...

- holding hands while taking a walk in park with hubby...

- hanging out with friends on Sunday night...

- smell of a the fresh cut grass...

- inspiring message in Sunday morning church...

- seeing a baby smile...

- getting home to a fresh cooked meal

- feeling the life that's growing inside for the first time

If you have at least one thing in your life that makes you smile, than it's life that's worth living.

Have a great week! 

There Are Days

Enjoying the last days of summer and super gorgeous weather. 

There is nothing like a morning stroll through the park and a cup of tea on the porch.

There are those days when you just want to put life on hold and enjoy every second of it. 

So enjoy yourself and have a wonderful weekend.

Lost in Closet

top, pants: Loft, necklace: J.Crew (via Ebay), shoes: Guess, shades: Old Navy

Sometimes I'm lost. Lost in my own closet. I say those words 'I have nothing to wear', while my husband is mockingly laughing at me. 

Well, then there are days when I do have something in mind, but when I put it together it looks just awful. So, I start to experiment and come up with something new and really unexpected. 

I love the color and pattern of this outfit and must say, those pants are very comfy, and there is nothing better then comfy for the expanding poochie. 

I'm trying to wear all my clothes that are getting little snug around my waist, because in about 3-4 weeks, I won't be able to anymore. 

Then I won't have anything to wear for sure.

Maternity wand here I come! 

P.S. If you look closer, you can see pochie peaking out. We are small but we already have fingers and nails. Yep, take that belly fat!
