Do you ever feel like you spend so much time doing so many things, but never accomplish any one thing? I’ve felt that way, so much lately. I spend my day running around doing a little bit of everything, but not one solid task. That may be my plight for the rest of my life as a mother, but I’m realizing that I need to at least accomplish one significant task each day,… at least for my own sanity.

I know as each day passes, I do accomplish something significant, taking care of Little Miss Ruby. That is precious, but I have to admit that it helps my own well being to feel like I’m completing other tasks at hand. Does that make sense?

Maybe I’ll come to terms eventually, knowing that I’m never going to get the things I want to get done, all in one shot. There’s ALWAYS going to be a to-do list running off the pages and I’m never going to be able to check all of my boxes off, but for now,…I’m just going to make “loveys”. HA!

These “lovey’s” are just too fun to make! I can’t get enough of them.

I love doing crafty, artsy, creative things, but those things just take time, you know? I love that I’ve found these “lovey’s”. Something that I can do AND complete in time to feel like I’ve accomplished something in my day. They seriously take about an hour to make, start to finish.

I made this specific one for a friends baby shower.

Including a matching burp cloth. Too cute. I have to give Ashley props for the burp cloth. She made me a bunch for my baby shower and I got the idea from her!

So, my friends, if all else fails and your feeling defeated by that to-do list in hand, make a “lovey”! It’s sure to brighten your day!
